Re: Please learn to thumbnail images
I like to use http://scrot.moe for hosting duties.
Once the image is uploaded, the "Embed Codes" tab underneath the picture has a series of links, the "Thumbnail image (linked) — BBCode" is the one I always use — just copy&paste the link directly, no need to change anything.

Re: Please learn to thumbnail images and code boxes
But it isn't a "off topic" thread , in Forum stuff & feedback
But any way, Can we add a topic, to the thread, instead of starting a whole
new topic ?
Hope the OP does not mind, but another thing that I find annoying is when
people post huge amounts of "output",..with out using code boxes,..
Actually , here I combined the 2 or three topics,
Attachments, How to post a screen shot and use code boxes
Thanks
P.S. Now I remember, maybe it isn't that important to some people,
but , if one gives it some thought , If using code boxes makes it easier to read,
and makes the output or code display correctly, well it seems to me like it
would be important to make the post as readable as possible , to help make it
more likely to get attention.
I don't usually even bother to try to read all the code or output, when the OP
does not seem to feel it is important enough to take the time,less then 1/2 second to click the code box option, and put it in code boxes.
Like wise, since some times one can copy/paste part of the code, or the error message into a search engine, and find good results.
Without code boxes, it is difficult to do that,..like wise if I want to try part of
it, as a script,... without the code boxes, the code, output or script may not
be accurate either.
look at this, with out code boxes;
Example x x: :X

Re: Please learn to thumbnail images
In perfect world people also would at least try to write grammatically correctly, not: "something is wrong w/ my puter pls help tnx". And they would use correct units instead of making them up. For instance there is no mb or gb or Kb, there is MB, GB and kB.
Re: Please learn to thumbnail images
this is an important point actually; because what really matters in the end (bandwidth!) is file size, not resolution.
that same thumb, converted from the orignal with
Code: Select all
convert ayr*png -scale 180 ayr.jpg
- only 7kB!
the full-sized image can be reduced to fit 34kB:
http://dt.iki.fi/stuff/ayr.png
this was done with pngquant, should be in the toolbox for every web developer.
and since the above example is extremely useless and ugly, here's another one:
http://dt.iki.fi/stuff/ayr-or8.png
900kB instead of 2.3MB and virtually indistinguishable from the original.

Re: Please learn to thumbnail images
If you wanted people to learn how to thumbnail images, why not do something smart like put the instructions in the first post of the thread? Why does every task on Linux have to entail reading an entire thread to find the information needed?

Because that is the way it is.Why does every task on Linux have to entail reading an entire thread to find the information needed?
If you are using "imigur", and it appears you are.
It is as simple as adding a "s" to the url:
Look at how it looks in code boxes:
Code: Select all

Re: Please learn to thumbnail images
it's called common courtesy: not everyone who's looking at a thread wants to be forced to load $RANDOM_NEWB's fullsize images.THX1138b wrote:If you wanted people to learn how to thumbnail images, why not do something smart like put the instructions in the first post of the thread? Why does every task on Linux have to entail reading an entire thread to find the information needed?
it can also destroy page formatting, depending on how good the forum software is at dealing with it.
it also pointlessly creates additional bandwidth for everybody, and, i say it again, they are not given a choice about it.
there's quite many things in this world that require learning new stuff, reading, obeying rules etc.
i wonder how you fare out there...

Re: Please learn to thumbnail images
If the admins wanted to, they could stop the oversized huge images cold :
It is a simple setting in the Posts>settings section. Still it would be better if people just learned to use thumbnails, and did their image posting in good taste, voluntarily, instead of needing to force a size limit.

Re: Please learn to thumbnail images
Sorry to jump in here and I haven't read every post in this thread but I have a question.
What would be the best image tool to use out there for accomplishing this?
I have seen some of these image sites that when you go click on the image you get pictures of girls that are kind of leaning to nudity.

Re: Please learn to thumbnail images
Yea, I know, a lot or most of them are bad that way, with the advertising.
"imgur" is the most popular one on this forum. I use my own servers to store my images.
As for "tools", my favourite and what I use is ImageMagick, the 'convert' command for resizing. Others prefer Gimp, or any of the many other graphics tools available for Debian.

Re: Please learn to thumbnail images
Yes, some of the image hosting sites are questionable at best. My radar goes up whenever I see anything offered as "free." Having said that, another poster here put me on to Postimage. When a user uploads to Postimage nine choices are presented including Thumbnail for forums.dcihon wrote:What would be the best image tool to use out there for accomplishing this?
