I'm having trouble with this article in that I can't upload an image into the "My Fursona" section. When I upload it, there is no image, just a red link. Can anyone help me? --Xaerun 08:51, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

What you first need to do is to find the link that says Upload image/file in the left-hand sidebar, below the search box. Click that link (or the one I've provided here, and you'll be taken to a page where you can upload the image file.

From there, go back to your article and add [[Image:Mypicture.ext]] or whatever the name is for your image file. You can also use [[Image:Mypicture.ext|thumb|right|caption text]] to make a thumbnail, put it on the right hand side, and add a caption.

This is just a basic explanation; there are more things you can do with an image once it's been put on the wiki, but this should be enough to get you started. -- Siege^(talk) 18:09, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah, thank you. It's working now. --Xaerun 00:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
