So in my storygame, I upload a picture, but the only options to align it are LEFT and RIGHT, not in the CENTER.

Since the artwork I have selected is crucial for playing out the story, it makes sense to...put the pictures in the middle since it looks clean and professional.

Is there any way to fix this? The technical aspects of making a storygame is my number 1 issue in terms of publishing new content =(.

You can try HTML but I doubt they would work at this point...

Where do I copy and paste that information at?

I understand to copy and paste the image URL in the src =  "Image URL" section though.
 

There should be a button in the top left of the editor that says <Source>

It'll show you the text on your page in HTML. Paste the code there and it should fix the alignment.

I can't find it. Here are my steps that I took to looking for it.

Step 1: Click "My Stuff"

Step 2: Click the "Edit" function of my storygame "War of Legends: Chapter 1"

Step 3: Click the "Edit" function once again to the right of the column "Go Back, Preview, Edit"

Step 4: ??? Couldn't find the thing you were talking about on the top left.

I wish the admins of the site would fix it where I can insert images in the middle as easily as aligning it right or left. Even nmelssx above says HTML MIGHT work. Key word: Doubt.

Ah, you mean on the title page. In that case, all of the previous advice was for actual pages in the story game, so disregard it.

I don't know if there's a way to get it centrally aligned, though you could always choose left align and scootch it over by typing a couple of invisible white periods in front.

Thanks for the help. Actually, I need help for the actual pages in the story game.

Though correct me if I'm wrong, but what do you mean by the title page?

What I mean to do is insert an image into a story page and write walls of text underneath it to progress the storygame.

I look at games like "Necromancer" and I'm wondering...How does this guy manage to put ALL of his images in the center??

The title page is the first page that other people link to when they click on your story game. The one with the big gray button that says 'Play War of Legends: I'

Are you using the basic editor or have you converted to advanced? Because I think only advanced lets you use HTML.

I'm using the basic editor. Can that editor only align images to right and left, but not in the middle?

I look at games like "Necromancer" and I'm wondering...How does this guy manage to put ALL of his images in the center?? Wanted to repost this if that's fine.

Editing pictures got screwed up major time, since the last recent update, before the most recent update. 

I had this problem almost a year ago before school started.

I never bothered asking for help on aligning images to the center because I was so busy.

But now, it seems the issue has never been fixed as of late even after almost a year.

So....am I screwed then? My gripe with the advanced editor is that its too advanced for me. I'm not that good on the technical side. Though I'm afraid other people will tell me to "suck it up and learn how to use the advanced editor" =(.

The advanced editor isn't actually that bad. If you don't want to touch the scripting, then you can leave it mostly alone and it works pretty much the same as the basic editor. I can't script worth a damn (beyond putting in pictures!) and I haven't run into any problems yet.

So yeah, if you want centered pictures, convert, then you'll see the <>Source button. Copy in this:

<image align="center" src="IMAGE URL">

and voila, you should have a centered image.

Although, sadly, you'll have to do this again every time you save. At least, my advanced editor deletes my pictures every time I open up the page again.

Thanks. Any reason why the basic editor won't align images to the center?

It wasn't scripted to. :P

No wonder.

You, the quiller, and everyone else who have posted on this thread have been tremendous in assisting me.

Thanks again.

I used the basic editor for Necromancer and Ground Zero and I still got images in the center.

Not sure if turning off the rich text editor helps with that though.

I find that it just causes more problems if it's on like some of the text turns to symbols, odd spacing issues, etc. when copy/pasting pages.
