I recently noticed that my empire had a logo that was certainly not the one I had uploaded so I removed what was there and tried to upload my original logo. I couldn't get the upload to work although at least the offending logo was removed.
Could we get Bara to take a look and hopefully fix this so that I could upload a logo of my own choice?
I got no response to this in the Metaverse so I've moved it to the Forum issues forum.
Bara?
Unfortunately I am not longer on the web team at Stardock. I have moved over to the games team working on some super secret special projects (not really ). I'll pass this along to the right people though
Bara
Could you please illustrate via a screen capture which logo you are referring to?
Wow, sorry to hear that. Thanks for all you've done to keep the forum pages turning.
Good luck at your new assignment.
I didn't figure this out until after I went ahead and generated the screenshots so I'll post them anyway. But apparently we lost JPG support and so all the empires that had originally downloaded a JPG are messed up. The empires that downloaded PNG's are OK.
There still are a number of empire's logo's that are affected by this so at the least you should probably remove the text indicating that JPG's are acceptable but I think it would be good if you could get JPG's to work again.
[edit] Actually it appears the problem is deeper than I originally thought. I posted two JPG screen shots as that is the only format supported by the Image hosting site that I use. Actually *all* of the image hosting sites I use only supply JPG format and so I'm unable to post a screenshot because you no longer seem to support JPG's in a post.
The following are the links to the above images.

Test again
I'm posting from another site (forums.stardock.com). Let's see if there's any difference.
Hmm ... it seems to be working. I guess it's just the Galciv2 site that no longer supports JPG"s.
Try again.
Did you do something because it seems to be fixed now?
So, it's working for you now? I didn't do anything, but I'm happy to back away slowly with my hands up if it's working now.
Hello, old friend.
Let me give it one more test.
Yeah it seems to be working now.
You're right about not wanting to have to touch the Metaverse sever if you don't have to but I thought that the Galciv2 site itself had been fully modernized. How the site could suddenly stop being able to handle JPG's and then just as suddenly have no problem with them seems to be a problem in and of itself but then I suppose it's pretty hard to debug something you can't replicate.
Oh well I guess we'll just have to wait until it happens again.
Mumbles....there is always the possibility the problem was on 'your end'. The only 2 images not showing [from WC] on this thread are the first 2 in #5.
All the others show...
The first two are page links, not direct links to the images.
The links not showing are in reply number 6 *prior* to the links. I didn't at first know they wouldn't show, only after I saw the results did I add the text and links following the [edit] tag. As a moderator you might be able to still see the broken links. I know I can if I go in and try to edit that reply.
Yes. They are image tags, but the src is set to a page, not an image:
Thus nothing appears.
So my point of either removing the wording that suggests JPG's can be uploaded as empire logo's or fixing it so that JPG's can be uploaded as empire logo's, is still valid.
Actually you can see the issue with The Jedi Republic http://metaverse.galciv2.com/index.aspx?g=empire&id=26.
Also while if someone goes into the metaverse area, check out the "More" command on either the Top Character or Top Empire lists and you'll see that the icons at the bottom of the page that allow you to scroll through the list are messed up and it's not clear where you're going.
Could that get fixed as well?
Mumbles...hence my comment about it being a problem on your end, as you now see it was...
Hopefully the appropriate coding monkeys can resolve the remaining issue/s ...
I would agree with you if Jafo wasn't right about it so damn often.
Still no movement on the Empire JPG logo issue or the scroll buttons at the bottom of the Top Characters and Top Empires screens.
Here's a screenshot of the scroll button issue, the logo issue is well documented in the screenshots above.
Bump.
Empire logo JPG's and scroll buttons still not working.
Still not working ....
