how did you get your photo to embed like that? I hope they don't disqualify me for that ; ;

[VoiceMemo]

you click the insert image button, and then put the url of the image. IE you have to upload the image online somewhere that is web accessible

Try copy/pasting the BBCode from your image host site to embed instead of the insert image button.

Greetings everyone!

If you're having trouble posting an image on the forum, make sure you put in the full URL with the image file extension, such as .jpg or .png.

On the image upload website, once you upload the image try right clicking your image and select the "Copy image link" option (menu name will vary depending on your browser).

The end result before you submit should look something similar to this but with the actual image upload site's URL:

|IMG|https://imageuploadsite/image.jpg|IMG|
The actual code will have left/right square brackets for the IMG tags.

Hope that helps!

Hi Zhexos - I changed my mind on the prize I wanted, is it possible to delete my first entry so that I can resubmit it? Thank you!

Hey Farshaw, which prize did you want to change it to? Let me know and I'll see if I can switch it up!

@Othnias
Looks like you're trying to share image from your drive or private discord channel. Can you try uploading the image to image upload website, such as imgur.com and share the link here?

@Raayne
Looks like the image site you're trying to share isn't working properly. Same as above, if you could try re-uploading the image to image upload website, such as imgur.com and share the link here and I'll see if I can update your submission.

[Farshaw]

Hey Zhexos! Hope I'm not too late but I was hoping to change it to the Well if that's possible, if not the Pepo Lantern is fine - thanks for getting back to me!

Did these prizes go out yet? I submitted an entry on Twitter, which didn't appear to have anywhere near 250 English entries.

Not yet, we're preparing the prize delivery soon and will let you know!

[Zhexos]

Hey everyone,

We have an update regarding prize delivery for the Pumpkin Hunt Screenshot Campaign.
While we're trying to expedite delivery as much as possible, we're currently looking at delivery process to take place late December.

We apologize for the delay but would appreciate if you could hang tight, just a bit longer!

[Immortal]

Im just surprised someone has access to reply to NA side posters, who is this mystery person!? Can the DEV get our feedback somehow? lol

[Safie]

Hello~ Firstly thank you for all your hard work in helping us to post our entires, I saved a previous post of yours about tips/help from a few pages back on images. I ended up doing my entry on Twitter for the pumpkin contest, even though I don't use that platform much if any it did give me an idea.

FFXI Twitter account would post clues on NM's asking players to try and figure out who that NM is as teaser posts.
This is just an idea for you and the team but!!! :) . what if you guys all got together made a longer list maybe 11 or so things clues, hints, photos be it items or places past or present leading us up to FFXI 20th anniversary slowly release what you and the team come up with as tasks for the community to celebrate this game we all love!
Could make the last couple entries tougher and tougher for us to figure out and have some amazing prizes to match for it! Even if it means rewards get sent out months later it would be fun to see what you guys could come up with for us and for us to figure out what you have in store for a FFXI scavenger hunt for us. Like what do you want the community to do or see or learn about etc could be really fun for all of us.
