How to correctly host a picture

[ddunit]

I'll do a new one with the new GUI.http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=34053.msg435705;topicseen#new

I hate seeing people post links, or, putting stuff on sites like tinypics and stuff. So enjoy the tut!
(I'm using imageshack, if lots of people want me to do one with photobucket, I will)

**1 step**
After you've done your picture, go on the site, http://imageshack.us
You should get something like this

**Step 2**
Now, after that, choose the "browse" button, you should get something like this:

I chose to use some stuff I practiced spriting on

**Step 3**
After you've chosen the image you want, you should get this:
[](http://img359.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tut123kb2.jpg)
Press the "Host it!" button

**Step 4 (A)**
You should get this if your image is really small:

The best to use is the hotlink for forum (1), then paste it where you want it, there you go for a small picture!!

**Step 4 (B)**
If you have a big picture, you should get this:
[](http://img167.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tut12345en1.jpg)
Click the thumbnail I directly showed to you.

**Step 5**
This should show up:
[](http://imageshack.us)
Now, right click the image and choose the option "Copy image location"
you should get something like this: http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/2074/ddunitsigqa0.jpg
Above the "angry" emoticon in your post thingy, is an image. Highlight the link to your image, and click that button with an image on it, then post.

There you go!

Misses finalisation and I for instance use Photobucket.

I think you have to register for photobucket tho O.o

Its totally worth using photobucket though.

You can actually fix your pictures, manage your files,etc.

I don't see harm of registering for photobucket…

Anyways, Very good tutorial, you should've used mspaint or any other image editing software to cut out all of the stuff you dont need in the screenshots like the start button, the firefox client at the top...your system32 folder,Pattonscape client,server, and your pictures folder, also try saving your pics as .png or .bmp it gives a better quality picture.

Nice tutorial! Should get stickied!

Yeah, I just noticed that (mostly when chakkra pointed it out for me)
