After much time, the images return to the national news and sports forums - I hope that you people will quickly get used to this by now unknown sight once more!

First of all I would like to apologize for the time it took to get this going, but I feel that the way things have turned out are splendid and that, after a short period of getting used to it, you will get used to the new tools at your disposal.

So how essentially does it work?

When you click on your profile, you will notice an "Albums" function to the right, where you can create and view your albums - the image hosting function, but reloaded. If you are now jumping to create an album, please make it "Private - Only visible to contacts and moderators". For now everyone has a storage place of 100 images, but this will most likely be adjusted to be more soon enough.

The otherwise defunct "Monetary Affairs" subforum has been renamed to "Imaginary Affairs" and will soon host a tutorial on how to use this function, what to watch out for and, most importantly, how to include these pictures into your posts. As a rule of thumb, the tag [img2] will replace the normal
You must be registered for see images

Wow, so even loyal stooges like Wazi were pestering Xen? :eek: I noticed the [img2] tag a while ago, but wondered what it was for. So now we know. :)

Praise be to your boundless wit. :lol:

Guys, since Xen appointed me to seeing what images should be rejected and whatnot, a friendly announcement:

Check the sources in those pics you're uploading and if they let you use those pics to begin with. The whole point of the moderation thing is to avoid getting copyrighted images plastered all over the forum and thus potential legal trouble for our friend Xenumon who's paying for all this.

So, we cannot feature images from imageshack?

Can we be allowed to use images from photobucket and imageshack, please?

Sorry to be thick but I uploaded some new news graphics to my album about an hour ago (waiting for them to be moderated). Now they seem to have vanished. Have I done something wrong or have they been deleted for some reason?

I rejected those images because a part of them had been almost directly taken from , though with color changed from red to green, which unless i'm entirely mistaken constitutes a violation of copyright.

As theoretical as the chance of legal trouble coming to Xen for whatever may be on the site is, we don't want to take risks.

Hmm I see. I did make a point of changing the continents a little so the obvious UK landmass became more of a generic shape attached to mainland Europe. If I change the shape of the landmass even furthur would that be acceptable?

[edit] Never mind, I have redesigned them.
