How can I post a screenshot?

[alby]

micky u need somewere to host (save) your files (u may need to convert to jpg) then we can all see them

ie..the free x amount of webspace your isp gives you

create a domain then u can host

To expand upon what alby said, you need to upload the screenshot to some webspace. Many ISPs provide webspace for their customers. Do not upload the TGA file, they are way too large. Get a paint or photo program and convert the TGA file to a JPG about 30kb in size. Any smaller and the image degrades too much (at least for me).

Once you have the JPG screenshot uploaded to your webspace, determine its URL. Then you can share the screenshot in one of two ways. You can put the image to display within your post by using the image code. An easy way to do this is with the image button right above the area in which you type your post. Just answer the prompts and bingo, you are done. The other way is to insert the URL of the screenshot into your post. You can do that using the http:// button near the image button I mentioned above. Again, just answer the 2 prompts. With this latter option, when the reader clicks on the link, their browser will display the screenshot only.

I hope that helps Michael.

Hullo Michiel http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif.

You can upload files here :

http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/Uploaders/MTWbeta.php3

Please turn the file into a .jpg one ,and it has to be under 2 MB (not much of a prob since a typical screenshot.jpg will only be around 50K I think).

Anyway, once uploaded, rightclick it and copy&paste the URL from the properties menu.
