Hi Hylas! I can help check out the links if you like.
No worries; take your time! It's early in the month anyways
No worries! Life has a way of getting in the way!
I can't tell if you're using Alex without M7, and Aran without Damien.
M7 and Damien would have to be counted as well, which would take your entry over the limit of 5 purchased items...
Please also list Daz Dog 8 as a paid item.
But since that's still under 5:
Entry Approved! Please move to Entries Thread
Oh, but I don't actually have Daz Dog 8; it's for Daz Dog 8 but you don't actually need it to use the Dire Wolf. Do I still have to list it?
You can use Alex and Aran without their 'required' products. I don't even own M7. You just need Genesis 3 Male to use, and that is available for free for everyone by default.
In this render I used both of these characters without their base products.
In that case:

Is there a problem with uploading files? I've been trying for two days to upload my entry and all I get is a never ending "Uploading" statement after picking the file. I know my internet connection isn't always the best but a file less than 1.5 megs in size on a 4G connection has just sat there for an hour with the Uploading message before I made it quit. Won't except the upload. I have tried other sites and the uploading works fine. Works when upload to the gallery here. Anyone have a clue?
Update: tried again this morning (5/16/22) - still no go!!!!
testing testing...
... works fine for me.
If you really can't get it to work, upload your entry to your gallery and hotlink it!
Hylas, Just tried again and still no go ( 15 min to 5/18/22). Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think so. I'm to old to jump thru hoops. I have enough probs just getting the actual image to show up in the forum message, they don't make any thing here easy. Guess I'll just pass. It isn't that good an entry anyway. Try again next month, if it works, if not, well......
how large is your file? maybe you can reduce it is size and make it a .jpg file which are much smaller? would be a pity if you made an entry and couldn't upload
As I said in the original message the image file is less than 1.5 megs (actually 1.27) and, additionally, is only 1500x1125 pixels, and is already a jpg file. That's less than half the size of the original and much smaller than I've sent before. You can check out some of my past entries to see the sizes I've done before.
Oh and I just tried again, now, with a much small image and still no go.
Thanks anyway.
My entry for the May 2022 "Cozy Corner"
Title: A Book, a Bunny, and a Beer.
A young mind trying to improve her knowledge by reading an ancient tome. But that book, being as dry as it is, causes a massive thirst, not just for the mind but for the throat too. As time goes on she shares with her most trusted confidant, her childhood friend, Mr Bunny.

This is my entry - maybe someelse can get it to show up.
https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/#image=1222979 - tried everything else
this is @BronzeDragon 's entry I caught from the gallery
glad you got it up at least on the gallery!
I like it. Wish I could do as well.
I do have one tiny comment, BronzeDragon, and it's more from my slightly pedantic point of view. There are flames from the fire, but no chimney for the exhaust gasses to go up, so the smoke would be coming into the room. A flue could be simulated with a matt black plane (say 60cm square) could be positioned 0.05cm below the underside of the tiles above the flames, and that way it would look a bit like a square flue without needing significant modelling.
Regards,
Richard
Linwelly.
Don't have a problem there or other sites, like rendo, and deviantarts, just this forum. Anyway, thanks for re-posting it here. You may have to do the same if I can move it to the entries thread unless I can figure out how you did it.
Anyway, thanks.
Richard.
Point taken. Though I could say that instead of a square, it is a full width slot four of five inches deep across the whole back corner and that at the angle of the view causes it to be hidden behind the corner.
Just kidding. Yes I did notice the missing part but didn't think it really mattered.

Entry Approved! Please move to Entries Thread
You can count the clock as a freebie as well because signing up to the newsletter is free and available to all. Not that it really matters in this case :)
To hotlink an image:
- Click on your gallery image to get the enlarged version. Now right-click on the enlarged image and select "copy image location" or "copy image URL", or some such. Exact wording varies from browser to browser.
- In the forum, click on the little image symbol (see screenshot)
- paste the URL you copied before in "URL"
- make sure the little padlock symbol is closed, if it's open click on it to close it
- set width to 800
- Go to the 2nd tab that says "link", paste the URL again in "URL" and switch "target" to "New Window (_blank)"
that's no problem, probably just "@" me when you post on the entries site, so I get a notification and can add the image
