Can someone please fix the image on the Vault 12 page? I don't know why its not showing......

I told you there's trouble with large images. That image looks huge, like full-screen. I'm not sure how we got the bases images to load right (they are huge too) but just avoid large images. Kilgore does not want this wiki to be an image server. Try referencing a small image as a test, and i bet it displays fine. Also, loading that image appears to be an effort to document where a sub-location is. That's a worthy task - i've thought about this a lot. Let's talk about how best to do that, since most of the remaining 180 "wanted pages" are sub-locations like bars and shops. I'm planning to build a template called "Shop", with an image control that forces whatever image we use into a standard (small) size. That still doesn't mean we should use large images - it would just mean when we cut an image down to size, we don't have to be super-exact about it. -Henry

Well what size do you think it would be appropriate for images? 800x600? 640x480? And what format? jpeg would be the most light weight, but they might be more pixelated. I've seen this new image format called ".webp" might be worth checking out.

My idea on this topic is to not have any large pics at all. If we look at this one as a "location spoiler", then we might go with a tiny image instead, and let the player figure it out. I'll load an image here and you can see what i mean... -H
