How to post images & trophy shots on the forum

Post by Tod1d »

Adding an image to a post (from the phpBB BBCode guide)

Image
  • phpBB BBCode incorporates a tag for including images in your posts. Two very important things to remember when using this tag are: many users do not appreciate lots of images being shown in posts and secondly the image you display must already be available on the internet (it cannot exist only on your computer for example, unless you run a webserver!). To display an image you must surround the URL pointing to the image with tags. For example:

    Code: Select all

    [img]https://www.phpbb.com/theme/images/logos/blue/160x52.png[/img]
    As noted in the URL section above you can wrap an image in a tag if you wish, e.g.

    Code: Select all

    [url=https://www.phpbb.com/][img]https://www.phpbb.com/theme/images/logos/blue/160x52.png[/img][/url]
    
    would generate:

    Image
Image

This forum has an image size limit of 960 pixels wide. If your image is larger than 960px, you can post it using the Image[/code]

Will resize the image to 960px wide, and wrap it with a [url] tag to the full sized image.

Posting a Trophy Shot

From scoresheet with trophy shot or gallery:
  1. Click on the thumbnail image
  2. Chrome: Right-Click on the image that pops up, and select "Copy Image URL"
    Internet Explorer: Right-Click -> Properties, Copy the URL (You can also "Copy Shortcut" from the thumbnail image)
  3. Paste the URL between [bigimg] tags (paste the URL, select the [bigimg] button)
It's "Tod", with one bloody 'd'!
