How do i post mage wars screenshots?
« on: April 02, 2015, 03:22:03 PM »


I tried to use the "insert image" button, but i can´t insert Pictures/screenshots.

Would make forum posts more "living"

Easier to describe opening moves, Battlereports..

Anybody Who can tell me how to do that?

1) Upload them to a image hosting site like -->this one<--.

2) Right click on the image and click "inspect element".

3) Click "Copy link address" on the .jpg file name.

4) Paste it in between these brackets, (img)(/img) but instead of parentheses, use brackets  [ ] [ ]

Just save the screenshot to your pictures folder and upload them in a forum post as an attachment.

use.com will also generate the exact code that you need to past in your message, so really just go to use.com and follow the instructions there.

If you do upload the picture to a file-uploading site, you'll have to read their Terms and Conditions. A lot of sites like that claim ownership of anything that gets uploaded to them, so be careful.

It's probably a lot simpler and easier to just save it to your pictures folder on your computer and then attach the picture in your post. It's not difficult at all. You click "reply" then click "attachments and other options" which is right below the text box. Then click "browse", select your picture, press ok and then submit your post.

It's really REALLY easy, and it's just generally simpler and safer than submitting it to a file-uploading site.

You are giving up way too soon. Did you try googling "how to change the size of an image file"?

http://m.wikihow.com/Change-the-Size-of-an-Image-in-KB

This has the best explanation I could find. Not sure if it equally applies to Mac OS. But I think it's probably safe to assume you are using windows, right?
