      IRC Nickname: DG_Keanu Group: Council Posts: 4782 Member No.: 2033 Joined: August 25, 2009 Total Events Attended: 173    | Just a few points I want to suggest when making recaps. - Please add the date of the event in the topic description, this is really helpful. - Don't upload screenshots with SK - they don't show up for everyone. Imageshack, or Photobucket ideally. - PNG is the ideal image format. JPG is acceptable. No BMPs or anything like that. - Please crop images equally. Cutting off start menu/browser toolbars to show just the mainframe is fine. Nothing excessive like unequal sections of the game window. This is because a majority of screenshots will be used in our website galleries, and the thumbnails will be resized to a 100px width, but the aspect ratio kept. THIS looks good:  THIS does NOT:  - If a separate topic is made for a recap, add a link to the recap in the original topic's main post. That's all, thanks  --------------------  [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||

 IRC Nickname: Kcross|RDC Group: Banned Posts: 2535 Member No.: 1723 Joined: February 16, 2009 Total Events Attended: 202 | I play using the resizable screen, so if I take a screenshot with my full RS screen showing your precious aspect ratio will be screwed over. Damn, looks like I shouldn't even bother taking screenshots anymore. -------------------- Kcross73 – KevCross – Kevin Proud Trial Guardian: December 24, 2009 – January 10, 2010 Proud Guardian: January 10, 2010 – February 13, 2010 Proud Event Leader: February 13, 2010 – November 27, 2010 Proud Council: November 27, 2010 – July 5, 2011 | ||

I don't mind a resizeable. I play 1280x800 myself. As long as they're consistent, it's fine. THIS doesn't work. -------------------- [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||

Anyways, just pick out the good pictures, stop making requirements to take screenshots.

 IRC Nickname: rachellove Group: Council Posts: 6955 Member No.: 173 Joined: January 31, 2008 Total Events Attended: 305 | tbh If I don't crop them they look really crappy on the forum. It might just be my skillful way of doing things. lol Good thing I mostly don't post my raid pictures. --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.

 IRC Nickname: Lefty Group: Emeritus Posts: 3340 Member No.: 1055 Joined: June 30, 2008 Total Events Attended: 211 | Download a program called ZScreen so that you can view the image and then screenshot it and host it yourself. Don't make things harder for everyone else so that things are easier for you for your projects. I know it might help, but jeez, don't make it such a big deal. --------------------      | ||

It's actually easier NOT to crop something than to crop it excessively. Dates in topic descriptions and PNG filetypes are general knowledge. -------------------- [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||
