So how long does it take? I submitted a picture for Prototype 2 radnet edition about a week ago, and nothing has been done yet. I don't see why a game with no picture at all isn't just allowed to add the picture instantly.

That is weird, it usually only takes a couple days. Maybe there was a problem with the picture.
Also, welcome to the site!

I handled the submission. I rejected the picture - I don't remember why exactly since it was, well, a week ago. Sorry about that. I usually replace pictures myself when something is wrong with them but this one must've slipped my mind.

Many of the games in the database have no images because I remove cover art that has watermarks, is too small, too grainy, is the wrong region, etc. Users submit the wrong images and I delete / reject them. We prefer to have some sort of level of accuracy instead of just having an image there. ;) I tend to send PMs to folks about this to explain why since we don't have any sort of notification system in place at the moment. But again, it slipped my mind.
I've added cover artwork and other info to the entry.

I havent had any submissions approved in the past couple of days.

What did you submit? I cleared the backlog over the past two days. The only stuff that's on the queue right now is a trio of hardware corrections but since I don't quite get how those work (my experience is with games, not hardware) I leave 'em alone.

Thanks!

I added a pic for http://vgcollect.com/item/41097 and for http://vgcollect.com/item/28822

I definitely didn't see any pictures for those two items in the queue while I was clearing it out.
Please resubmit them. The queue's basically empty right now so I should be able to approve them right away.
-
Sorry, I've been ridiculously busy this whole week and haven't really been near the PC much at all.
Thanks for going through those submissions, Foxhack.
-
Both re-submitted.
-
Uh ... you sure?
Nothing is showing up in the queue! And I checked the entries so nobody has approved them either... Could you please attach the pictures to a reply here? Or say where you got them from (a website, etc.)
I'm guessing the server isn't accepting those photos for some reason. I've had issues at some sites where JPG images use a funky compression scheme that messes up stuff when server software tries to resize or rescale them.
-
It could be cause of my new OS not supporting the pics the way my old one did.
No big deal ... here are the pic links : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/Namco-Jogcon.jpg

Okay, I just uploaded the Jogcon image and it shows up in the queue, so something is definitely up with your computer.
What OS are you using, and what browser?
-
I switched to Linux cause of my recent hard drive crash. It downloads the pics to my computer but doesnt seem to allow anything to use them after unlike my old OS.
-
... what.
I have little experience with Linux (I only used it to get a butt penguin on TF2) so I can't help you there. Sorry. :(
-
http://vgcollect.com/item/41097 still has no pic :(
-
There, you happy? :P
I wanted to see if we could figure out how to get image uploads working for you first.
-
I was just mentioning it cause you said you uploaded it. :o
I dont know what its going to take for me to be able to add pics now. :(
-

I've got the butt penguin too! TF2 is actually running really good in Ubuntu for me.
-
Now I seem to be having the same issue. I've tried updating a few things since yesterday with no success.
Thanks!
-
Perhaps this would be a good thread to point out an issue with an image ;) I think this one got stuck: http://vgcollect.com/item/38318. I'm quite certain I submitted an image when I added the entry which was on January 25th. Therefore, there wouldn't have been an approval process since images often appear right away on new entries. However, I did notice after I submitted that it wasn't there so then I was uncertain if I really did submit, so I submitted it again. Then I waited and waited, and never said anything ::)
-
I went though and cleared out the submission queue today before I went to work.
-
http://vgcollect.com/item/28822 and http://vgcollect.com/item/41260 have had pics submitted by me just now. Let me know if it worked.
-
@SOERA -
IIRC - wasn't one of the "system improvements" adding a setting to ignore *Everything* (by default) that was submitted by some wise-ass named Soera?!
:o

I bet thats it. I feel so unimportant. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

It didn't. What the heck is wrong with your OS?! :|
-
I really dont know cause it always gives me the message that its uploaded. How annoying this is. :-\
-
Soera, when you upload them are they tagged .jpg or .jpeg? I ran into this with my mac back in the days of uploading a ton of images. For some reason they would all upload upside down. If the pic's extentions are all .jpg, try changing them to .jpeg. It worked for me.
-

What type of files are they? Can you link us to the source?
-
Im trying it the way Ive always done it. I would save the pic to my computer then when the browse button comes up, I would just click on the pic in my computer. Its always worked before but I changed my OS and it hasnt worked since.
-
I just tried to upload them again.
If it doesnt work, can I just find someone to add the pics for me? I wish I could do it myself.

I'll see what I can do when I get back from my daily errands.

It's the .jpg vs .jpeg issue. I just DLed the pics. I'll update them for you guys.
Soera, in the future, make sure the images are .jpeg, not .jpg. You can add the "e" to a .jpg file extension without messing it up. That's all you have to do to make it work.
EDIT: Done.
