How to take screens with the res fix,where to host them,and how to upload them here?

[Paul Riley]

I just wanted to keep this thread as simple as possible as I seem to still be having problems taking screenshots with the higher resolutions fix.I would also like to know YOUR preferred server for hosting your images,and finally how to correctly upload them here to the forum.
Terribly sorry as this subject has no doubt been covered countless times before but nonetheless I AM having trouble here and I so desperately want to include images to my patrol reports,which is where I now come to you and your wise council.
5 years playing this game and I thought I knew everything (we can't possibly be expected to know everything and sometimes its the simplest things that seem to elude us)

I look forward to your input here my good friends

Hi Paul....I don't have the res fix so can't help you there but I can get you through the posting of screenshots procedure.

Go to http://imageshack.us/

Click on Browse (notice I have my image size set for a 17-inch monitor, it doesn't have to correspond with your actual monitor size, mine is a 22" flatscreen but I like the look of that size on this forum, the larger the size selected, the larger the image will be on the forum).



The file box will open, go to wherever your image is stored, in this example the desktop.

Click on the image and select Open.

Click on the UPLOAD NOW button.




Your image will upload and show a small thumbnail, I'm using one of my Police photos.

Underneath you will see the Forum Code....left mouse click to highlight it then right mouse click to choose Copy.



Go to your forum message and right mouse click paste and the code for the image will appear in your message.

You can check by using the preview message function on the forum.

That should see you good to go

I have the High Res fix and screnshots are still ok for me using the Shift-F11 combo.

They are stored in the Main SHIII Folder as Bitmap Images. I use Gimp to scale to the size I want and convert to Jpeg which I then export to the photobucket site to host.

Many thanks for that,I will look into this later. (think I may have been forgetting the SHIFT button with F11,damn)
The conversion from Bitmap to Jpeg will be very useful as I didnt want to post Bitmaps here.Could you just briefly describe a little about Gimp and if there are other alternatives out there that other people use?.
Lastly,do you know if servers like Imageshack convert the images for us? removing the need to use further programs (like Gimp) to do the conversion for us.
MUCH appreciated!

I buy my own web site space (www.ipowerweb.com) for like $100 a year, and put my pictures there.

As for the hi-rez fix, if you fix it let me know because when I tried taking screen shots with F11 it caused a crash to desktop.

This is why I no longer use it.
