Ok, newbie to this forum and I need some help...

How do you post images?

[b]How do I upload files to CFC via the Easy Upload feature?[/b]
[list][*]At the bottom of each page there is a link to the upload feature:

[img]http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads/upload2.jpg

[*]Clicking this will give you the following window:

Simply click on 'browse' (where it says 'Durchsuchen' in the screenshot), find the file you want to upload on your PC. You can upload up to three files at a time. Allowed file types are:
[*]*.zip[*]*.jpg[*]*.sav[*]*.gif[*]*.txt[*]*.pcx[*]*.jpeg[*]*.ace[*]*.net

The file size limit for this easy upload is 3 MB. If your file is bigger than 3 MB, you can split it into smaller files. If a file with the same file name already exists, your file will be renamed. Example: If you want to upload a file call civ.jpeg and the file already exists, your file will be renamed to civ1.jpeg
[/list]

How do I link to uploaded files?

• simply type in your post:
  http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads2/filename.ext

How can I post several pictures in one post?

You have to upload the pictures to the File Server via the easy upload feature. Then you have to place links to them into your post.

There are two different ways to do so:

If you use the 'Reply To' button or are posting a new thread, you can click the 'IMG' button over the messge window, then simply type:

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads3/filename.ext

into the pop-up window. note that the link will be placed at the end of all text you already typed, maybe you will have to cut and paste it to the proper location.

If you are using the Quick Reply window, you cannot access the 'IMG' button. Instead, type:

[img#]http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads3/fielaname.ext[/#img]

without the #s.

If you have several images, it is easier to copy and paste the line, then change the filename rather than typing it all out again and again.

Currently, we at CivFanatics are on the Uploads 4 folder. This will change from time to time, so please makes sure that you are linking to the correct uploads folder when tagging an image.

1) First you'll need to upload them to the Net. CFC has its own upload server; link to which is somewhere near the end of every forum page called 'Upload File'.

2) Then in your post, use the img tags to link to the url address of your uploaded pix. E.g. [*img]http://civfanatics/uploads6/xxx.jpg [*/img] without the *; xxx.jpg being the name of your file for example.



Edit : Darn crosspost...

 

[Sir Len Taft]

Thanks...I knew there were soemthing I had forgotten. I never tried to do it before and when I was supposed to...my mind went blank.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

No problem.

Happy posting and welcome to CFC.

Or, of course, you can attach an image to your post, but that way you can't post more than 1 image at a time.

And it has to be less than 100k if you attach it.

 

[Ankka]

So small? I thought it was a bit bigger, but I guess I was wrong...

It used to be larger but then it was reduced, perhaps to make people more considerate when uploading things.
