help & FAQs An image I want to add will not upload?

The image file you select for uploading must be in .jpg, .png or .gif format and must less than 1Mb file size. If it does not meet this specification your image upload will fail.

help & FAQs How do I get my review to appear as Latest review on the Interface home page?

The review that gets shown as the Latest review on Interface home page is the last review that been added and published. It will remain there until someone else adds and publishes a review.

The home page is refreshed every fifteen minutes - this is to speed how quickly it displays. After publishing your review it will therefore take up to fifteen minutes to appear on the home page.

help & FAQs I have uploaded an image but the large version of it that appears after clicking the thumbnail is much smaller than other images on the site.

When you upload images they are automatically processed to the sizes required by the website. It will not however attempt to increase the size of your original to meet the 480pxl size for the large image - to do so would degrade the quality of the image. Wherever possible use images larger than 480pxls
