You want to upload some pictures?
Maybe you want to upload pictures so they can be seen on your Profile or in your Lounge.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will need to Use an "IMG" code or "Direct Link" link address. Sounds confusing? Let me explain...
First, 2 recommended websites:
---------------------------------
FOR BACKGROUNDS:
Tiny Pic - http://tinypic.com/
FOR ANYTHING ELSE:
Photobucket - http://photobucket.com/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes Photobucket adds border around the edges of your pictures or may limit the size you want, although you can remove the borders by cropping the image you want to use. I will recommend a good picture resizer in this blog as well.
PHOTOBUCKET:
----------------
***RECOMMENDED*** For safe keeping -make an account-
FIND THE DIRECT LINK CODE - http://i904.photobucket.com/albums...
**THAT IS THE THE CODE YOU WANT TO USE IN ALL SITUATIONS ON THIS BLOG**
My Example given was a picture of a star.
If I want to have that star seen on my Profile or in my Lounge here is the code you will need to use:
<img src="IMG ADDRESS">
Which as the Example is:
<img src="http://i904.photobucket.com/albums...star.gif">
... refers to the rest of the address
star.gif refers to the picture we are using (it is also the "file name")
***YOU CAN ENTER THE ABOVE CODE EXACTLY INTO YOUR "About Me" section in your Settings or you can Enter it into a section in the coding for your lounge.***
As promised - Here is a recommened Picture Resizer (WINDOWS USERS):
PIXResizer (FREE) - http://download.cnet.com/PIXresizer/3000-12511_4-10607499.html?tag=mncol;1
Try it! If you need help there are many talented Coders on Fubar.com See Here... http://fubar.com/blog/131753/532948

So you want to make some emotes in the lounge?
--------------------------------------------------------
&to% - refers to whomever you hover over in the lounge and Click "Emotes"
You can also use emotes with an apostrophe ' for Example: %to%'s
Examples:
says hi to %to%
...Will Show as Quest says hi to Quest
Go into your Longe Edit Options
Click Lounge Emotes
You will then see the following and examples and directions as well
I have made an example for you See where it says ... says to fubar shop Welcome to The Lounge!
I typed for name: Welcome
format: says to %to% Welcome to The Lounge!
Which will show you in the preview as you see === ... says to fubar shop Welcome to The Lounge!
The actual Emote will show as (if I clicked using me as an example)
Quest says to Quest Welcome to The Lounge!
**Good Luck, Be Creative & Enjoy!**
SCREEN SHOTS (SS) are great when u need to see something that someone else doesn't. In a lounge, or in reporting something to a Bouncer for example.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are numerous screen capture (screen grabber) programs for Windows and the Mac that offer more sophisticated capture capabilities.
Some programs can capture the contents of an entire scrollable window. Some people use Firefox which has a nice little Add-On called "Fireshot", which you can get here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5648/
Fireshot makes taking screen shots in a browser very easy. If you have no such programs this is how you take a screen shot using your CTRL or Fn key AND the PrtSc / Sys Rq key
Windows Users:
-----------------
Look at this keyboard...Find the PrtSc Button on your keyboard. Hold it.
Now, also find the Fn or Ctrl key (different computers it may be different so its Fn or sometimes Ctrl)
Make sure you hold the keys simultaneously (Fn AND Prt Sc) or (Ctrl AND PrtSc)
Once you take a screen shot of the computer display (by pressing Print Screen key when working with Windows operating system) it is captured as an image into your Clipboard. However, you cannot use that image without pasting it (CTRL V) into a word processing, imaging or a presentation software where you can paste it.
Once you paste the screen shot into such an application as "Paint" you can view and save it.
**Screen shots almost always compress better and look better when saved with a GIF extension (example: screenshot.gif
There is rarely a reason to save screen shots of application windows as JPEG files. The only exception is when the image contains continuous tone areas such as a photo or texture.**
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAC Users:
How to make a SS (screen Shot for for MAC OS X is not similar to a typical Windows keyboard. The way you make a Screen Shot will be different.
Look at this MAC OS Keyboard and follow the directions below:
1. Press and hold the Apple key+ Shift+ 4.
2. Once you release the keys, your mouse cursor should have changed to a + symbol
3. If this is the case, press the space bar once to turn the + symbol to a camera icon.
4. You can now use this camera to choose what you want to capture by mouse clicking once on the desired section of the screen.
5. The picture file will automatically save on your desktop.
There are some quick and effective programs that allow you to capture and edit your print screens. They have the major advantage of facilitating screen capture that requires scroll down. Some of these programs are available through the following links:
