Screenshots

[kwikpoppa]

Darn it somebody give me a step by step instruction on how to put screenshots in a post.I never posted a screenshot before and I got a couple of good ones.....

[Mush Martin]

Ok you have to go to a site like photobucket or image shack

register

upload the pictures you want to your file their.

then it gives you code to copy and paste

for either thumbnail the picture itself or embedding code

then you just copy the img code you want and

paste it into your posts.

[kwikpoppa]

I know that probably seemed like a simple explanation but I still didnt understand,see Im totally unfamiliar with those procedures.Could you explain again as if you were talking to an idiot ()LOL

[Mush Martin]

I was! LOL


there are websites that host your images for online use.

PhotoBucket for example http://photobucket.com/

start a free acct.

read through how to upload off of your drive.

then read through how to copy an image onto

the forums from there

each picture you upload will have three little codes beside
it

for a full image use img type code copy the code and paste it
into your post on subsim save the post and the picture appears
in the post.

To go with what Mush is saying, also check out the link I posted, the very first post is an explanation on how to post scrennies. It is a bit of trial and error, the process, don't sweat it, give it a go and you will be fine:yep:

Instructions to take and post a Screenshot
1. Take screenshot by pressing CTRL+F11
2. Change the Screenshot to .jpg and resolution to 640x480
3. Go to www.imageshack.us (http://www.imageshack.us/) and host the image there
4. Copy the "Direct link to image" url
5. When you want to post it here, make it look like this:
"UrlOfTheImageYouCopied" whitout those " "

At imageshack when uploading you can customize the size of your pick on the upload, as mentioned above preferably 640 x 480:roll:. After uploading you will see a bunch of links, the one you want to copy and then paste is the " direct link to image ", then you come back to subsim, click on the insert image icon, paste your imageshack link and that's it.

You will see your pic in your message, if you don't then something is wrong, so don't post, otherwise you will have what you posted up top a bunch of times.
You will get this:yep:

Once you have the image on a host, use vb code.
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/misc.php?do=bbcode

Also an image that is .jpg 800x600 is generaly the norm. Off the top of my head I don't know if this form frowns on larger images. Jpg images also load faster then png images.

I think you are right on the jpeg format, and I think because of size. Good tip:up:

Click the small yellow box with mountains on it (above this text box when replying)

Into that, paste the link to the picture (which you're doing seperatly atm) it'll automatically generate the picture INSIDE the text box even before you're finished posting, so you know when it works :)

[Jusa_Finn]

I must try it too.

Blah

[Pevs86]

Close, just entered the pic in the wrong part:

www.imagelocation.jpg

Example is my Sig:

[ img ]http://40comm.munkyweb.com/screens/Pevs/SubSim_Sig.jpg[ /img ]

Without the spaces before/after the "img"

[Pevs86]

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/smartdark/insertimage.gif

Dunno how you did that, but it's something :)

What you'd do, is either:

1. Press that Icon
2. Paste the image location into the popup box (
//img413.imageshack.us/img413/5215/checkingforsurvivorsjpgbp9.png (http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/5215/checkingforsurvivorsjpgbp9.png))
3. Press OK
4. Admire the pic which will be displayed in the reply box :)

OR

1. Type
2. Paste the image location directly after it (//img413.imageshack.us/img413/5215/checkingforsurvivorsjpgbp9.png (http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/5215/checkingforsurvivorsjpgbp9.png))
3. type immediatly after it, no spaces
4. The forums should then generate the picture, if not you'll see:

//img413.imageshack.us/img413/5215/checkingforsurvivorsjpgbp9.pn (http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/5215/checkingforsurvivorsjpgbp9.png) (removed the "g" so that it doesn't generate the picture)

lose the space after "" and add "" Immediatly after .png and we may have a winner :)

Well that should work :hmm:

Try converting it to a .jpg in Paint or a similar program

[Pevs86]

Hmm, tried it and works for me with your link.

Double check there's no spaces anywhere along the line

[Jusa_Finn]

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3553/checkingforsurvivorsjpgwg5.png

This seems to work just fine.:up:

[Pevs86]

Yea, when quoting it comes up... wierd.

[Mush Martin]

is this a case of your grabbing the shortcut instead of the image at
imageshack.?

[Jusa_Finn]

There's a difference between link which works: [ img]http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3553/checkingforsurvivorsjpgwg5.png[/img] I put an extra space in front of the img to show the link in text.
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3553/checkingforsurvivorsjpgwg5.png

and which doesn't:

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3...vorsjpgwg5.png (http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3553/checkingforsurvivorsjpgwg5.png)

Are you pasting the full address between and ?

or a shortened one:

Dunno if the forum is cutting down the link or whether you're posting a partial link.

But then when quoting it comes up... gah!

[Dowly]

It seems that the url is a link, dont know why it shows as a link instead of image.

I copied the url and pasted it again and added the tags and it works just fine.

what size is the pic.

[kwikpoppa]

Is that centered and all?

[kwikpoppa]

well I went reccomended size,i think it was 600x480,would original 1024x768 be better?

600x480 is cool, 1024x780 will take awhile to load - will also be quicker if you make them .jpgs in future, nice screens :)

"Aahhh look at us jim were a festival of conviviality"

larger pics on your thread will mean your thread will load
more slowly with each pic you post.

also there is a limit of five pics per post so if you
have ten its two posts.

when doing that its a good idea to get all your ducks in a row
and line up your images all first for posting.

MM

[ReallyDedPoet]

Remember to keep them to the smaller size, below is from the screenshot
thread:up:

RDP

2. Change the Screenshot to .jpg and resolution to 640x480

[Mush Martin]

Finally when your out shooting screenies hit pause (backspace)
then hit F12 for free cam and then hit the del button on the bottom
of your number pad on your keyboard the one on the bottom right
not the one in the middle of the keys
this will remove dials and controls from view for better pics

also hitting either the , key or the . key will allow you to scroll
through all the chase cams of everyunit in sensor range.

if your in free cam on pause looking at something use ctrl button with
mouse to slide camera around.

enjoy these good tips

You guys should all pat yourselves on the back for not ridiculing or demeaning his efforts.
I have to admit you're a stronger sort than I and I've learned from your examples.
Thank you.
There was a time, however, that I actually thought he was pulling your legs. Laughed out loud a couple times!
Again, good job on getting the screens up, and frankly better job to the group for your combined support efforts.
