We don't want to abuse this privlidge do we? Of course not, So I recommend the following UPDATED guide lines, Basicly, Im gonna suggest we do it the way flightsim.com does, Only the Res can be 800x600 min, so heres the new guidelines:1. resizing it to less than 800 x 600 (preferably)
2. Making it a .jpg under 100k (or it won't post if it's oversize)
3. Any train sim game is fine, Train master, Trainz, MSTS, anythingTo upload the shots, Go about posting a thread, but click the link near the bottom that says "Click here to choose your file" when the box pops-up click the jpg option, and hit browse, after you have selected a file, hit Upload!Now what? After the picture has been uploaded add this to your msg<cut after this>http://www.train-sim.com/dcforum/User_files/???
*there's a _ underscore between User_filesReplace the ???'s with the name of the uploaded file (cut n' paste)(remember it will be changed from what you named it into a random string of letters and numbers) and make sure the box that says attachment is cleared or the image will post twiceHit preview to see how it'll look, repeat these steps to add more pictures to msg*Yes, you can just do it by uploading them and keeping them as attachments, but IMHO it looks better to upload and link.*Also remember that you can link to pictures on your own site, without the hassle of uploading hereHappy Screen shooting!Here's a excellent link for learning how to make great looking screen shots
