Theros Cards. Images not linking.

So the user updated images aren't linking up, yeaGO! or Epochalyptik. I have tried going back and looking through the coding to see if something is missing somewhere. The only one that shows the image is Master of Waves , and I don't see anything in that one that is any different than any of the other images. So what causes the image not to post after the card has been approved?

I'm just wondering if it's an input problem, because I inputted the image for Master of Waves and I'm wondering if it's a difference between PNG image files or JPG JPEG image files.

Okay, Dritz, I'm pretty sure this is the issue, and you are doing the same thing I did. You are using the simple Paint program to crop the cards, which is great, I do the same thing. But here's the issue, when you save the file to upload it, you need to save it as a JPEG or JPG file because the site isn't recognizing the PNG file format. I checked it against the one image that is working, Master of Waves , and it's a JPG file.
So I have fixed Erebos, God of the Dead and approved it, so we will see if it begins to work shortly.

So we just need to go through the cards and click on the "fix" link and check to make sure they are JPEG or JPG images, I just did Heliod, God of the Sun as well

Yeah, all the cards I have been adding have been JPEG.

Okay, well crap. I thought that might have been it. Back to the old drawing board.

I can comfortably say I don't think that is the problem. Its taken upwards of six days for some images I've uploaded to appear before, not to mention that there are a variety of cards that I just checked that are displaying images properly which still show me as the uploader and .png as my uploaded file type. I mean, unless the site has recently developed some sort of incompatibility I feel like it is just a matter of time. It is possible that I am wrong though, I suppose. (ShadowLand)

Dritz, I thought I was onto something there. Guess not, lol. Just trying to rule out anything we might be doing wrong. But it seems as though it might just be a waiting game. It just doesn't seem to have any reason or rhyme for what images it loads. I loaded Heliod, God of the Sun way before Master of Waves , and yet that image shows up first. Dunno. Its puzzling.

Yeah, I don't know, I've often wondered why it takes so long for images to appear. For instance, I uploaded three corrected Lightning Helix images before we were able to add Theros images. Two have shown up (Duel Decks and Planechase) but the Modern Masters one is still AWOL . haha We shall see, I suppose.

Haha, well played. I think it has something to do with how the server resets, Still trying to get answers on any of this though. Apoptosis, are you involved in this process at all or know anything about it?

ShadowLand, I appreciate the thought but when it comes to these things I am just one of the masses:

Give it time. That's all it took for M14 images to show up.
