Ok i already posted this pic but i could never find my reply again

But i have a question, how do you get the pic right on screen and not in a link?

Is it just Copy & Paste?

[jon97]

I cant see link on my post
can anyone esle????

Ok i can now


Let me know if u can see my link anyone cause i cant sometimes and how can i just put the pic not a link?

An easy way would be to do as you have done with the attachement. Click on the link, and copy the adress in the browser. Now go back to your post and click insert picture, and use the link you copied before. Now the picture is visible in the post.

You cannot copy and paste, as you need a link to the picture to show it in the post. If you have it on your desktop you need to upload it somewhere. This is what you do whenn you add it as attachement, but you can also upload it to imageshack or other places that will host your pictures for you.

The image you are using are in a very bad resolution though, and I think something went wrong somewhere. Do you have a picture saved that is larger?

You can see an example of how I did this in This Thread

ok so ur saying i should
1) go to manage attachments
2)put my onslaught 3.4 bil (not great, was test) onto upload
3)then i got lost
The thing is i did it from my pictures? is that fine?

1) Print Screen (copy it)
2) Cut out what i want in paint
3) I edited it in GIMP so it was 600 X 600
4) Then i saved it as Onslaught 3.4 bil.jpg
5)and it came out blurry
6)and no i dont want to put it on a image hosting site cause you can do it straight from com...

Ok - at number 3 you click preview, click on the attachement you just put in, and copy the adress as shown in your browser, then click back and go down to your message and click the add picture button, and insert the link you just copied.

About the picture, what might have happend is that you chose the automaticaly created thumbnail version of the picture. Open my picture, and make sure the the picture you want to upload has a size of more then 20Kb, otherwise the picture is saved wrong, and you can change some settings in Gimp, but most likely you uploaded the thumbnailversion.

1) Print Screen (copy it)
2) Cut out what i want in paint
3) I edited it in GIMP so it was 600 X 600
4) Then i saved it as Onslaught 3.4 bil.jpg
5)and it came out blurry
6)and no i dont want to put it on a image hosting site cause you can do it straight from com...

You need to put it on a hosting site one way or other, after all you would like me to see the picture, so it is no use having it only on your computer. In this case you are using towerdefence.net as the host.

Why...why didnt you said that before...

Go to "Go Advanced" in your post. After that, scroll down to see "Manage Attachments". Click it. Now a new page will show up. Do you see the first option "Upload File from your Computer"? You're using that. Click the "Search" button in the right and look up where do you saved your image (make sure the image fit in the requirements (Max Filesize, Max Width and Max Height)). Now click "Upload". When you finish your post and click "Submit Reply", you're going to see your attached image there

Shadow, i asked on main misc chat that i would like the picture to be there without a link...visible score, and i would like this site to be host. And cth, it was actually just over 100kb and i dont understand the "thumbnail version"
See, this is my first real forums ive really paid a lot of attention to, but i hit

Print
Screen
-------
SysRq

Button, does that make a thumbnail? and how
else could u get a picture of game into file? Idk,sorry but is it all the same in group? (example td lovers) because i would like to show bro onslaught pic


I think i got it...dont know why its so hard

Why is there just an x i copied link from album of pic but its an x

[jon97]

Idk ill just put everything i did exactly, and what im trying to do...
1)finish onslaught
2)hit print screen key
3)go to paint and paste
4)cut out what i want (just game footage)
5)now the file name is Onslaught 3.4 bil.jpg with 600 X 600 dimensions and
125.9 kb, it says 97.7 is limit but if its over does it come in seperate link?
6) Manage attatchments
7)selcted my onslaught
8) and typed and hit ok
9)and it came out as a link,and blurry

[jon97]

What i did second:
1)print screen key of onslaught
2)go to paint and cut image and save it to my pictures
3)go to gimp and make it 600 X 600, thats what i did the last time too...
4)save as:
Onslaught 3.4 bil.jpg
5)put it in album (blurry)
6) came here
7) and then i reopend page on another tab and i copied album link
8)click add pic on post (mountain pic)
9)copied link
10)posted
11)said it was an image, but it came as x
12)was that cause it was 125.9 Kb?

Hopefully this works...trying everything i can

WHY...WHY!!!!!!!!!!
Why does it have to be so aggravating...it came out unreadable! U cant see much, and other ppls come out sharp...i think i know a problem i havent told yet... when im on GIMP and i save it as a jpg it said "jpg plug-in cannot handle transparency" Options:Export or ignore, export ruined the file, but i clicked ignore the second time... is there an update to jpg plugin u have to do?

Ok, so you now know how to post the images in posts. The only problem is this Gimp. Why do you have to use it? After you saved the image on paint, the image is all normal. So you already have the image ready for being uploaded or used as an attachment. So why do you use Gimp?
