[RESOLVED] quick question

Hi everyone

Got a quick question

how do you attach an image to your post? :confused:

You need to reference an already uploaded imageon the web or on your own webserver by using the [img] tags.

[img]http://www.somesite.com/images/image1.gif[/img]

Moved from VB.NET

What I'm trying to do is upload a printscreen with a picture of a form in one of my apps

The purpose is I have a question that may need visualization.

The image has been pasted in a .doc file

When I try to place it on my post using the "manage attachments" option it gets posted like this:

[img]cases.doc[/img]

what am I doing wrong?

Save the image to a image file like *.jpg or *.gif using MS Paint or other image software. Then upload that image with your post by clicking on the Manage Attachments button during a reply post. If you attach only one imagefile it will automatically display in your post like mine below.

In addition to what the previous post stated....

If you have captured your screen, then paste it into PAINT instead of Word. Paint should by on your system. In Paint, save the image as a .jpg or gif image.

Brad!

:thumb: OK thanks guys

I think I get it now.

What I do is paste the screen into Word and "Save As Web Page" - the JPG is created in a sub-folder.

That is an interesting idea that I will have to try.

My problem is that everytime I paste something into Paint and save it as a jpg, it is always to large to post.

Got any other image editing program? When saving as JPG, you can set a higher level of compression so that the size is substantially reduced.

There is a way arround this "issue": select some region and right click on it and then select "Cpoy To..." and save it - image will be saved as bmp. Open that image and then use "Save As..." option to create jpg file (you might want to delete bmp after that).
