Importing images onto Forums

 

 

Preparation for image

     

You'll want to download some kind of on-screen capture application. The simplest to use would be Gyazo or Lightshots. You can also use Imgur as an alternative if neither of the two listed work. Another reason why Gyazo is great, it comes with a Capture GIF mode, allowing you to capture up to ~10 seconds of video.

 

Links for these three applications

NOTE; THE EXAMPLE BELOW IS USING GYAZO

 

How to import image into forums 

 

Step 1: Hold "Control" "Shift" and then hit the letter C. Your mouse will turn into a cross hair and you will be allowed to drag it and highlight on your screen what you would like to screenshot. You will need to hold down your left mouse click and drag all simultaneously. Once you are set on what image you want on your screen simply let go on the mouse left click. Another way to do this is to go onto your computers task bar and Right click the Gyazo task icon and hit "Capture image". 

 

 

Step 2: At this point your home browser should open and start to load you image through Gyazo.com. Note; You can Sign in and make an account to save all your previous screenshots. After the image as loaded you should just see your image on your screen. Right click the image and your gonna want to hit "Copy Image Address".
 

 

Step 3: Once you have Copied the image's address go onto your forums post or comment and you'll see a little green icon up in your comment box's hot bar. 

Click the box with the green circle with a white trim and a location for a URL will be displayed. Post your image address in this box and then hit Enter or "Ok".

 

Step 4: If you wanted to add say drawing or markings on the image, you simply would just save the image after screenshotting it to your computer then re open it in paint, do your markings then re screenshot it using Gyazo. Repeat steps 2 and 3 after this process.

 

Note; If you are posting a video or simply just a image URL you can just copy and paste it into the comment text box and post the topic as is. The steps above are only for if you want the image to appear without clicking an external link.

I'm surprised this guide wasn't created at a earlier time, nevertheless thank you J boogs . If I could throw in some advice, be wary of what colors you decide to use as it's quite an imperative factor to take into consideration. I mainly stick to the default/white color, but then yet again that is my personal preference.

 

Also, using spoilers on the odd occasion isn't too to bad of an idea, depends on the length of your topic however.

Great over all job!

Looking forward to seeing your method of posting images into the forums.

I'm 95% certain this is the most preferred method or if not one of the easiest.

But as Moral mentioned, I'm interested to see what you can bring to the table.

[CronLad]

So many posts with gyazo links instead of just putting the image in the post itself. Hopefully this helps to change that.
