"Pictures"? That sounds plural. Are you trying to upload multiple images? If so, how're you doing that? The uploader'll only take .png/gif/jpg files, IIRC, so if you're sending in a ZIP, it won't work.

I meant picture. It was only 1 image. tried several times with different images all the same error no matter what size they were.

Try attaching your image to this post. What browser are you using?

using IE. Here is one of the images. I might note I have almost no artistic talent, but still can be cute and funny.

I actually tried to get an account about two weeks ago, but used a hotmail account, so I never got it until two weeks later when I get a fun fun "We are deleting your sign-up." Now I'm not sure if the activations e-mails are on a diffrent server then the deletion e-mails, but I'm not sure how it would block it. so, i get another e-mail at a less stingy domain to hopefully rectify the problem..

How is it I can actually get the mail through without having to wait two weeks. This is prolly the second or third time I've had to do this, and it's a bit discerning.

Someone please help!

The e-mail's i'd like to send it to are either paradox_libra@yahoo.com or miragecalhoun@hotmail.com, and the username was epidelu....

I have removed the spam blocking on both of them.

I answer all the questions and read everything when I sign up for a web comic account but I don't see a THING about a password. And when I go to log in I can't because I don't know what my password is.

I feel very alone here.

Try removing the space in the name and see if it works then. If it still doesn't work, PM me and I'll try to sign up for you. That should work if nothing else does.

[EDIT] MekkiMok3, go here to request a new password. You should have gotten one in an email, but whatever. [/EDIT]

I don't see the issue. Try renaming it to 20050501.jpg and signing up again. Note that you are supposed to include the copyright info on the image.

Copywrite was on the other image. Tried it again without the space and its still a no go.

you don't create a password on keenspace, they create it for you. once you get the submission e-mail confirmation through, it can take up two one or two weeks to process your request and give you a password.

I don't know exactly what's going on, but when I logged in to my webcomic site admin page for the first time, username "islandofhell," I noticed "Lelita&Amber" as authors of my comic, me being Christopher Contreras. I have no clue on Earth who "Lelita&Amber" are. Why are they listed as co-authors...?

Similar issue with my new webcomic "Cold Servings" While it has my name on it, it also has an Irving Guttierez listed as an author. As I said in a topic I created on this subject, I'm sure Irving is a nice enough fellow, but he has nothing to do with my comic.

Im having trouble signing up, when ive finished filling everything out and all I press the verify button and it says sending to site.admin@keenspace.com and it does that forever and never loads and the one time it did load, it didnt do anything but erase everything I have filled out.

I, too, had that... I "edited" to be me and deleted the other default me, and now after a few days and several full updates it's gone.

I suggest the following:
1.) Be patient. It may actually have worked. Takes a few hours/days to get the first email.
2.) What browser are you using?
3.) Do you have a firewall?

I'm sorry, I don't understand, do I recieve an email after I had signed up? Or the email comes around 2 weeks after? I thought to check the signup status and here's what I got:

Signup found, status:
Signup email sent, waiting activation or purge

I'm wondering if this signup email was sent to me or to the admin, because if something was sent to me, I didn't recieve anything. (I'm using GMail, would that be a problem?)

No, I actually understand that GMail is one of the better e-mail providers to have the mail sent to. I had to try three times, what I did was make it so that my filters allowed anything from butch.keenspace.com and keenspace.com to go through before I actually got the e-mail, and I got mine a few days after I had applied. Just be patient, and if you don't hear anything by the end of the week, try again with another e-mail. Hotmail works as long as you allow the previously mentioned domains to be filtered through. Then after that you wait at *least* seven days before you get a password, and from there, you are in!
