File Uploads

[Earendil]

Is there a reason file uploads are disabled?  I made some simple line art renditions of the symbols for allomantic metals a while ago, and was going to add them to the wiki.  Since file uploads are turned off, I can't do that :'(.

I'm honestly not sure. You could upload them to various image hosting sites (imageshack or photobucket) and link them that way.

Not sure if that helps. The terminology lost me fairly quickly but it sounds like you can upload stuff if you change something on the back-end? Maybe?

[Beligaronia he/him]

We can't use external images unless they're enabled. (Though we can of course link to them) See here:

@Chaos: Do you have access to the server/php/whatever you need to make these changes or do I need to consult with KChan or Ryan?

PS While this would be nice and would make us look all professional and awesome we can probably do without it for a while.

Okay. I changed it, and it should work now. Theoretically.

Let me know!

[Beligaronia he/him]

Works like a charm. YAY!

Thanks!  I've uploaded what I have as png images -- turns out I never got around to making Tin, Atium or Lerasium (guess I have a project for this weekend ).  If we can get permission to use actual artwork, that would be awesome, but these are at least a fair-use placeholder.

Awww... I was planning to make those...

There's also icons like those on the Mistborn RP. Not that that makes a difference now
