Hello, Relatively new to Anki here. I’ve been using Anki for a few months and I am now receiving the following message each time I try to sync: “Please use the Check Database function, then sync again. If problems persist, please force a full sync in the preferences screen.” I have tried checking the database but the problem persists. Furthermore, I do not know how to force a full sync and nothing is syncing to my AnkiWeb. One other problem: in my Zanki deck, many of the images do not show up (e.g., Sketchy Path). Does anyone know how to correct this? Your help is greatly appreciated. ---

You can force a full / one way sync in the preferences screen. Please choose Upload after doing so, and let us know if the problem persists. ---
