[RESOLVED] Posting Images in AVSIM Forums - How To..

Recommended Posts

Jeff, how did you insert the link to the pictures? I'm not sure if linking pictures from Facebook actually works, but if it works, I think it needs to be done this way:

<Insert link here>[/link]

Other than that, you could simply use some other online hosting service, like Dropbox, which works for sure.

 

Best regards,

Flo

I tried using the image icon and pasting the link....and now i see the html syntax is wrong when doing that according to your reply. Let me test one here.

Well, the link part works, but doesn't show the image.

 

Anyways, I guess you have to have them hosted somewhere else. I already have FB, so not going to go through the trouble to have them somewhere else.

Any image you try to post must end with a .jpg or .png extension. You cannot "link" to an .htm page.

 

You can however use a totally free service* to capture 'screenshots' directly from your monitor(s), including simply snipping part of a screen, such as this you had tried to "link" to.

What I did after installing this tiny TSR utility was to display your facebook page image, then used the Ctrl-Shift-4 key-combo, then 'drew a rectangle' around the image's borders. Instantly a short URL was created for me to use here: http://puu.sh/iPjzG/aa72ff78ec.jpg

 

By clicking on the "Image" icon in this forum's editor, I was able to paste the above link into an "Image box" for display here in the forum. Easy-Peasy!

You are most welcome, Jeff. For years I've used ImageShack to store screenshot images I wanted to share, but it is a multi-step process involving capturing an image, saving the image, then uploading it to ImageShack (or other such site), then getting a link that may be used in forums, etc.

 

This Puush.me service takes about 4 seconds, start to finish. What could possibly be easier? :Big Grin:

 

Every user has 3MB of storage available for free, and can easily manage their "albums" as desired, or set up a Gallery to which you can send folks for a slideshow. There are lots of possibilities!
