| − | : You have not confirmed your email address. Go to your Preferences page (see link at top right of page). Toward the bottom of the User Profile page is an "Email Options" section. There should be a link to either (re-)confirm you email address or allow you to change it. The system sends you an email to that address as asks you click a link. Because of this it may end up in a spam folder. Once you do this you should have access to the Upload Files. And this turns off some of the CAPTCHA requests for making changes to the articles. | + | : You have not confirmed your email address. Go to your Preferences page (see link at top right of page).

I've found that pictures between 200 and 300 pixels wide works best for the infoboxes. You can go up to 400px wide for other pictures in the articles. But too much larger and they dominate the whole article. Smaller is OK if they don't have much detail. | I've found that pictures between 200 and 300 pixels wide works best for the infoboxes.

NOTE: There is a 2MB upload limit on files (images and PDFs). This is a limit underlying the whole system and can not be changed. If you find you want to upload a larger image/PDF please let me know. | NOTE: There is a 2MB upload limit on files (images and PDFs).
