Title: How do you post pictures on thread?
Post by: xsweetpeaxs on October 08, 2010, 03:52:48 AM

Hiya, I don't know much about Layo's script or any script for that matter, lol, and this may be a silly question, but how do you post picture on thread? For example, Warchild's Motivational Posters. What do I type in to make the picture appear? I want to post something in my Character Development Journal but can't seem to figure how. O.o Thank you.

There's a thread on this somewhere that I got the answer from, but here's my non-tech answer.  I downloaded a program called Infranview (you might wana do a search in the forums on that name to get the thread).  Then, for screeshots I make in game, I use that program and open the file with the saved screenshot.  I'm not sure what folder they are auto saved in, but its something like "screenshots" I think.  Then you have to "save as" that file and give it a different name and save it as a jpg file.  Then you go to Layo and open your journal.  When you're editing your journal entry, at the bottom there should be a section to manage attachments.  You can browse for the folder you saved your jpg in, and then download the file.  It should appear on you post now if you preview your post.

Hope this helps *coughs* I'm about out of energy here.

When you found the picture, right click on it (if it's on the web, if not upload it to the gallery) and select copy image location. Then in the post you are making click on insert image icon (square with two mountains and a grey sun) and insert the link taking out the http:// that was there before hand. Press okay, press submit and voila!

If you happen to use IE, you do the same thing as above but select save target as, in the right click menu.

for posting links to pictures to appear in the thread, I cope the image location and paste it between the functions.

so it's be like www.website.com/mypicture.jpg

In the post window there is an icon that looks like a mountain and a sun/moon. Press that and paste your link as lonn said and you are done

I also have noticed that when you right click over a thumbnail image and copy the URL address you will post a thumbnail image (very small).  

If you actually open the image up to view full size, then right click and copy the URL image addy (you will notice image frame size is much larger then thumbnail size) that will paste a full size image instead of a tiny thumbnail image.

Just in case someone is having trouble with that one.. ;)

Just a reminder.  If you are posting images that are not your orginal work, please check with the terms of use of the site you find them on.  Posting without the permission of the owner may represent a copyright infringement or theft of intellectual property. Just because its "on the net" does not mean its up for grabs.
