Yeah, it's not one I remember seeing, either. I also just checked the inbox and don't see an email from you or any emails including that image, just FYI.

at 21:05 | Re: Portrait SubmissionIs there any way to confirm that a submission has been received and is in the process somewhere? I recall that the last time I sent in a portrait it got lost in the shuffle and I'm a little worried about this one.

at 10:04 | Re: Portrait SubmissionOur process is a little longer than it used to be; I apologize for the delay, and will update everyone when the latest round have made it in where they should be. For those of you waiting, I've got 27 portraits queued for upload, so if you've been waiting a while and are wondering... odds are, it's waiting to go up, so just hang tight and we'll keep you posted.

at 17:06 | Re: Portrait SubmissionWe're having some troubles with the process post-server move, so we're a little back-logged at the moment. We're building up a backlog so that when the uploads are good to go, we'll be able to plough through them. Submissions are continuing as normal because we can do all the prep work in the meantime.

Can we get a list of what categories were added to? I made a submission, but it's not where I expected it to go and I'm not up for searching every single category...

at 10:01 | Re: Portrait SubmissionWith apologies to everyone who got excited at seeing this thread ping red, a question about the dreaded tags: I see portraits are going up without them, but will any submitted tags be kept on hand for folks adding them later?
The relevance is that whilst I have notes on which tribe folk belong to, Google is a dubious help backsearching images for players/allowing people who aren't me to easily use historical portraits accurately & respectfully off the shelf rather than 'eh, right continent'-generically. If not, is there anything that could be done user-side to help, like putting info in file names? It strikes me this'd be useful for old military uniforms, too, as they can be confusing.
Also, I had a thought on Boogs' missing portrait since I was checking the rules and a portrait in colour just squeaked under this: might it have got auto-rejected for being over 5kb as a 100x100 piece? Unless it's turned up by now and is queued/somewhere I haven't seen, that is.

I can answer this part: Submissions are not rejected based on file size, because I generally edit them, myself, and get them to that size anyway. No one is required to actually edit their own portraits down to a 100 x 100 pixel JPEG that's 5kb or less; that's just what they have to be at the end, when they go into the gallery. So, if someone sends us a 1920 x 1080 PNG, that's still a valid submission and we get those all the time. Don't ever worry if you can't quite manage to force it down to that 5kb file size, send it in anyway!

at 12:37 | Re: Portrait SubmissionJust a thank you to ALL those that are actual Admin, Moderators, portrait people for all the hard work you do.
To everyone, just choose a pic that you want submitted, by the rules, any size and put your rpol name and where you would like to see the portrait, i.e. Male casual as it says in the submission rules. But sometimes you need to look through all categories as they don't always go where you thought it should.
There really is no need for a middle man to do anything to the pictures you email in. That is what the astounding Portrait team do, they know exactly what to do and have been doing it expertly for years.
Hats off and applause to all of them for doing their designated part so we can all enjoy our gaming experience.
If you are looking for a 'look' for your character I would suggest that you look through all the categories to see if the right picture for you is already there before submitting a new portrait. These guys work hard at what they do and you will find there are sometimes duplicate pics but in different categories.

at 13:01 | Re: Portrait SubmissionI suppose repeating the submission guidelines at length is sort of on-topic, but I do feel obliged to point out both that that part was merely concern for another user whose portrait had seemingly repeatedly gone missing despite following all guidelines previously repeated above, and that my actual question, concerning my ready-formatted, always non-previously-available portraits, remains unanswered.
I would appreciate it if non-mods would not push it upthread further (especially seeing as that was how my last query was derailed and lost), please.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you what happens to those submissions that I'm certain are sent out, but which we simply don't receive. Something in the email forwarding, maybe, is all I can think of. As described earlier in this thread, I've personally kept a watchful eye out for certain submissions that have just never materialized either in the inbox or the spam folders. The data we have to go by shows that's very rare, but apparently it does happen. I can see your latest submission, for instance, and confirm both that it's there and that I have absolutely gotten others from you, before, which I have passed along for upload, but we've never successfully gotten one from the other user you specifically mentioned.
As for tags, I understand the interest, but I can't really give you a firm answer, myself, since I don't handle that part. I think that tags have been mostly abandoned at this point because only a vanishing minority of people actually searched the galleries using that method, but I won't put words in anyone else's mouth, so don't hold me to that. There may have been some discussion of that somewhere back in this thread.
