Is there any way to turn off the 'All' option next to the list of numbers? I keep accidently clicking it when I'm trying to open the newest page on a thread, and I have to scroll through hundreds of past posts, which isn't fun.

Not that I know of.

@LT Sandpaw There is a "Go Down" button at the top of the page that bumps you straight to the bottem.

What is the most effective way to share photos in a post?

[Hickory]

Well, you use the image tags

[.img][./img]

(without the periods)

And then you copy and paste the image address into the space between.

Don't forget that it has to be the image address. Just the image won't work.

Also, if you're uploading a saved image you'll want to use a hosting service too. Imgur, Photobucket, postimage.org. All are viable ways of uploading.

Hope that helps. If you have any further questions just ask.

What do you mean by a saved image?

[Hickory]

An image that you took yourself. For example, if I had a picture of my dog on my phone that I wanted to post, then I'd upload it to a site. (some sites, like Imgur, require for you to make an account, but others, like postimage, don't.)

The site will give you a menu that allows you to pick an image, the size (should you want it to change) and sometimes family-friendly or NSFW. It's pretty easy to learn your way around.

A word of caution: Sites like Imgur are prone to being a popular hosting sites for Reddit users, which usually means inappropriate content.

Ok Thanks Sage

[James Gryphon]

Everything Sage said is correct, and adequately describes the traditional way of uploading images. Now that we're on the new forum, it's also worth mentioning that if the image is on your hard drive, I believe you could also post it up here as an attachment (provided that it's smaller than 192 kilobytes).

It depends on where you get the picture. If I'm using Google images, I need to use the image address. If I'm trying to upload stuff from my Photobucket, however, I need to copy the image.
My recommendation is to test if it works by using the "preview" option.

Ok, so I started an RP game, and for the eighth player slot it's showing up like this:
...
6)
7)

9)
...
Is there  way to make it not show up as the face?

[Jetthebinturong]

You could put a space between the 8 and the bracket.

[Cornflower MM]

Or a period, or really anything that breaks up the smiley code. (Is that the term?)

[Fatch of Southsward]

That worked! Thanks

@Fatch of Southsward Or, you can click the drop down "Attachments and Other Options" from the reply screen, and select "Don't use smileys". They then appear as 8)
