I'm having a bit of trouble with the images. They're all ready, but I'm unable to upload them as they're from "dynamic" sites, whatever that means.

You could use Imgur for now. Imgur did get bought up by another company, which seems to not bode well, but for the moment, it works.

Use imgBB and open the image in a new tab once uploaded so you can use a jpg version

I did try your suggestion, cold.

But all I'm left with is a link to the image, not the image itself. Also the image is a png.

Is there a step I've missed?

If you put the link in the image ("IMG") tag, it works perfectly.

I did do that, but now I'm left with a dry block of text. Again, I suspect that I may have flubbed up on a crucial step.

Wait a minute.

Apparently by opening the image FROM DISCORD into another tab, copying the image location, and then inserting the image blocks does it work.


huh

And only for the main image; this method works for it because it has "cdn", not "media" as with the supplements.

Ooh yea, that works too.

I like the gradient on the purple stem.


"hopefully to" Try replacing "hopefully to settle and become" with "happily to settle and become". It doesn't make semantic sense, since this is roughly equivalent to seaweed and cannot have emotions. I recommend, "and may settle and become" instead.

"upon settling;" with a semicolon, that forms a very large, breathless sentence.

"play here;[...] That is also a very long sentence.

I believe all the terms enclosed in parentheses in the template should be capitalized. I am not certain, however.

EDIT: The name should be below the image.

Hmmm...

Apparently Imgur doesn't work either for the supplements. The forum reads the link as of an invalid domian.

The "hope" is moreso from the author's perspective.

Also semicolons do provide a momentary break while reading, uniting two particularly related clauses.

Problem solved once more I guess!
To get the images into cdn format, I have to click "open original" after clicking on the image, not dragging the image into a new tab.

Oops!

It would improve the images to remove the excess white space of the supplementary images and enhance the contrast or otherwise get rid of the paper texture for the first supplementary image. It seems the Alpha standard for supplementary images is somewhat higher than that for gallery images.

I mean, the supplements are readable.

Size:
Same as Ancestor?: N
Within range?: N?
Exception?: It's grown by 8x, but it's filling a niche currently devoid and pressure to do so makes sense. I'm surprised it didn't get bigger.

Support:
Same as Ancestor?: N/a
Reasonable changes (if any)?: Y
Other?: Ancestor unknown, this is given cellulose cell walls, fairly basic addition, and can make sense, not the only cell wall opion but may be the best due to lifestyles of ancestors

Diet:
Same as Ancestor?: Yes
Transition Rule?: N/a
Reasonable changes (if any)?: N/a

Respiration:
Same as Ancestor?: N/a
Does It Fit Habitat?: Y
Reasonable changes (if any)?: Y
Other?: Added passive diffusion, while ancestor was unknown, this change is a simple fix that works.

Thermoregulation:
Same as Ancestor?: N/a
Does It Fit Habitat?: Y
Reasonable changes (if any)?: Y
Other?: Ancestor was unknown, this listed as Ectotherm, simple fix

Reproduction:
Same as Ancestor?: N
Does It Fit Habitat?: Y
Reasonable changes (if any)?: Y
Other?: Development of sexual reproduction via waterborne spores, waterborne needs to be clarified, this is an important development and is well stated in the description.

Description:
Length?: Not short
Capitalized correctly?: Looks like it
Replace/Split from ancestor?: Split
Other?:

Opinion: Pending(why);
There are some minor clarifications that should be done regarding spores. I am also unsure about the size.

Someone else should look at the habitat portion please.
