How To: Posting images

Post by ZombieCat » Mon Dec 14, 2015 10:10 am

I was asked in TS yesterday about how to post images so I am going to outline it here for anyone else wondering.

I believe the default (not on my gaming PC so cannot verify the exact location) for BnS is to save pictures in C:\Users\<Windows User Account Name>\Pictures\BNS\Screenshots. This should be the same for all computers running Windows 7 or later. Earlier OS will be different and I dont remember where the User Account pictures folder is. For Windows 7 and later you can go to the Picture folder directly in Windows Explorer without having to navigate the Users folder structure.

I have been using tinypic.com forever but it changed awhile back where you have to watch a simple ad to get a security code to upload. After a little searching I found http://postimage.org/. Free with no ads and no security code so I am going to outline how to use that.

Go to http://postimage.org/ to upload your image. It is straight forward so no need to detail that part.

Once you have uploaded your picture you will want to use the Direct Link or one of the Hotlink for Forums option.

For Direct Link, click Copy to Clipboard button right next to the link. In the forum post editor click Img button then Ctl + V to paste the link. All done :)

For Hotlink you can just paste the link directly into the forum post editor. Both Hotlink 1 and 2 wraps the image link in a URL tag that will lead back to postimage.org. Hotlink 2 goes a step further and adds image hoster text to the URL.

Which ioption is better? I will be using direct link as I do not like the image becoming a URL but that is just me.

Thanks ZombieCat! I personally just upload the pictures to my facebook in a private folder, and use the URL from there which seemed to work for me on this forum in our Costume Pictures thread.

I never thought of using a private folder on Facebook. Seems there is a million ways to do it :)

Yeah, I'm sure there are a few ways to get photo's/screenshots on here. I personally use photobucket
