Nooby Question

[Daphey]

Yeah i'm new and i've really been wondering. How do i upload Screenshots or any images to my map tutorial. And also how do i make that button that expands some information when you click it (people usually use it for change logs etc)

Thanks, and excuse the noobiness

upload them to tinypic.com , then copy the link that says "display to forum" or something similar to that

No, no, no, no.

Either: Attach it to your post using the Attach button (paper clip) found in the Advanced post controls.

Or, if you must use Photobucket.com, and the

tags.

To clarify, check out the FAQ.

what;s wrong with tinypic?

the display to forum is the link with

I think PhotoBucket sucks, because all of the older pictures in tutorials that were uploaded to PhotoBucket, now are gone... >_> I use ImageShack instead ([img][/img]), or just attach the images to my post.

that's not photobucket's fault, that's the tutorial author's fault for not attaching them to his post. There's a reason why that's a tutorial submission requirement now, you know

It's not just tutorials, there's many other pictures from PhotoBucket that aren't showing... like some pictures on Picture/Photo Thread. Whatever, I think ImageShack is better, it takes less time to upload.

Tinypic is definitely the best one of those. I never saw a tinypic image not showing up, even after several years. Anyhow, the best thing is to attach the images to the post by going to "Advanced" and "Manage Attachments".

Imageshack is horribly slow

+1 for TinyPic

 

[Daphey]

Score is:
2 for tiny pic
1 imageshack
1 photobucket
2 HIVE's attach button (but this is for my map description in map section. CAn't find attach button unless i upload in separate post)

Anyone else?

 

[Daphey]

Oh also another question. How to colorise the font in tutorials. what's the command for 'red' for example?

 

[takakenji]

go to "go advanced" on a post and start looking instead of asking the things that are right there

 

[Daphey]

Well thanx for the help anyway.

i didn't know that it was in the 'go advanced', cuz this was for my map tutorial and there are no options for that.

Yeah we generally prefer it if you avoid excessive colored text. Usually bolding/underlining/making it bigger does the trick.
