[IMPORTANT] Uploading Correctly in the Showroom

In order to make the work of the Showroom Moderators and Administrators a bit easier, I have created the following tutorial on how to upload to the showroom correctly. We would greatly appreciate it if you [b]please watch this video tutorial[/b] it and refamiliarise yourself on the [b]correct way to upload to the showroom[/b] (particularly in regard to [i]additional images[/i]*).

This video has also been embedded on the uploading page for your convenience. I have also attached an extract from a Showroom Insider article (Issue #54) in the first comment for a text and image based tutorial experience.

In the past, some of you may have recieved this message from me in the past as a notification of a [i]duplicate showroom entry**[/i]:

[quote]Hi [username], in future please use the "Add additional views [+]" option located underneath the picture of your upload to add additional view to your Showroom Entry, instead of uploading multiple images of the same car to the Showroom. Don't worry it's an honest mistake, I made it too with my first days on the site.[/quote]

This message would be sent to your entry's comments and your profile shoutbox in past, however that has proved to be very time consuming for me and the other Showroom Moderators to deliver. Along with that we have to go and delete each duplicate entry to tidy up the showroom. This is an issue that has been cropping up in the Showroom, particularly in the Need for Speed WORLD Showroom.

I'm probably coming off to everyone as they cranky Administrator from what I've said in this post, but this is an issue relating to making the site as user-friendly as possible to both the uploaders and the viewers of entries; the absensce of duplicate entries will make it easier for users to navigate the showroom. On that topic, if you have any comments or suggestions on how to improve the showroom, please post them in our [url=http://forum.nfsunlimited.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=20098]Site Revamp/Improvents - Feedback, Suggestions, Ideas, etc.[/url] forum topic.


Thank you.

*Additional images - additional screenshots/views/images of the same car uploaded to provided a greater view of the features of the entry.

**Duplicate showroom entry - where additional screenshots/views/images of the same car are uploaded as seperate entries into the showroom instead of as 'additional views' on the first entry.
