Hi,

I hope this is the right thread.

I was wondering how you uploaded a screenshot in jpeg format into a PM. I am having great difficultly in doing this and wondered if anyone could shed any light.

Thanks,

Nick.

I'm not sure if you can, I would just put a link to it in the PM.

**nparkin0** · 03-17-2009, 09:55 AM

how would I put a link to it?

Because the jpeg is obviously saved on my desktop...how does this work?

Sorry to sound stupid

Thank you, that was a great help Carter

I wish you could just do it from within the forum or pm like you can at 356registry.com's forum.

like this?...

**nparkin0** · 03-17-2009, 11:22 AM

how did you manage that?

**draggar** · 03-17-2009, 11:24 AM

Image tags

(IMG)URL(/IMG)

Just replace the ( and ) with [ and ]

I'm not sure if it's limited to certain forums and/or membership levels, though.

That's exactly right, except in the forum I'm referring to (which has it's flaws), you can click a button to select the image from your desktop and it ends up in your post or pm like: http://www.356registry.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8392

They use www.postimage.org

I think that it is by design that this site doesn't allow uploads or attachments to posts - a matter of performance (and cost) involved... personally I think it's a big plus to have some sort of integrated gallery for photos directly on the site, but as mentioned, there are plenty of external image hosting sites... (flickr, imageshack, photobucket, etc)

nparkin0,

the easiest way to do it is just press the "printscreen" button on your keyboard.

Then go to http://www.uploadscreenshot.com and click the PASTE button, the image will be uploaded to a page like this:
http://www.uploadscreenshot.com/image/39564/7573357

You can then send the person that URL, or use the BB Code on the bottom of that page to embed the pic into a forum, like this:

This shows where the printscreen button is:

hth,
Gordon
