How do you create the preview images on the homepage?

Now, I'm sorry if I've missed something obvious on how to do this, but is there any way to submit your own larger images to be used if your game / toon gets featured on the homepage? A couple of mine are on Toongum now without any preview image and I can't find any way to put them on, as it's obviously not the same as the smaller avatar image you see everywhere else... Is it possible?

Actually you haven't missed anything.  The images from the homepage are created by the staff when they decide a new featured game.  In the future we may decide to allow users to upload their own in-game screenshots, but there would be some definite complications with that so for now we are keeping it simple.

So what goes on the frontpage is all your choosing...

So will the 'staff' search through our submissions and pick the screenshots for us?

Yes, the front page is our choosing and the staff picks the screenshots.  This is really the only way to ensure the right selection, and the screenshots obviously cannot be auto-generated.



The "Featured" area is the only staff selected area of the home page though.  Classics and the Tracker are both done through code.
