Title: Inserting Screenshots
Post by: GoBeavs on January 15, 2009, 10:09:47 AM
I would really like to be able to attach or insert a screenshot into my post.  Can you please advise me on the best way to do this in the forum?

Thanx

Right now the only way to share screenshots is to use insert an attachment into your post. You just need to save the screenshot and add the file as an attachment to the post.  Click Additional Options... and it will give you the opportunity to add files as attachments.

I'm working on a way to be able to insert pictures directly into the post.  I would like to give each user some space on the website to upload to and then be able to hotlink the picture directly into the body of their post. The code is still under construction.

The image uploader is working now.  Go to www.uploader.pointcloud.us (http://www.uploader.pointcloud.us) and register with the same username.  From there you can upload images and create image tags that you can insert directly into your post like this:

I will work on creating a how-to guide to avoid confusion.   Also I would recommend ScreenHunter 5 (http://www.wisdom-soft.com/sh/index.htm (http://www.wisdom-soft.com/sh/index.htm)) as a free screencapture program instead of Print Screen.
