How do I upload a picture on to my post?

[KukriKhan]

1. find an image you want to insert

2. go to https://photobucket.com/ to upload it (there are others; search google for free image hosting).

3. Once uploaded, right-click the image, then left-click "properties" on the options menu. See the URL (starts with 'http:')? Copy that (left-click and hold at the beginning of 'http', drag your cursor to the end of the URL so that it is highlighted; let go of the left mouse button. Right-click the highlighted URL, then left-click 'copy' from the menu).

4. Make your post here. Type whatever words you want, and when it is time to put the image in, type [ then 'img' without the quote marks, then ]. Right-click after ] and left-click 'paste'. Now the image URL appears.

5. Type [ again, then slash '/img' (no quotes), then ]

For practice, go here:
https://jimcee.homestead.com/index.html
its one of my sites with images I have used here. It's OK to practice here in the Entrance Hall. Once you have the 'hang' of it, we'll delete the post.

where does RTW save the screenshots when you press PrintScreen. I looked in C:ProgramFiles\RTW\Data\Tgas
and the folder is empty. Do i need to enable something, i have pressed printscreen a number of times and i cant find where the screenshots are saved

Also once i finally find them, how to i change their format so that they can be viewed

Thanks in advance,

Merlin

Those screenies are saved in .tga file format, in the RTW folder labelled 'TGA'.

If you have an image-processing program (like PaintShop Pro or Photoshop) switching file formats is a snap. If you don't have such a program, we have TGA viewers available in our files section (courtesy Mizu Clan server)

Well your going to need a server and a ftp program.
astuteftp is decent enough,

prohosting.com and other sites give you like 50mb of free web space,

so open an account with some 1 like that,
they will give you an adress and a password.

use astuteftp to connect to the server,

upload your pictures to there 1st,

then come back here and do

No spaces.

thanks guys, i've registered onto astutefp.. so hopefully some screenies will be along soon!

thanks for all that, I can view tgas now but I still can't find where the tgas have been saved.

I've looked at C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\tgas
and it's empty, I'm pressing the PrintScree/SysRq and the screen pauses for a split second when i do, so I know something is happening, i just cannot find where they've been saved

I have just searched for tgas in my RTW folder, and i have looked through all of them (it took alot of time ) but I can't find the screenshots I took

Now, about the screen shots...? How?

[Shambles]
