Illustrated Stories

Postby Jason Toddman » Wed Sep 28, 2011 7:45 am

How about a forum kept separate from the other story boards for stories with attachments for illustrations? One that won't get archived and therefore won't lose all my pictures every time archiving time comes around?
I know I am virtually the only writer here that includes pictures with his stories (those that xtc supplied are ones I drew so that doesn't really count) and so nobody else would be likey to make much use of this, but it IS vastly discouraging to see so much of my artistic output simply wiped out like that. The way things are now are NOT illustrated-story friendly! :annoy:

If I reposted the pics in the archived section, I presume they'd be safe. Or would they?
If we continued Watch the Birdie in the archive section, I presume that would be OK.
It does, however put the tin hat on future collaborations unless we just post links to DA.

You can continue the stories in the archive and reupload photos.

I don't know why they get deleted when we simply move the topics.

As long as I breathe
I'll call you my home

I just tried reuploading the first pic. I still "Don't have permission" to see/download it.
Jason suggets we re submit in the current section. I'd go with that as we're only part way through. Unless you'd be prepared to move it back.

No, you can't. I tried that last time you did an archive and got you to move a story I was working on at thetime back to the new Fictional section. That's why I made the suggestion for a new forum this time. Anything that gets archived won't show attachments nor emoticons.

??? You did?
Not that I can see!!!
I just tried inserting a new pic in the archived fictional section. It appears in previews all right, but when I submit the post I just get the same message (highlighted in pink) about authorizations as before and NO picture! Bummer. :annoy:

YAY!! It works. Pity I've just completed the re-post.
Never mind: onwards and upwards!
