I wonder what part of the instructions people are getting confused at? I thought it was quite clear It does make it a bit annoying to scroll through!

Also, unfortunately I think that the image hosting a lot of people used had an expiration date for those pics, since a lot of the images are now broken that were definitely working before

Bumping this because I think people can make good use of it!

I'm debating waiting until the 16th to post my combo? I'm not sure I buy this who "no, the first people won't get more votes." I feel like the combos in the middle pages will get less votes because very few people are going to click through all of the pages to vote.

Does anyone have thoughts?

I didn't pay attention to the last one, but did they announce the winners? Were there more winners from the beginning and end pages?

Also, does anyone remember the total number of submissions in the last contest?

There were around 3-4 pages in the last coat combo contest. I don't recall the number of replies, although some would have been the results, and correction posts by admin. This edition is up to more pages and replies, but I haven't counted the actual number of entries.

No matter what, there are going to be entries in middle pages. Players who enjoy looking at different combos and really appreciate the spirit of the contest will look at each page and entry, although I know there's no guarantee those players will be in the majority voting.

Looking at current votes isn't terribly accurate, as some players may wait until after the entries close to vote. I'm waiting until that point so I can just go through all at once, and it makes it easier to keep track which I voted on already. Classic makes it easy to see that, but mobile does not.

Well thank you to CowboyCrazyGirl for the video - I used Postimage as suggested in the instructions from AmOwzing but things didn't come up the way presented, and also still had to tweak a little from the video but, an hour or so later, finally got things to work out.

As for the voting, with all due respect, if voting is supposed to start on the 17th, when entries close, but voting that is done before that time is counted, it seems the earlier entries, having more days and, therefore, more opportunities to be voted on, would have a SLIGHT advantage.... still this is all in good fun and looking forward to what everyone comes up with.

Ones in middle might get less votes but last time the one after mine won. I wish i could move mine a bit over to the left the silver ga. I just figure except for the mazes she will fly without wings.

@ AmOwzing
Sooo I just noticed/ realized that I didn’t include the artist names in my entry… mine is on the 1st page and the artists names are:
GA by: PrinceFri
Ray by: Nikolaos Hag
If you’re able to add them for me it would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you so much for helping all of us and editing everything for us!! Idk what we’d do without you!!!???

Hello,

I have added the author names to your entry.

I tried to post mine like the others but it was working on how to post it correctly only to figure out a way I did it was wrong cause I accidently passed the instructions. so sorry guys

Hello,

Can you please post the picture on this topic? I can add it to your participation message on the other topic and then uncensor your message.

A bit late to the party but I just sent my submission <

Oops I meant to use this emoji

How do I resize the image? When I do a test post to my EC forum, it looks good, but when I post that same image to the event post, it's too big, and you need to scroll over to see the whole image (which ruins the whole effect). What am I doing wrong?

I tried to post my imagine again, on the contest page but it wasnt working. I looked at my previous post and it was taken away. I am sorry but this is totally unfair when the site isnt user friendly on how to post things.

completely unfair that some people can enter things like this and others cant.

It looks like you didn't post a screenshot of the horse.

You have to take a screenshot to get the horse and background downloaded on your device. Then upload that image to an image hosting website such as postimages. Then get the png link to the image the site gives you, and you can use the little image shortcut tool just above the Howrse forum text box to paste the link, and it will put the link in the tags for you.

You can hit the preview button before posting to be sure your image link works.

If that doesn't work, please let us know what isn't working (getting the screenshot, the image link, etc)

You can test your image in the events forum (or try this topic first), by clicking the "preview" button under the textbox.

Depending on the image host site you use, it lets you select the size option when you choose your image to upload.

I posted my combination perfectly, but the link to the picture expired. I tried to fix it, but it won't let me post again. Can you take down my post so it resets?

Howrse likely has nothing to do with it. Hosting services often delete images themselves after a while, and the site simply has nothing left to display.

Anyone have any idea how to post that as an image? I was trying to avoid the auto delete the regular image hosting sites have now but the image thing isn't liking dA even though it used to allow me to post images from there.

I'm not seeing a direct image (png) link there, but I'm not familiar with deviant art to know where to look.

For anyone using PostImages, just click the drop when you're uploading the image, and select a new "remove after [x time]".

I can't remember what the default is, but I chose 2 months for the last image I uploaded

Hello,

Can you please post a new image here? I can then edit your participation message on the other topic so that the image shows there.


Not sure if that's possible, but I'm posting here the tutorial about posting images on forums:


If you still have doubts after reading it, please let us know.

For those of you who need a good photo hosting site - I use: imgbb.com
I personally love it, it’s simple to use and understand. I’ve never had any problems with expiring images or anything. (Knock on wood)
Just thought I’d share…

Question what happens if you mess it up! Cause yeah I messed up! I cant edit or delete what I posted? id there a way to do that!! besides the image being a tad small, not that big of a deal, BUT my major mess up was accidentally putting the name of the golden apple coat where I should have up the author ?

yeah I still dont get it. I truly never understood why its difficult to post on this game. its like anything you post needs like a code or something. I used to know how to link images to my profile page but after a while the way to do it fades. I have given up on trying to post for the contest. I am not as mad anymore. but I am still very disappointed. all the tips people have said do nothing for me. It doesnt explain it, to someone who isnt a total computer nerd on these things. PNG files dont work. nothing links to anything and its so frustrating. Also no admin has reached out to help in anyway which is sad. I even tried to contact the game and all I got in response was a fake apology.
