    Before I even get into how I do it, I just want to ask one question: what format is the image in? Anything other than jpeg or png is bound to cause problems. I've gone crazy trying to get an image inserted only to find out it was because it was a bmp file xD

    Okay, now that that's out of the way, here's how I do it (in fact I had to do it in order to answer this question xD):

    1. Find and hover over the 'Multimedia' arrow (circled below):

    2. Hover over 'photos', and select 'Add New Photos'. You should get this:

    3. Either create a new folder for your image or throw it into an old one (I put these images into my MISC folder)

    4. Click on 'Add Photos' (circled above). Find the folder on your hard drive that contains your image, select it, then click 'open'. Unless you've got a ton of high res images, it shouldn't take very long.

    5. Click 'Save Photos'

    6. Click 'Save Changes'

    7. Open your album, find your image and click on it. Here is what you should be seeing (except it will be the image you've selected instead of some random on I've got in the my Misc. folder xD):

    8. Right Click on the image and select 'Copy'

    9. Navigate to the page you want to insert your image, and paste it in.

    Now I know there has got to be easier ways than this, but this is how I do it, and it works... usually ;D

    Hey guys do you have any Idea how to get your build noticed, because I want to get some criticism! Any ideas what tags are good? Just some help for a noob!

    I'm fairly sure it's a new website. The old one was called...Skyrimblog? I don't know how to get there but yeah there used to be one.

    If you know what build you're looking for, use the search bar at the top left and you should be able to find your build easily. Most builds can't be found because following the transfer to the new site, most, if not all builds were "broken" so the images had to be replaced, the tags had to be put in, and the builds pretty much had to be reformatted, which is why we have the CB Restoration task Force

    I'd say post it in the workshop before posting it as a character build because: (a) Lots of good feedback comes out of there, (b) the build gets more exposure, and (c) the finished product will be considerably more polished than otherwise. Any of the aforementioned reasons are bound to translate into more likes/exposure.

    They should still be there. Some of them may be missing images, but those are steadily being restored by the Build Restoration Team. 

    The only builds missing will be ones that the author has removed him or herself. 

    If you can't remember the build name, try describing it on the Build Recommendation thread... I'm convinced that the gurus there can find just about any build ;D

    Okay, this may sound stupid, but where do I actually CREATE a build?

    Not stupid at all (it took me quite a while to figure it out (but then again, I'm pretty stupid xD)).

    If you look on the Skyrim Character Building main page on the top left by the Character Building avatar, you will see the words 'Post Topic' in green letters. Click on that, and you're there ;D
