Takhamavahu Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Then as long as my images are within the filesize rules for how big I'm allowed to post, they will adjust to fit the template accordingly?But there's not a way for me to control how big it gets shrunk to like I could on Wikipedia or BS01. I would have to shrink the file on my own computer?Does it make a difference that my images are from a url? I did not upload them directly to BZPower, I uploaded them to Brickshelf and embedded the url.Thanks!

You shouldn't have to worry about the file size limit most of the time, but if you do go over 750kB, resizing shouldn't be too big a problem. Yes, they will adjust accordingly. If you do want to resize (if the image is pretty big, it might look pretty big even after the forum software resizes it), you will have to to shrink it personally. There isn't much of a difference, no. The image size doesn't change unless the software converts it (which shouldn't happen unless you post an image into a comment). No problem! -Rez EDIT: Also, notice that in BBC (Bionicle Based Creations), the file size limit decreases to 100kB, and the image size limit decreases to 640x640. This means you'll have to manually resize images yourself in order to post images in BBC topics. You can read more about that here, in the BBC Forum Rules and Guidelines.

Takhamavahu Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 If they are embedded urls and not uploaded directly, do I even have to worry about the file size at all? Only the dimensons would matter if someone else is hosting the image, right? Quote Flash Fire Adaptive Armour Where They All Are Tobduk Nikila Iron Wolf Artakha Adaptive Armour 2 Helryx Lariska

Only the dimensons would matter if someone else is hosting the image, right? If you embed an image URL like this, than you don't need to worry about any of the file or image size limits on BZP. The limits only apply when directly embedding an image in a comment, like this: -Rez Quote
Takhamavahu Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Is it 100kb per image or total for the whole post? I can't tell from the wording of the rules. Quote Flash Fire Adaptive Armour Where They All Are Tobduk Nikila Iron Wolf Artakha Adaptive Armour 2 Helryx Lariska

Iver Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 I can't seem to link a post to my brickshelf gallery. The window won't allow me to press OK, and when I click Cancel, the window asking me weather I want to cancel or not sends my back to the hyperlink window no matter what I do.

Reznas Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Could you give us an example? Maybe a screenshot or something? I'm not entirely sure what your issue is. Are you having trouble accessing your gallery when you link to it in a post on BZP? Or are you having trouble hyper-linking to your gallery when you are posting? -Rez Edited November 28, 2014 by Reznas Quote

Reznas Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 I'm having trouble hyperlinking. Could you paste the full link to your gallery in a post? Not a hyperlink, just the link itself. I'll try and see if I can find a problem. -Rez Quote
Iver Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=550205 Huh. It works if I just type it out in the post, but not if I use the link tool. I don't know if the gallery is public yet. Edited November 28, 2014 by Jovan2 Quote "You humans are absurd, Rook. Furious when you're not in control, terrified when you are. Pull it together."
Gatanui Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 The gallery is indeed not yet public but that shouldn't be the reason you cannot link to it. Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!
Reznas Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Link. Looks like I'm able to hyperlink it. If using the hyperlink button doesn't work for you, try adding in this code when in the BBCode editor (just click the switch on the top left of your post editor): [url=http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=550205]Insert Text Here[/url] -Rez Quote

Jobber Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 This might seem like an ignorant question to ask, but are there any rules for what you can have as a Avatar images? (I know anything profane is a big no-no). Quote

Grungemeister Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 The first page of this topic says that .gif avatars will be animated in your profile, but not in the forums. However, mine is not animated. Did I do something wrong? I can link to the picture I'm using to show that it is indeed animated: https://31.media.tumblr.com/634ce9c144cb5b11c88675658c1539df/tumblr_inline_ncwijspf6Z1rn6h0r.gif Quote A RUDE AWAKENING - A Bionicle G1 continuation and video-game project(MUSIC COMPOSER) special thx to Inary the Gunhaver for my new username.
Bfahome Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) The image was resized to 200x200 from the original 250x250; it's possible the animation was lost when this happened. Try resizing it yourself and adding it again to see if it animates then. Edited March 23, 2015 by Bfahome Quote

Prowl Nightwolf Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I was going to say, it is animating for me...

Cu Chulainn Caster Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) OK, I know this topic hasn't been touched in a while, but I need a confirmation on something. Reading the posts from earlier, I saw that to upload from your computer, you'd need to upload the picture to a hosting site of some kind and add the URL from there to put it in your post. My question is, would Google Drive be considered a valid hosting site for me to put my pictures? I tried adding the URL from there to my post, but the picture doesn't seem to show up; in its place is a little picture box that says "view", and it pops up the picture if I click on it. I guess I don't know if that's normal or not, so I just want to know if Google Drive URLs would work for adding pictures.

I've never bothered using an URL for pics, so I'm not sure if Google Drive would be viable or not. I personally find it much easier to save an image to my computer, then upload the file. No URL or hosting site needed. Quote BZPRPG Profiles
