Personal images
I'm afraid to say that Memory Alpha does not permit the uploading of personal images onto the database. All uploaded images should be for and directly related to improving the encyclopedia. As such, the image has been brought up for deletion. Normally, the images would be deleted immediately, but we've found that to be a bit harsh, so we've decided to give people a heads up first. See Memory Alpha:Image use policy for more details. That said, however, you can still host the image from another site, such as ImageShack or PhotoBucket. All you need to do is upload the image there and then insert the link into your user page. Hope that helps! :) --From Andoria with Love 03:40, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you Shran. Hosting is not the problem. I have not been able to find the coding to display an off-site image. I'm sure it's a simple thing but both the image buttons in the editor lead to the image upload dialogue. Help:Image markup page doesn't explicitly give the syntax for linking to off site images and none of the permutations I've tried work. I also don't know how to delete the file I uploaded....Help me Obi Wan Kenobi!--Great Bear 18:27, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Uploaded files (and, indeed, anything else) on Memory Alpha can only be deleted by administrators, so you don't need to worry about that; we will take care of it. As for the coding for off-site images, all you do is upload an image to one of those sites listed above. After it's uploaded, that site will take you to a page with a variety of HRTL links for different purposes. The link you want is the direct link to the image. Simply copy that link and paste it into the page, like so:

 * Again, hope that helps. If you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask (although it may take me a while to answer, since I have to leave for class, so you may wish to ask another administrator). See ya! :) --From Andoria with Love 20:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay so it's that simple - just paste in the url. Thanks Shran.
