To use a screenshot from Google Earth, first you need to save it:
To post your photo or screenshot: use the "New topic" or "Post reply" button to create a post, then click the "Insert image" button: The options are:
The
image will be centered. If you wish to change this, place the cursor
before the image and select the align left (or right) button above the
posting box. Click the image and you will see
you have an option to change the image size, small, medium, large or
original size. Don't make your images too large. The old BBS
automatically resized large images to 800px wide, this one doesn't, so
if you have a large screen, remember, the image that fits nicely for you
may cause problems for others. Ideally, make sure your image is a
reasonable size first, then choose "Original size". You
may find that you need to move the image to a different position in the
text. Select it, cut it, and paste it in the desired location. Or if
you find it easier, cut and paste your text. If
you want to delete or replace the image, select it, choose remove from
the popup with the options, then insert another one if you wish. The
"Change" option will change the link behind the image, not the image
itself. If using Picasa, it's worth noting that
they offer 1 GB of free storage and images smaller than 800 x 800 pixels (2048 x 2048 if you are on Google+) do
not count towards that (Picasa help). You
can also add an image as an attachment and it will appear as a
thumbnail, with the option to view it in your browser or download it and
save it to your computer. |
