Posting help : GW Discussion

okay, i got a question, if i have a guide already written and hosted on my own domain... could i just give the link on submisisons board instead of Copy/pasting the guide? or will i get banned or the post locked immeadiatly , thanks

I would just copy and paste it to be safe, not that copy and paste is hard to do either

Okay, thanks im just checking its just that each time ive tried to post a screenshot it doesnt work oh well try anbd try again right?

Well i copy and pasted my guide and it worked out fine.

probably did it wrong.

Screenshot???

This is hawkeyes ( me ) screenshot guide off my guild forums

Ok a few people have asked for this so imm gonna show you how to post a image


These are the images imm going to Host and Post to show you all




Ok first of all u need the screen shots

To take a "screen shot" press the Key that has red around it



then the screen shot will save tp this fire directry

\Program Files\Guild Wars\Screens

Ok now we got our screen shot we need to make the file smaller to host as imageshack has a max image upload of about 1.24mbs

ok so we going to make it a low quality Jpg

Right click on the image file u wish to use and click "edit"

Then it will open Microsoft Paint ( a very !@#$%^&* program )

Ok so Click top left on the "file" tab then click "save as"

Then click on the icon that says "desktop"

Then Bottme center there is a pull down list

Click on that and put the save time to JPEG

Then click save

now u have a the screen shot ready to host

Ok now Load up your internet explorer ( or what ever program you use to surf the net )

and go to

http://imageshack.us

This is a Image Hosting Site - you DONT have to register but u can if you wish

Ok now to up-load our image/(s)



four steps

1. Click Browse
2.Click On The Image File On Yer DeskTop
3.Click Open
4.Click Host It

Then it may take some time but it will host that image for you

then a new page will open up with a lot of writng

Look down the page untill you see this

Direct link to image

Then theres a link to the left of that

for me its


Thats the one you "copy & Paist"

So do that - copy and paist it

then make a post u want to put the image in

Then Paist the link in

then do the first process for copy and paist but dont copy it instead click on the Img button on top of the forums



that will put the image tags on the image for you

Then your done

Click submit image and it should show yer images

What kind of newb doesn't know how to do that?

That's not a very nice thing to say...

I agree

Not many people know how post iamges

Like me.... I used to know back when I was at the forums on gaia online, but I haven't tried that kind of image hosting for a year or two.

You serious?
