Well, it seems I didn't know where else to post this, so here goes:

If I were to save a screenshot as a jpeg, could I upload it to Simviation and, when using the 'insert image' button in a post, would I still need the .jpg extension?
Cheers,
Charlie  ;)

that's a very short answer...

Nope



and the  ;D is extra

and so was the last sentence and this one.....

I think, yes, if I understand your question... I often use the cheat of copying the exact filename I've used from the box where you select the file to upload...

Yes to both questions. Make sure the image complies with the forum requirements on the Image Upload page. Save the image with a name unique to you before uploading it. Bear in mind that the path used between the Insert Image brackets is case-sensitive - including the .jpg or .JPG file extension.

This is the path to your image to paste between the [img] brackets replacing the letters URL. http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/myimage.jpg

Add your own image file name to it instead of the name in italics & check that it's displaying properly by clicking on the Preview button before posting it. Make sure there are no spaces at either end of the [img] brackets. That's about all I can think of. More tips in the sticky topic in the Freeware Screenshots forum.

To prove my point (Eno once pointed this out to us)





No it isn't.....Check these shots properties


First is without the Jpg part so irmf1[/img]

When you post a picture, it should look something like this:
{img}http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/screenshot1.jpg{/img}
Only with brackets-> [ intsead of these things->}

If it's Spit's you want, it's Spit's you'll get

OK, I'll give you that but the correct way is to use the full extension. Surely that shouldn't be too difficult.

Oh darn you people!! I REALLY WANT THE RA SPIT!!!!!

Anyway, thanks for the tips guys!

P.S.

OK, I'll give you that but the correct way is to use the full extension. Surely that shouldn't be too difficult.

I was just thinking whether it would increase the quality of the pictures or not, because if you saved it as a jpeg file adn uploaded it and used it as a .JPG image, would that be a doubly-JPEG'd image??

Moving on.......  ;D

Nah but some people including me keep screwing up the jpg or JPG issues..This is a solution.....I also just use the jpg but he asked if it could be done

Maybe I shouldn't tell you this as it might give people ideas but if you leave the file extension off there's no way of checking the file size without downloading the image. This could lead to unscrupulous people posting oversized images.

It must be in JPEG format. That's either .jpg or .JPG. That's the forum rules. You must use the correct case or the image won't show up.

From this moment on I shall be known as 'Mini-Charlie'
