Am I required to upload a thumbnail to the gallery when submitting an image?
Yes. If you do not upload a thumbnail, your image will not display in the gallery categories. This is because the thumbnail is used to show a link to your image within the image galleries. For more information on creating and uploading a thumbnail, see this tutorial
Can I edit or delete my image?
For now, yes you can. In the future, edits will require a moderator's approval. In the meantime, simply go to your image, and click on the edit tab at the top of the page. This is handy if you accidentally didn't submit a thumbnail or you see that the thumbnail is stretched because it wasn't square.
Why do I get an error when trying to edit my image?
The edit function assumes your are essentially deleting your old image and uploading another. So you will need to put the thumbnail and image back into the provided boxes before submitting.
