I realise there is already a thread for screenshots but i thought one dedicated to kill shots would be a good idea.
I'll copy and paste the rules laid out by Gizzmoe in the official general screenies thread:
Maximum image size 1024x768, JPG format only.
Resizing images
If you need to resize a screenshot because it´s larger than 1024x786 you can use Irfanview, it´s free:
http://www.irfanview.com/
Open the image with Irfanview, go to Image -> Resize/Resample, under Size method select Resample, then type in the new size in Set new size, after that click Ok.
To save it go to File -> Save as, set Save as type to JPG, tick Show Options dialog and set Save quality to 85. Then save the image.
Alternative method
If you already have a JPG, Imageshack can resize it for you. On Imageshack.us click resize image? and select 1024x768, then upload the image.
Uploading images
Images can be uploaded to Imageshack:
http://imageshack.us/
Once uploaded you´ll see several links that you can copy. Take the one named "Direct link to image", mark the link and copy it (Ctrl-C).
Paste the link into your post (Ctrl-V), then wrap it in image tags.
HTML Code:
http://server/image.jpg
http://www.tinypic.com/ is also a good hosting site for pictures.
Could everyone be so kind as to not quote posts containing pictures? It clutters up the thread and makes it take longer to load.
If this is a bad idea for a thread then mods please feel free to close it down :o
