Do you know how to Link External Image to Show in this site? without uploading? [http://www.link.com [img:http://www.img.jpg|text]]] [[User:RED|[img:http://www.img.jpg|text]]]]

• There's no reason to externally link an image. If it belongs on the site, it should be uploaded. Otherwise, it probably shouldn't be linked. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:25, 7 March 2007 (EST)
  • All images should be uploaded to the site.--Hardvice (talk) 13:58, 7 March 2007 (EST)
    • What Hardvice said. There's no reason to link an image. However, if your linking a website, type this: [[http://www.example.com link title] Heroe 11:04, 11 March 2007 (EDT)
      • • I just noticed you moved this from my archive. You're not suposed to do that! >:( Heroe 11:06, 11 March 2007 (EDT)

Screencaps part 2

If you use the screencap site, click on the picture. A bigger version will pop up, and that's the one that would be best to upload. Also, the one thing I didn't mention earlier is using the screencaps from that site also requires that you remove the website name and watermark from the picture. You can get most by cropping, but after that, ya gotta photoshop, smudge, or somehow fanagle the pic. If you can't get it perfectly, that's fine, somebody else will take care of it... But it is a good idea to get the full-size pic. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 11:04, 9 March 2007 (EST)

• I'd also add that, if you're using a digital file, either transferred from a DVR or downloaded from a P2P site, I can't endorse a piece of software called Virtual Dub highly enough. It lets you step through the file frame-by-frame, and there are literally dozens of filters available to allow you to do anything from color and gamma correction to resizing and cropping to dewatermarking on the fly. You can even export clips in just about any format, including animated GIFs. It's pretty amazing software, and it's free.--Hardvice (talk) 13:52, 9 March 2007 (EST)
  • Hardvice, you should really get an endorsement package from Virtual Dub. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:33, 9 March 2007 (EST)

Location links on place portals

Hey, Heroe. Just so you know, all the place portals are really cool -- they will link the location if it exists, but will stay black if it doesn't. That way, you can put "Unknown" if you wanted, or a non-linked place (as in the case of Auschwitz, which is in Poland). Adding the links as you did doesn't hurt at all -- I just want to let you know for future reference, so you understand why they're black and not linked. Thanks for all your hard work, as usual! :) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
