How to "deeplink"

[xwingyoda]

Guys and gals,

Here is a really short tutorial on how to deeplink pics directly in the post ;-)

Step 1: How to Deeplink

First, the link needs to end in .jpg

Usually you will deeplink from your Brickshelf gallery: click on the pic you want to deeplink until it ends on .jpg like on the following pic (I circlred it in red ;-) )

Step 2: How to use it in the post

Another really easy action ;-)

a) press on th icon circled in green

b) the box circled in red appears: just copy/paste the deeplink (step1) into that box and press on OK

A side note: deeplinks work even if the Brickshelf gallery is not moderated yet ;-)

Excellent work Armada Yoda! I was thinking about making something like but you've bet me to it. Obviously you've visited the Pirate Forum lately and seen where a tutorial for this has been needed!.

Mine still isnt working :'-(

can you put pics from flickr on this site?

[Starwars4J]

It should, just try right clicking on the image and going to "View Image" or something of the like. As long as the link ends in .jpg

[Brickmaster]

Do they have to end in jpg, or just highly reccomended?

[Hinckley]

any picture format will work. One isn't recommended over another. I think SW4J was making sure the link wasn't dynamic. It can't be a script or an html or asp, etc file... Sometimes photo link properties from photo sharing sites are scripts that call the files from a database...

[Brickmaster]

Ah, thank you Mr. Hinck!

(Am looking to upload some pictures of my latest moc's soon)

Yeah, I just said .jpg since that's far and away the most common format that you see people upload pictures in, but as Hinckley said any is fine :-)

...but BMP really should be avoided as they can be over 10 times as big...
