G'day whines, I'm posting a 'How to post images in your project' so that your images will look perfect every time. Direct posting images in any thread is easy yes, but the more pro way to do it is in the instructions. They will load faster and
saint won't have to invest in even more Terabytes of storage too soon.
The 10 steps may look involved but once you get used to it it's really quick. I open two tabs in my browser to make it even quicker.
Steps to post pictures in your project thread:
1. Store your original images in a folder on your pc
C:\users\user\pictures\MyProject\cab_01.jpg2. Resize your images in MSPaint to around 1000 x 562 px
3. Save the resized image into a folder in your MyProject folder e.g.
C:\users\user\pictures\MyProject\low_res\cab_01.jpg4. Open the thread for storing images on the forum
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,164992.40.html5. Start a new post by clicking the Reply button, you will need to type something in the post for it to work, even just a character will do.
6. Click ‘Attachments and other options’ at the bottom of the post and browse to the folder on your PC with your re-sized images in it. You can add up to eight attachments in one post.
7. When you have added all the images you want click the Post button.
8. In your new post, right click any image and choose ‘Copy image link’
9. Go to your project thread on the forum and in your latest post, click the ‘Insert Image’ icon just above the text window.
10. Paste the link you copied in the middle of the code to look like this:
You could add sizing edits as Gilrock suggests but just re-sizing and saving in MSPaint will remove any weird formatting in the image and fix distortion issues.
