Hey there Zhexos! I wanted to do it here as to not clog up on the official thread. I'm having a bit of an issue where it will not let me edit my post in the official forum, and my first post forgot just one tiny piece of information ^^;; I replied with that information (the name of the estate), but I want to be sure that I'm good to go.

Heyo~ Quick question: Does the NA/EU divide in threads refer to the servers the estates are on, or the accounts of the players?

Now is it a MAX of 6 pictures, or is it at LEAST 6 pictures?

The contest states one entry per category, does that mean you could enter potentially a large FC house, a medium personal house and an apartment?

That's because the contest threat is one shot and done. It cannot be edited there intentionally. So we use this threat to make sure our entry looks right before putting it there.

Ambiguous Armaments
Adamantoise – Shirogane – Ward 6, Plot 15
Please Check Kugane's legal requirements before buying. I am not responsible for your execution should you be arrested by the Sekiseigumi.

Does the use of popular housing glitches disqualify entries? Like lofts, windows on partitions, etc.

Besides msumisu question, can we have more than one entry in diferent categories? e.g: medium and apartment.

Greetings,

Have updated your entry with the estate name, so you're good to go.

The entry threads are locked from editing so entrants can't change their entries at a later time, which can affect the contest (especially if the screenshots are changed). We ask everyone to try and use this practice thread to test your entry beforehand. Thanks :)

It's by their account region.

You're correct, it's per category.

I read it to mean a Minimum of 6, am I disqualified because I already had posted more than this in the medium thread before this clarification was made?

Sounds like it's exactly 6 pictures.
But I would also like clarification.

Shoot -- is there a way to change the picture size? I went through the steps of uploading pics from my PS4 but they're small. I thought they're just previewing this size and would appear bigger on the actual post. I made this mistake of thinking this on the actual submission forum; is there a way to get that post deleted so that I can try again with the correct size pictures? :(

Are the images not showing up correctly or something? I used the [IMG] and [/IMG] thing around the links and they didn't appear in the thread when I posted it. And it seems like it happened to a bunch of others. Yet some people's showed up?

for some reason all my pics only showed up as url links so i guess im screwed

Make sure you are posting in the correct thread.

I just submitted an entry in the private chambers / apartments thread and noticed some ppl posting pics of single floors within houses. In that case you'd need to post your screenshots in the appropriate house thread and include all floors, but you could devote more of your allotment (six screenshots) to the floor you want to showcase. It'd be shame to get your entry disqualified for posting in the wrong thread.

Have corrected it for you.

Have gone through some of the entries and corrected those that had used wrong image tags and/or resubmitted with missing information.

We ask everyone to please review and follow this guide to uploading images to the Lodestone and posting the image on the forum.
Make sure to have the image URL that ends in ".jpg" or ".png" inside a IMG tags, and not the URL tags. Thank you!

Before posting in the actual entry thread, make sure to give it a try in this thread. :)

I guess I should have realized the preview was not working for a reason . Would you be able to remove the posts I reported for myself? Thanks --

To those having trouble uploading images and failing (like I did) please use this tutorial. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/347541

Prize Request:
Gaelicap

Auto-correct got me when I was making my Large Plot submission.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post4734440

My "Prize Request" was also going to be for the "Gaelicap", but I didn't notice that auto-correct changed it to "Gaelic" before I submitted.

Should I resubmit the entire post or can a moderator adjust it?

I'm pretty sure I did it correctly following the guide and yet they didn't show up.
