Title: Is there any way to see what your post looks like before posting? Post by: timX5 on July 16, 2019, 09:08:50 PM To have an announcement of any kind you really need to write it in this HTML format. So, prior to posting it would be nice to see what your post actually looks like, once posted, specially if you are including links, images, tables.. so on. Is there a way to do it? Thank you!

Keep in mind that as a newbie you won't be able to some of the text formatting features (including images). You can lift some of these limitations by buying a Copper rank (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2385104.msg24371150#msg24371150).

Will try again. Thank you!Title: Re: Is there any way to see what your post looks like before posting? Post by: Ryutaro on July 16, 2019, 10:41:22 PM Hmm.. did not seem to work for me.

It should work, you don't get directed to a new page, look carefully above 'Post reply' the preview should be there.Title: Re: Is there any way to see what your post looks like before posting?

I dont want to load you up with my questions, but if by any chance you'd know the limitations on image posting size or any other limitations I would greatly appreciate it. The image I am trying to post is not going through, prob because of its size. I get an error message "invalid image". The image is hosted by an image site. I looked everywhere in "Help" can not find any guideline. Title: Re: Is there any way to see what your post looks like before posting? Post by: TryNinja on July 17, 2019, 09:05:40 PM Thank you.

You need to use the image direct link.Post the link you are trying to use here. Btw, the size limit for images is 2.5mb; Title: Re: Is there any way to see what your post looks like before posting?

https://www.canva.com/design/DADf3gzBFKk/view From this post of yours: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5166280 Code: Where do I find a guideline on what the rules are in image posting? Thank you! Like I said, you need the direct link to the image. But the above isn't even a image. It's a background image (of the sneakers) with a text above it (a design you made on Canva, but didn't export it as PNG or JPG). You probably need to export the image from Canva first.

Their link is being replaced with "suspicious link removed" warning, but don't know ehen exactly it happens. OP, it seems that you also need to learn how to quote messages properly. When you quote post, you should write your text at very bottom, under [/quote] tag. Also, when you quote post with images, it would be best to remove [img] tags and just leave link to the image.

Post by: nc50lc on July 18, 2019, 02:24:27 AM I tried to get the actual image link from that banner for you but it turns out that it's not directly linked but encrypted from the server to prevent unwanted downloads.
Also, the "Legi** challenge your peers - win D**" text wasn't written to the image (shoes), it's an overlay. Just do this instead (! if canva allowed you to !):
BTW, for the OP (and other newbies), after pressing "preview" and saw that the texts are in the right format (excluding the images) you can just proceed and post it. Now visit your profile page and click "Show the last post of this person (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1146599;sa=showPosts)" and your post should show like you're a Jr.Member+ with the images displayed (just in that page / given that you've linked the right format). You're a copper member now, this wont make a difference now. |
