• How do you post images in these forums

  I've been wondering for a while. How do you post like a screen shot on these forums (so I can better illustrate me questions.)

  Hi Caleb!
  How To Post Images In  Discussions
  Create a Screen Shot of the image you wish to post.
  Upload the image to an online storage facility, like one of these linked to below.
  Flickr
  ImageShack
  PhotoBucket
  Twango
  Then use HTML formatting, to insert the URL of the location.
  Use this format <img src="Insert URL Here">
  Keep the images small, and unobtrusive, when possible.
  You can also just post a Link/URL, to the image location, using this format:
  <a href="Insert URL Here">Type Title Here</a>
  Have Fun!

• Problem posting images on the forum (color depth)

  I was posting an idea on CVI idea exchange board and was continuously getting a generic error ("Codice di errore: caricamento non riuscito" which means "error code: unsuccessful loading") while trying to add an image.
  After several studies and attempts I realized that the problem is not in the image size or name or whatsoever element but rather in the color depth: it arises with 32-bit images, while you can post 24-bit images without problems. This applies to other forum boards as well (just tested on CVI board and this actual message), I suppose it is a general rule.
  I don't seem to have noted any note on this in the forum help: there exists some documentation on which objects the forums accept as attachments? You know: file types, image types and characteristics, object sizes and so on...
  Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

  Greetings SiobhanF,
  Can you please advise HP's preferred method of posting images/pictorial essay of steps tried for solution in query made by posting members!
  Many thanks in advance...
  Click the "Insert Image" icon up in the tool bar when you compose a reply.  It's immediately to the right of the "Insert Link" icon that looks like a chain link.
  Some images have to wait for Moderators to clear them.  This is to prevent users from posting obscene photos, etc.

• What exactly does a new poster have to do to get permission to post images?

  Recently there was a forum update that disabled new posters to add images
  (AND links?) Supposedly this was to reduce spam. So far so good.
  Not surprisingly, immediately after the update we have numerous posts in the Forums Issues forum complaining about this feature and no doubt plenty of users just submitting to this policy in silence.
  This whole feature is a SEVERE (that's right. bold AND in caps) hindrance. I don't have the stats, but I'm sure a considerable percentage of
  (non spam) original posts are from new users with no previous forum activity. Pictures are especially important in the Chart Control forum as visualization is what charting is all about.
  (This is the forum I frequent. So yes, I'm biased.)
  Ofcourse, I'm sure the forum developers have weighed the pros and cons and studied the stats and then decided what to do after serious consideration...
  The question is: What exactly does a new poster have to do to get permission to post images? Wait for how long? Reply to a confirmation email? "Participate" more?
  (Say it ain't so.) How much more?
  If there really is a workaround by adding an image tag with the edit html button, I don't want to hear it. It's as silly a way to add images as in the before times, the long long ago.
  (Also, if this is possible, this whole restriction feature is actually worse than useless. Spammers will exploit this sooner than later. (A very good point made by our dear friend Quincy in a post that has since been deleted it
  seems.))

  I believe answering that question defeats the purpose of having the "feature".
  I suspected as much.
  I was hoping to add some explanation to the chart forum FAQ, I guess "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account."
  (if this really is the only message new posters get) will have to do.
  I still feel this is more of a hindrance to the quality of the forums than not. As confirmed it seems by Naomi, spammers already have a workaround.
  Sipla, it sounds like we should add this FAQ to this article:
  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/7359.forums-help-faq-en-us.aspx
  What do you suggest?
  What does the message say to the user who cannot post links and images yet? We should map to that language.
  Thanks!

  It says "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account."
  If this means you will get a verify email, then you should get a verify email.  The message infers that either action will be taken by the forum mods that will be apparent to the user or that the user needs to take some sort of action. 
  If this is not the case, the wording needs to be changed; it should not mislead you.  This is an incredibly vague status message.
  I do not have any record of a verify email in my inbox history.  All I have is an email this morning from MSDN Site Support (I also posted a request yesterday in MSDN Site Feedback) asking me which account I needed verified.  I only have one account. 
  Almost immediately after I replied, I was able to post links and photos.  Honestly I do not know which came first though, the "verification" or my reply to the email or someone noticing the thread about compaining about it a month after signing up.

  Like others have posted, Firefox suddenly stopped loading images posted in blogs and forums. I have checked load images automatically and it is checked. I have tried the other help topics to no avail. I started Firefox in safemode and it worked but not after exiting safemode.

• Can't post to User Tips forum

  Though I can post replies or topics elsewhere, I can't post to User Tips Forum.
  Thanks RS

  You need to be at least Level 2 to submit a suggested User Tip; this is done by going to the User Tips Contributions board, reading the instructions there, and then creating your tip. Tips require the approval of a host before they are added to the User Tips area, and only hosts can create threads directly in the User Tips folder.

• Why aren't I allowed to post in the iPad Forum?

  I was allowed to post in the iPhone forum but now I'm told that I'm not allowed to post in the iPad forum! What is going on here?
  EDIT.
  Disregard; I went back and tried for the 5th or 6th time and it seems to have posted. Jive software must being acting up again!

  The forum likes to log me out for no reason just before replying to posts...I'm logged in, I click on the reply button, then BAM! I'm logged out. Happens many times in a row as well within the same session. It's quite maddening.
  This could be what's happening with the OP.

• Artifacting and low resolution in poster image

  Hi, I'm having real problems with poor quality poster image/final still of video front cover.
  I have an H.264 mp4 which I created in After Effects and inserted using the Media panel within DPS.
  As you see below, it plays on page load and I have chosen the finished front cover to be the poster image when it ends from within the Folio Overlays panel. I have set the video to stop on the last page.
  When the video stops you can see all the artifacting around the text which I would expect to be as crisp as the original PSD file I uploaded as the poster image.
  Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is there anything that can improve the quality of the final still? Is the poster image even being displayed or is it the final frame of the video? (I imagine this is the case)
  I hope you can help.
  Thank you

  I've sorted it!
  Dropped the poster image altogether and recreated the movie elements as I would in InDesign on the page and the movie plays to the end and finally reveals the page underneath. I was overcomplicating things.

• Video files show very low resolution poster image

  Using Indesign CC and the latest tools and content viewer I am creating Autoplay video animations for the cover of our weekly magazine.
  With each issue I have published the same problem occurs where the poster image for the video file is very low resolution and makes our content look very amateur (for a brief moment) before playing the video file at full resolution.
  I have tried creating animations using flash, photoshop and Edge Animate, exporting MP4, MOV and OAM files. The problem is present with all movie files and with the Edge animation files a white flash appears before the file plays.
  Is there a solution for either of these issues? We are looking to continue to use animations for our covers and need them to look 100% crisp and clean.

  Sorry to jump in but I'm having the same issue too!

• Can I set a static frame (jpg or png) image as a poster image when embedding flash video into a dreamweaver page?

  hello everybody - my subject line pretty much says it all...
  i'm looking to have my users see a single static frame (a
  poster image) that they can then click on to start playing a video.
  how do i set this in either flash or dreamweaver?
  anybody have any info?
  much appreciated!

  Will the video appear in place of the image clicked on? Or
  will it be in a
  separate window?

• I cannot post hyperlinks in a forum posting field

  Running 3.6.8, I have recently been unable to post hyperlinks in a forum reply field. Any attempt to insert a Smiley results in the Smiley being pasted at the beginning of the text rather than at the cursor point. Inserting an embed link to Youtube appears to do nothing but the link is there when posted. When I perform any of the above functions, the cursor disappears from the text field but it is possible to continue inserting characters 'blind'. If I open an IE tab, all functions work correctly. Could this be Java-related? I have tried versions 6.0.15 through to 6.0.21 without success

• Need to remove scrollbars that appear around downlevel poster image in IE

  I have a responsive animation, so I have not played around with height and width dimensions.  Both are set to 100%/auto.  Overflow hidden or visible doesn't make a difference.  Perhaps a '"scrollbars="no"' declaration somewhere, just don't know exactly where (not a javascript programmer)? I need to resolve this issue!  Help please, anyone? Animation plays fine in all browsers with no scrollbars.  It's only the downlevel poster image that has this issue.

  The artwork has no printable border.
  What you are seeing is the artboard bounds. You can prove it to yourself by printing the document (print to PDF if you don't want to waste paper) or by changing the artboard size via File | Document Setup.
  The artwork does happen to have a rectangle that exactly coincides with the artboard size. It provides the taupish background. If you select it and look at the appearance palette, you'll see it has a fill but no stroke.

• How to get poster image (from_movie) when placing SWF file with JS?

  I am able to place the poster from movie (flv) file. SWF files seems to belong to Movie class. I can place the generic posters (standard, none and proxy_image), but not "FROM_MOVIE".
  I am getting the following error message:
  "Error 81926" "The poster image could not be changed to the requested image".
  I will attach my code (sligtly modified from the sample "placeMOVIE" which is coming with CS5) containing also code for other property settings to be tested.
  Hoping to find a good solution for this, thanks in advance!

  You can put the poster for SWF using UI Media panel as shown here. So does this mean that there is a bug in a scripting environment?

• Change the Post Moved to another Forum procedure

  When a post gets moved to another forum, and you click on the green-arrow Moved: it shows you a new screen with the new link, and info where it is moved to.
  See here and here
  Could that be changed in such a way, that when you click on the Moved: it takes you direct to that post in the new forum, without the in-between message?
  Message Edited by RealBlackStuff on 12-22-2007 10:01 AM

  I wonder if it would do what you're asking if we didn't put anything in the comment box?  I'll try that.
  I had been leaving a placeholder and filling in that comment in for now just to reinforce the idea that people should watch where they're posting in the first place.  I wasn't planning to keep doing that once things are firmly established here, and we don't leave a trail of breadcrumbs at TPF any more when we move something.  It's just clutter.
  OK, I tried not putting a comment in, and it didn't change anything.  I did find out that I can delete the placeholder, though, without deleting the moved thread.  In phpBB, deleting the placeholder dumps the whole thread.  I think that's an improvement from Lithium over phpBB.
