Put the URL of the image you want to upload between image tags.

Edit: Heh... I don't know why I thought he was asking about how to upload images here on the forum. :P

There's "upload file" in the Toolbox part of the navbar.

If you upload anything, please give them meaningful names. E.g, something like [wiki=File:AbandonedChapel01.png]this[/wiki], but NOT like [wiki=File:6.png]this[/wiki] or [wiki=File:Screenshotdoom200909291ls.png]that[/wiki]. Note that the upload form lets you rename them on the fly.

And also, please do not forget to put the [[Category:Screenshots]] code on them. The upload form gives you a box to type some description: write a short one and paste that category code in it.

I looked in the toolbar part of the navigation bar and I still don't see it. Can anybody post a screenshot on where the upload file is so I can find it?

If you don't see it, maybe you don't have permission to upload files... I know drastic measures had to be taken against the endless swarms of spambots some times ago.

That's why I made this thread because I don't see it anywhere. Is there some reason why I can't upload screenshots for my project?

This is exactly with what I am talking about. I don't have that feature in my Toolbar.

It may say your name at the top, but that does not mean that you are logged in.

You may have logged in previously, but closed the page or left the page for some time, without logging out, Going back to the Wiki page will still show your name but your login status will be in question. To find out for sure, click on Edit.

If you open the Wiki mainpage and your name appears on top, it is always a good idea to click on logout and log back in. Then you know for certain what your current status is.

Uh, it kind of doesn't work that way - if your account doesn't have access to file uploading, then even if you had the URL to the upload page, you would not be allowed to use it. Is there anything preventing you from just putting your screenshots on imgur, majhost or tinypic and then providing them as links instead?

[edit] On second thought, if your project is a sequel to Doomguy's Warzone that fixes none of the complaints with the original version, don't even bother. =P
