Mod post - entering challenges
Hello everyone,
This is a post about how to enter challenges. Recently, some people have not followed the rules and because I understand that everyone has to start somewhere in icon challenge land, I'll outline the posting format for you, hoping this will make it clearer for you and easier for me.
Even if you've never had problems entering, I'd like it if you could take a minute to read this. Thanks in advance.
→ The rules for every challenge are always posted, check them before entering.
→ Any icon entered in this community has to be no bigger than 40kb in .jpg, .png or .gif format. Please check this before entering your icon!
→ When entering your icons, make sure that both the icon and its url/direct link are visible, like so:

! Look at this picture to see what the exact code of entering an icon looks like! !
If you use a Photobucket: please use the direct link option rather than any other option. This is the only link option that leads me, the moderator, directly to the image and saves me a lot of extra mouse clicks when I'm checking if your icons meets the rules.
→ If you're entering more than one icon, please post like this:

! Look at this picture to see what the exact code of entering several icons looks like! !
Please do not post each icon and its url separately, as again, that takes up more time collecting all your icons and putting them into voting format.
→ If you have any questions, it's always best to ask. That way, you don't run the risk of your icon being disqualified later. I don't want to disqualify icons because they don't fit the rules, but I try to make this as fair a contest as it can possibly be. I hope you understand that.
I hope you will me help me out by reading this and sticking to the posting format I've outlined. It makes my job considerably easier and saves you from getting annoying messages from me.
Thanks guys! I love this community and you guys rock, I hope we'll keep up the creativity and the great atmosphere.
