Use the form below to upload files. To view or search previously uploaded files go to the list of uploaded files, (re)uploads are also logged in the upload log, deletions in the deletion log.
To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:
-
[[File:File.jpg]]to use the full version of the file -
[[File:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]]to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with 'alt text' as description -
[[Media:File.ogg]]for directly linking to the file without displaying the file
NOTE: Keep uploaded files under 5-10MB in size! Also, PLEASE avoid uploading .PNG files into the PDB because those tend to be too large for the system to handle!
The upload system can and WILL break if image files are too large!
That said, if you upload a file and it breaks (it doesn't display an image preview), just let one of us mods know so we can go fix it up. In the meantime, upload the image again under a different filename, but do so after shrinking it down in size via GIMP or Irfanview or something like Pixlr.
Please ensure uploaded files are linked to a page. Unlinked files will eventually be removed to ensure site stability.
