hi guys how do you post pics in the forum i know its somthing to do with the image tab , but my post goes blank when i paste a pic on it :aok
-
I think first you should learn to "search" the message boards first. If you use the search function you will find out how to.paste pictures as well as finding out if your "idea" has been posted already.
-
ive been doing that since you told me too , i can only find the threads ive put on , i have some good pics i would like you too see :aok
-
Make a free photo bucket account. Upload your photo there. Save it there. Then click on the IMG code. Paste it in your thread.

It took as much effort to do this

As it did to do this:

And this was a lot friendlier.
Fugitive, I’ve found that search is not the greatest tool for find information that I’m looking for. Either getting no hits or thousands of hits, who has the time.

Either getting no hits or thousands of hits, who has the time.
Please, don't berate others on effort if you're not willing to put in some yourself.
Here: http://www.google.com/advanced_search
Works on http://bbs.hitechcreations.com quite well.

Also, my answer was designed to teach.
I could have role him how, and if I was at home on my computer I could have given him a link to a very good write up.on these boards on how to do it.
Pointing him in the right direction gives him the opportunity to learn, a good habit to get onto especially if you plan on spending any time here in this game.

I teach professionally mostly adults, some teens, and I didn’t interpret your answer as a teaching moment, and if you review his response, I don’t think he did either, and as he pointed out, Search does not always provide the correct answer.
-
Search does not always provide the correct answer.
I must confess, I've tried using the Search function here on numerous occaisions. It can be very frustrating, and sometimes quite ineffective as a method to finding an answer to a question.
That said... This particular original poster needs to temper his enthusiasm just a bit.
-
I don’t get it, how does a guy asking this:

Where is he exhibiting to much enthusiasm?
-
Fugitive has a point.
Teach a man to fish rather than give him one.
Seemed like he was having some trouble with the search function though?

He could have done both and search is not the great tool that fugitive proclaims it to be. My experience with it is that it most often returns so many hits and after reading through the first 10 or so and not finding what I wanted I ‘d look elsewhere or ask someone directly.
He could have offered the search idea as a solution but he could have offered up an answer as well.
When a starving man go to a hospital they don’t give him a book on farming, they feed him.
Your answer was perfect, simple, understandable and correct.

Pro tip. Click Search at the top of this page without putting anything in the box. Then click Advanced Search.
Now click Choose a Board to Search In. This will expand to list all the AH boards.
Deselect Check All at the bottom, then select Help and Training. Click Search in topic subjects only. Search "pictures"
Second result will be this helpful thread "inserting pictures?" http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,290718.0.html (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,290718.0.html)
Message Age is from today back, so searching 0 to 14 days is the last two weeks.
-
Fugitive, this the help and training forum. People ask questions here. If you can't give a straight answer to someone that has a legitimate question, please refrain from posting. All of us that have been here for awhile know that the search function has its... Ummm... Limitations... There's no reason to be condescending to someone that just doesn't know about the functions of the BBS.
If you want to post a response to a question like that...
Give him a break, and give him a legit answer.
EDIT: Thank you Shiv for posting an easy way for him to find what he needs using the advanced search function. :aok

The problem is with todays "i want it now" attitude. To many people want and GET everything handed to them on a silver platter. The search function works very well, if you take the time to LEARN how to use it as Shiv seems to have done.
o
Jager, as this is a "public" board with in HTCs domain, I think we can leave it up to Skuzzy and the rest of the crew to decide what is an appropriate post and what is not. In fact I believe they have a rule covering this.
The OP has been spamming the boards lately. This will only make things worst for him. Now would be a good time for him to learn how to use the search properly.

I get it. The new kid "spammed" the board with his "ideas" for "improving" the game. What self-righteous soul could stand by and simply offer answers to his questions?
Suggesting that someone "search" is more appropriate for the wishlist than the help forum where repetition is a feature not a problem.

This statement just makes you just make you seem old and petty , your much better then this. Young wiper snapper not using the boards the way I want them. Dam kids. Like it or not, them wiper snapper’s are the future.

Exactly, Skuzzy does an excellent job controlling the boards, If the OP was spamming as you say, I’m sure HTC and Co. would have put a stop to it.

Yes and so they should be guided and taught, NOT coddled and catered too.

Right. Let's not coddle anyone by simply answering their questions in the help forum. Instead we'll guide them to online resources and we'll teach them ways to seek answers to their questions. Brilliant. :lol
-

Yes and as I have already stated, your original statement did not strike me as a teaching moment, but rather callus, petty and condescending. Just plain right unfriendly. As has been pointed out by others, this is the help portion of the forum, this is where people come for help. I think the OP would have been better served with a simple correct answer to his question, the teaching moment would be if you added the information about the “Search Function” alone with providing some help to a new community member. You know, people skills.
Answering the question the way you did, appeared to me as mean spirited.

I don't know, I haven't the time to check all the boards. Whether he posts pictures is not the point of my posts. Perhaps he hasn't had the time, or perhaps he found your rudeness, condescending tone and unfriendly approach so off putting that he has left the game. I hope not, I just don’t know.
I want to be clear on this, what you refer to as your way of teaching, can hardly be called that from this example, your open contempt and lack of respect for the student shows you to be a petty man. I know now that I was wrong to think that you were better then this. That’s sad, perhaps you need time away from the boards to refocus.

This is Help & Training. No need for personal attacks. Sure Fugitive gave a snotty "use search answer" but it's a reasonable reaction when the OP is posting in as many boards as possible and seems to be looking for attention.
And if he was looking for an answer then now he's got it.

Not a personal attack, an observation. There is a difference and I believe the facts back me up. This is a BBS, a Bulletin Board, A place where people are encouraged to post. Did a new enthusiastic member go overboard and post some things he’d like to see in the game, I hope so. I hope he’s inviting all his friends to give AH a try. If the OP was abusing the boards HTC will rain them in.

Traveler, I have no idea why you have chosen to take a "ride on the Fugitive" here but lets look at some facts...
HERE (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=29697) shows his last post, which was just 6 hours before this post. So he is still here and I haven't scared him away.
HERE, (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,327141.0.html) HERE, (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,327294.0.html) HERE, (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,327347.0.html) HERE, (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,327224.0.html) HERE (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,327263.0.html) HERE, (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,327114.0.html) HERE, (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,327174.0.html) HERE, (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,327149.0.html) HERE, (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,327120.0.html) HERE (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,327336.0.html) are 10 post the OP has started in the last 4 days. 2 of which have been edited for rules violation, and the other are all things that have been asked for/talked about before on these boards and easily found using the search function. Showing that the OP hasn't learned to read the rules of this forum, nor how to use the search function. I guess both of our methods have failed to help this young man.
My job has a lot of small bits of down time. With my phone I'm able to spend a lot of time reading the boards. I have read every post the OP has posted and have only posted in 3 of the 16 posts he has started, HERE, (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,326963.msg4279232.html#msg4279232) and HERE (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,327175.msg4281980.html#msg4281980) I offer advice on how to post.

What I find rather callus, petty and condescending is your continued attempt to berate me here on the boards for an answer YOU find unacceptable. While my answer may have seemed heavy handed it was meant as a teaching moment and advise. A lot of people learn by doing. Had the OP taken may advise and used the search function there by learning as doing, he not only would have found the answers he was looking for but would have learn how to use the search function in a way that even with it's seeming limitation can STILL be used effectively to find the answers available here on these boards.
The OP has proven he doesn't want help, just the answers on a silver platter. I prefer to help those willing to put in the time and effort. If they prove to not be willing to do so, then I am not going to waste my time in continually holding their hand. You as a teacher are paid to "continue", I am not.
I'm done here, while I'm sure I will continue to read posts here I'm not going to respond. I would appreciate you getting off my ankle. Thank-you.

It wasn't just me that found your approach to be more then heavy handed. You may want to think about that.

For what it's worth, I just did a search for "images pictures" and low and behold I found this thread:

Was the 6th item listed. And by the way, thats an old thread, don't break a rule and punt it.

Don't suppose you tried a search for "images pictures" in help forum?
Now the above link did work for me when I previewed it, right before I spell checked it, which passed with flying colors except the link, which always has errors, and 'fubar.'
I just tested my original link, works for me.

Yes, the link show above works, but when the answer is not in that link, it's contained in a new and different link within the one you posted. When you attempt to follow that link, it ends in a dead end.

yes it is a classic help thread, however it does not answer the OP's original question, it point to a new and defferent thread, when you click on that link, it links to a dead end.

You don't need the link. The thread answers the question twice.
You have to upload them to a site. Like Photobucket. Then you copy the address for the Picture. Hit the IMG button when you go to post, and paste that address. It should come up.
Photobucket has a thing that automaticly puts the "IMG" code around it.
And
When you take a picture in game buy using the Alt S function it is saved in your Aces High file. To access these images you go to My computer > Local C disk > Program Files > HTC > Aces High then scroll down to view your pictures.
Now next you will need to upload images onto a hosting site. I just www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com) it is free and easy. You will need to register and create your own account. Once your account is created click on upload. After clicking upload, browse your computer for the image you want to upload. Click on the file after you have found it and upload it to the image hosting site. Once it is uploaded click on the URL it gives you and copy and paste it into what ever thread you want. This should work.

And
I was not the OP, I already know how to post pics thanks. I was commenting on the difficulty some have with using the search tool, that is does not always provide the answer one is looking for. Sorry when I quickly read through the thread, I did not spot a solution being provided. I then attempted to go to the link and that is where I hit the dead end.
By now the answer for the OP has been provided several time over and I hope the OP was able to make use of the information provided by everyone.
