Posting Pics

[Midge]

Can someone give me a heads up on how to post pictures(of maps) as I may start an AAR on Aarons latest Bolt as I'm testing stuff for him?

I'm sure its hidden here somewhere but I can't find it!

I also seem to remember you needed to do them a specific size or no bigger than X?

As a side note, when you copy the BB code do not highlight the [img] which will be shown on each side of the code. If you do, and then paste the BB link in to the "Insert Image", the [img] will show up on both sides of your picture, which you will not want.

If you have any questions/problems, feel free to let us know.

Good Luck.

Thanks for posting those links Chad.......

Midge, although they give you 95% of the info you require you may still find that you will need to experiment a bit to get things looking correctly, but once you get going it gets easier and easier.

I did work out how many hexs across that 775 pixels was, it might have been 17 but I am not sure, if you can find that piece of info out you can then create screenshots that will never exceed 775 and hence will not be resized by the forum software, of course if you are not bothered by that then this issue is mute anyway.

You will have a much more successful AAR if you use the "Insert Image" feature. You paste the BB code here.

It looks like you are using the "Insert Hyperlink" button instead of the "Insert Image". To display a pic in a post, you need to select the "Insert Image" feature which is shown in my previous post.
