- Open your webbrowser and go to http://www.imageshack.us
- Click on "Browse", locate your screenshot, picture, photo or any other image and click on "Upload now."
NOTE: You can upload more than 1 image at once, but I suggest you first to look how it works with just one. - Wait till page will refresh itself and shows you results (example upload):
- You see confirmation that image has been uploaded succesful, its name, thumbnail and links. You need to focus at first on 2 kinds - "Direct Link" and 2 bit different "Forum Thumbnails".
- If you are sure that image is pretty small you can copy "Direct Link" and use forum build-in IMG bb-code to post it. Result will be like that:
You can send those links also to friends in mails, instant messengers (MSN, ICQ etc.), paste on chats and at any place you want. This is basically normal link leading directly to image. When someone click it or paste it in webbrowser he will see nothing else than only this image. - ELSE use thumbnail links so it will look like (an old pic from one of my swedish friends):
Everyone who click the thumbnail will get a new window opened with full size.
- If you are sure that image is pretty small you can copy "Direct Link" and use forum build-in IMG bb-code to post it. Result will be like that:
----------------
Additionally you can use some services like http://www.tinyurl.com, so you can upload image, make direct link shorter or with custom name, copy it and paste in example in your chat window in WoW. So players don't have to alt+tab and copy letter by letter whole long chain.
