Read these directions before posting. It will save you some trouble. To be fair to other submitters, please do not submit more than 5-6 posts per day because this will knock other people’s posts off the front page before they have a chance to be seen by other people.
- If you’ve submitted the form and your post doesn’t show any images, check to make sure your images meet the requirements for the site, especially the size limit. You can resize your images using various programs. Cropping or using jpeg instead of png are two ways to do this. The form will not accept any pictures that contain the “TM” symbol in the name. Please rename them first. Also, one of the plugins I use blocks Mail.ru email addresses. I apologize for this, but I have no way to unblock it.
- Double-check the form before hitting the Submit button because you cannot make changes yourself after it has posted.
- Make sure you don’t use your mouse scroll wheel while clicked into a field because it may change your settings without your knowledge.
- If you need us to make corrections to your post, please send a message through the Contact Form or on the post comments with the corrections you would like.
- Please see the Terms if you have any questions about what is admissible.
- Your submission will post immediately. There is no review system prior to your post showing up on the site. If you don’t see your submission immediately after posting, there are several possible issues:
- You didn’t fill out all of the required fields. There will be an error message in red at the top of the form.
- You didn’t check the Captcha button. There will be an error message in red at the top of the form.
- Your image format is not recognized by the form. You may only submit images in jpg, jpeg, png, or gif format. Your images must have one of these valid extensions. The form WILL NOT give an error message for this.
- Your submission was marked as spam (rare). If none of the other issues are the problem, please use the comments on this form to contact me. A contact message would also be marked as spam because the plugin marks an IP address as a spammer and all additional submissions will be marked as spam.
Keep in mind the following when taking screenshots:
- Crop images before posting
- You can’t see armor details on uncropped images.
- If you don’t have a program for cropping images, there are free programs on the internet, like Fotor Photo Crop, you can use.
- First image = Thumbnail
- It will not display on the post itself.
- Use a picture that focuses on the character’s face.
- The rest of the images will post in the order listed on the form.
- One outfit per post
- The form is not set up to handle multiple outfits per post.
- Because the thumbnail image is so small, it is very difficult to show more than one set on it.
- People use the thumbnail to decide if they should click on your post to view more images. They won’t know there are multiple sets hiding in the post.
- Good lighting conditions
- No one can see how good your character looks if it is too dark.
- The best places for lighting are Tatooine (not the stronghold), Alderaan, and Makeb, but make sure you turn your character into the sun(s).
- Ilum is only good if you are trying to emphasize a glow on an item.
- Different angles
- Generally you will want a pic showing the full frontal body, full back body, full side body, and then close ups of the chest/head area.
- Make sure you zoom in as far as possible, but don’t clip off the feet in full shots.
- Maximum graphic settings
- Turn off your UI – By pressing ALT+Z
- Turn off nameplates – Under Preferences, Nameplates
- Credit for Images – Please remember that it is illegal in The United States to take pictures off of other websites without providing proper credit to the owner of that material. If you are going to submit images taken from a source other than the game, provide proper credit in the comments section so we don’t get take-down requests.
Character Submission Form
Your Information
Your Name
Optional, but please allow us to credit you for the submission. NOTE: This displays on the post as the Submitted by name and doesn’t have to be your real name. The easiest way for us to keep track of all your submissions is for you to use a consistent name on all your posts.
[Text field]
Your Contact Email
Optional, but allow us to contact you if we have questions about your submission. Your email will never be shared or used for anything other than to contact you about your submission.
[Text field]
Character Information
Character Name *
Required. This will show as the first half of your title post.
Please do not put descriptive words (titles like Darth, Agent, etc, are fine) or number your submissions in this field (the site will automatically add a number to your URL if you use the same name). Save this for the Comments field, which shows at the top of your post. The reason for this is is increases loading time on pages with a lot of posts and increases scrolling distance, which is especially bad on mobile devices.
[Text field]
Character Server *
Required. This will show as the second half of your post title.
[Dropdown saying “Please select your character’s server” with options Darth Malgus, Satele Shan, Star Forge, The Leviathan, Tulak Hord]

Images
Upload up to 15 images here. Each uploaded image can have a maximum file size of 5MB. Valid extensions are gif, jpg, jpeg, and png. Please crop your images before posting! You can use an online program, such as Fotor Photo Crop. NOTE: The images will show on the post in the order you upload them.
Thumbnail Image *
This image will be used as the post “Featured Image” or thumbnail, but will not be visible on the post itself. Please choose an image that shows a close up of the character’s face. Using a perfectly square image will yield the best results, eg. 150×150 px, because the site will center the image (both horizontally and vertically).
