Follow the guide thats what i did. I changed from tga to jpeg and that sorted me out. Takes a couple of days to upload to the org but monk sorted me out.
i've worked it all now fella-thanks for the support-it all looks a bit daunting at 1st when you look at the instructions but i seem to have successfully uploaded 2 zipped files http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/cool.gif
i'll keep checking the site for my pics but a couple of days u reckon?
monk sorted mine out within a two days http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
I just discovered a few files in the image space that don't belong there. These are Easymtu.zip (2x) and Directx-eradicator.zip.
The picture space is meant for pictures, not programs. I don't know who put them there, but they are going to be deleted if they aren't claimed. The uploaders for files can be found here.
The image in Map.zip is finally uploaded. My apologies for the long delay: it had somehow turned up in the wrong map. Please put your name in the filename next time as that allows us to track down the person who uploaded them if it goes wrong.
There seems to be some confusion about the uploaders as yet another file that doesn't belong here has been uploaded into the picture space. To the owner of ipg-1.0.2.zip: your file isn't missing, it is just in the wrong place. I cannot move it from here, so you have to reload it into the proper uploader.
Sorry Ludens, those files were uploaded by me while testing scripts and I forgot to remove them.
Ah, I was worried that someone had used the wrong uploader and was wondering where his files went. Are all the unaccounted files (Directx-eradicator.zip, Easymtu.zip (twice), Map.zip and ipg-1.0.2.zip) yours?Quote:

I do have a question though – what is the text capacity in one post? My PBM report is…erm…extensive (19 pages of A4 using Verdana set at only 9pts). Word count tells me its:
4,508 words or 25,322 characters including spaces.
So, how many posts do I need?
Not sure about the technical limitations, but I think the best way to think about it is to break posts up into sections of a book chapter. I would not make any single post longer than your battle story, for example. And about 6 screenshots per post would be an upper limit.Quote:

I'm looking forward to reading it.
Nice pictures, Braden! I uploaded them all to the patron's folder. There was one picture, "BradenPBMSeleucidpic5.JPG", that was too big, but I resized it and uploaded it again. Incidentally, you need not have decreased the size that much. According to PSP your pictures were 50% of an R:TW screenshot; the official guideline is 70%.Quote:

Sufice to say, FBE got twenty-eight pages of her R:TW guide in one post, so I think your story should pose no problems. If you want to be sure, just split it in two parts.
“Nice pictures” – Thanks, ahhh…the beauty of MINIMAL:UI.
“Incidentally, you need not have decreased the size that much. According to PSP your pictures were 50% of an R:TW screenshot; the official guideline is 70%” – Yeah, read that too late. Besides I’m a lazzzyy man and 50 was the first number I came up with. I’ll resize the last few to 70% and upload them at the weekend.
With a view to making it easy to read I’ll do a few posts starting today.
Edit - Done my first posts and the screens are not appearing directly on the posts – only the links (Which work).
How do I get the pictures to appear directly on the post like the other posters have??
I don't know which options you have selected in your user CP, but if you use the standard (as opposed to the basic) message editor interface there is an image button on the top row of tools. Click it and paste the image link into the text bar. Or you can manually insert image tags. If you type:Quote:

I'll review my posts as I used the "hyperlink" button as you suggest but I think, somehow, it put instruction down wrong.
Thanks for the detail
Edit - Yeeeehhhhaaa! It works, thanks. Was using the wrong button, I needed to use the small picture of mountains not the hyperlink! D'oh!
All posts adjusted and upto date, more over the weekend to finish off.....
Because nobody save myself seems to use the uploader anymore it becomes rather pointless for me to check it twice a day. Instead, when you have uploaded your pictures, warn me through PM and I will move them to the public folder at the earliest possible moment. I think this will save everyone time.
