Title: Cart style guide question
Post by: klanksmash on July 15, 2015, 03:06:14 pm
I uploaded a few cart pictures and they were rejected. I was not sure why though. There is not really any info in the style guide so I thought I would ask here. Here are the 2 I was trying to add. I know down the road you are hoping to have large image view available and if I was looking this is the type of thing I would hope to see.

I didn't reject these, but um, those pictures are pretty long. All you need is the picture of the cart. You don't need to add the back or the board. ^^;

I can put up a picture of just the cart front if that is the only part you want. There are just a lot of fakes out there so sometimes it is nice to have pictures of the back and board. I know there is not a huge market for these 2 games but still seems like a nice resource to have.

I rejected the edits, but forgot to send you a PM explanation so I apologize for that.  :-[
 
We only need a scan/image of the front of the cart.  While the rest of the images are useful for verifying whether a cart is legit or not, that is not really the purpose of the database and is not the way that the rest of the entries are formatted.

Alright, no problem. I'll just submit the front of the carts from now on. Thanks for the info.

I will note that perhaps this could be a feature request for future use, the ability to add additional pictures and choose what type of picture it is.
