Re: How do you get images onto forums

Use the [img]and[/img] tags and paste the image's URL in-between  smile

Eg:

Code:

[img]http://info.scratch.mit.edu/sites/infoscratch.media.mit.edu/files/image/logo2modify.png[/img]

Produces
http://info.scratch.mit.edu/sites/infoscratch.media.mit.edu/files/image/logo2modify.png.


Also, this would probably be better in all about Scratch rather than advanced topics.

How do you mean?

If you're looking at the icon, don't worry - double click on it and it'll become full-sized.

Are you sure you weren't zoomed in when you saved it? What did it make tiny? Can you describe the situation fully, because otherwise I can't quite help you...

Also, I'm going to be moving this to All About Scratch - it doesn't belong in Advanced Topics.

Re: How do you get images onto forums

The canvas is probably too big, meaning it saves a bunch of white space and automatically shrinks on the forums to fit the post. To fix it, open it in paint and look around the edges of the image, you'll notice some white dots in the corners and edges. Drag the white dots until it that it fits the sprite and there's no excess white space, then save it and upload it again.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
