We can do either. If you want to resubmit as just one, then that way you'll know which one got in for sure, without having to look, and can just go down the list each round.
In reply to donsr (msg # 463):
No, we don't do gallery purges; we just occasionally remove duplicates if they're found. I'm not aware of any having been removed recently, but there have been occasional glitches or problems in the past with some portraits becoming temporarily unavailable or disappearing until they're fixed. Which one is it?

at 09:06 | Re: Portrait SubmissionSiiince this thread is looking active - may I quickly ask what the coming update will cover?
That is, September's update covered submissions from late 2020 (I think)-May 2021, which seemed to be one batch; will the update cover anything sent in in, say, August? October? Yesterday? Thanks.

That's more of a Warrax question, but: I know we've located a couple submissions that were apparently missed by the script or similar from prior updates, and those will be included in the next upload. I'm not sure about exact dates, but the general idea is to upload everything that hasn't yet been uploaded since the previous gallery update, whatever the cutoff for that is.
So ideally, it will be all submissions from then through the date of the upload, if that's feasible. It depends on when and how much jase is available, and he's perennially overworked as it is. (Not saying throwing a few bucks in the Ko-fi or Patreon will make it happen faster, but I'm sure he wouldn't hate it if you did.)
In reply to donsr (msg # 469):
I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with the movie to know exactly who you're talking about. :( If you can provide a portrait ID #, we can take a look and try to figure it out, though. If you've been using it for a long time, you may still have a character set with that portrait somewhere; if so, even if the portrait is blank, I think it should still give you the gallery ID underneath the frame. Check "Character Details" and look where the portrait is supposed to be for a code like "abc123." That tells us which one it is.

We can glance around and see if any portraits are glitched out or have been somehow mistakenly replaced, but the latter is unlikely. If you don't know for sure which one it was, we're limited in what we can do, but we can try and keep an eye out in case it turns up.
Again, though, no portraits have been simply deleted or gone missing as far as I know, which means if you do come up with that ID #, it might be really useful in telling us if something's wrong that we don't know about.

msh483 is a frowning tanned white man in Starfleet red with dark hair and a darker red collar on his uniform.
@Morgan: So in theory, everything in the bucket...that's hopeful. Thanks!

at 23:20 | Re: Portrait Submissionyou helped alot..i search though everything, and i saw that blank, and when you mentioned it and described it, i started to mess with it.
Like i said, it may be vanity, or sentiment, but i would have hated to lose that pic after all these years!
this may be something everyone could try if they have problems?...
thanks again!

at 02:58 | Re: Portrait SubmissionGlad it got fixed. That's actually a relief, since it sounds now like maybe it was a browser caching issue or something.
In reply to silverelf (msg # 473):
I have no idea, those were before my time, but you're right that they're identical. I'll make a note and we'll see about replacing it, thanks!

at 05:06 | Re: Portrait SubmissionHey, does anyone know where the list of portraits that was sent in for September of 2020 and posted up is? I was hoping to re-use the look but I haven't had any luck finding it anywhere, and I wanted to see if I could narrow it down by checking on the month I sent it in.
(Unless it just got rejected anyway, I don't know if you get notified if that happens)

at 20:54 | Re: Portrait SubmissionHey Warrax or Morgan,
I know you guys are still waiting for things outside of your control, but do you have any idea if - whenever an update goes through - it'll include EVERYTHING from the stuff that didn't make it into the last update (September of last year) to everything that's been submitted between then and <whatever date an update finally happens>?
I had submitted a portrait several months ago, and the game that it was for has already come and gone, rendering the submission moot (although hopefully someone else will find it useful down the road), and I find myself in the situation now of really -needing- to submit a portrait for a new game (because, as we all know, the ethnic options in the gallery don't cover all that much so it's hard to find something 'good enough'), but waffling over whether or not it's worth bothering/adding yet another portrait to the queue.
It's a decision that would be much easier to make if I knew that it would DEFINITELY get uploaded with the next update (because I'll play the odds that the next update happens sometime in the next 6-12 months, which is the general minimum lifespan I expect of a game), but if the portraits waiting to be uploaded are going to be parsed out into more than one update, and many, many, many months are passing between updates, the odds of the portrait making it in while I still need it become significantly lowered. =(
Any ideas? I know there were still leftovers sitting in the metaphorical pile back in September, and now there's presumably 8 months' worth of submissions put in between then and now (although I'm not sure how often people are sending in, at the moment) in addition to that, so I imagine there's quite a few waiting to go.
