Not sure if this should be on DAK, but my question is how can I post a screenshot?

You have to find a site to host it, then use a link to that site. Suggestions will doubtless follow. C.

What I do is to save the screenshot as a file onto my desktop computer then open up a free ftp client (Filezilla) and use that to copy the file into a public part of a domain I own (just for consistency of email address across internet service provider changes) then generate a URL to that file and post it here.

Hi CK,

I wrote a set of (hopefully!) simple instructions here -

Posting images, or links to images, via the Imgur hosting site - https://www.lemonfool.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=11255

Have a read of that and please just ask if anything isn't clear...

Don't forget that we've got a 'Test Board' available, that gets regularly flushed and cleaned out, so you can have a risk-free play to check your image-posting process is working OK before you post 'properly' in the intended destination board -

'Testing 123' Board - https://www.lemonfool.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=28

Great tip thanks.

Is there a way to set the displayed image size for an inline (img tag) image?
It looks like the BBCode for this would normally be , but this doesn't seem to work here?

I don't think so without changes. I experimented with this an age ago. You could ask stooz to add it to his to do list.

I don't think there is currently.

I've had this issue in the past though, where I've looked at the original image I've wanted to show and thought 'It's just too big...', and I've then used the in-browser ZOOM feature (usually CTRL and - or CTRL and +) to re-size the original image before I've took a snapshot of it, and then carried on as normal, and it's usually then worked fine for those fairly rare 'original image too big' situations...

Not as good a solution as a perhaps more granular 'img size=xxx' solution, but it's something, and usually enough to give a satisfactory outcome...
