Uploading pictures here is easy but might be a bit confusing? Here's how to make your uploaded pics show full size and not just a thumbnail:

1. At the bottom of the post editor, drag a photo from your computer and drop it in the rectangular box. It (they) will automatically upload.
   
2. Ignore the option to add your picture to your post.
   
3. Preview your post. You will see a thumbnail at the bottom.
   
4. Click the thumbnail - it should open in a new tab
   
5. Copy the URL from the address bar in your browser of your photo
   
6. Back in the post editor, click the picture icon in the toolbar and paste in the URL
   

That's it! Your image is now enbiggened!

If you don't want to click the picture icon, you can past the URL straight into your post if you manually add the bbcode IMG tags.

You can also display images from other sources.

Another tip about posting that might be confusing?
> If you click REPLY to a post, it will quote that post
> If you click NEW REPLY it will create an empty post

* If you're quoting and it looks weird, click the View Source button at the right of the toolbar.
* If you click on your name up in the header and go to the UserCP, there's an option to always view source

Rate and Add Thank You
> Adding a rating counts toward a user's reputation. Adding a comment is not necessary
> Adding a Thank You is a like or acknowledgment

Use these however you like, do both if you desire but I personally give more weight to rate and use for the things that are important or really great.]]> First of all, welcome to Rogue Nation!

As you know, our smilies have always ranked amongst the best ones out there.

For those of you not yet acquainted to our little friends, here's how it goes:

When you click on [get more] under the smilies box:




A pop up window shows up with more of them, like this one:





Now, if you slide the bar at the bottom of that pop up box, you will find a second row of them on the right side:





Here's another hint, for Shoutbox lovers, the :__identification____: on the right side of the smilie will automatically change that id into the smilie you want to show in your Shout...


NOW,


I'm about to be uploading the bigger ones but before I do...


IT'S TIME FOR THE ALL TIME ROGUE NATION SMILIE SCAVENGER HUNT:


Are there any smilies you'd like to suggest that we should we carry?

Are there any smilies you'd wish we have?


Post them as a reply, in this thread here and if it's possible, we'll upload them.

The amount of smilies we can carry is pretty much unlimited but the size matters. We can always resize suggestions though.


GO FOR IT !!!

HUNTING SEASON IS OPEN !!!

Giving a Thank You is special. Sometimes, a thread or a post deserves more than a +2 rating or a 5 stars header.

Never wished that if you could give that post or that thread a million rates or a million stars, you would?

THAT is why the new Thank You system exists.

It's that little extra mile that says "Hey....I really, really, really liked what I've just read!!"

Icon on the bottom right side of the reply box. 'Add Thank You'.

The Thank You leaves a nice announcement underneath the post and the user receiving the Thank You gets an alert about it.

When you go into the Memberlist, check out your name, it will tell you how many Thank Yous you've given and how many you've received.

Much like the Applause system on other sites, except that the system here is open to all members and not restricted to Staff only.

This is what I do to post images and gifs in threads or posts. I use IMGUR but they now ask for a phone number when you register and some peeps aren't at ease with that request.

As an alternative, I've installed a link at the very bottom of the index/home page for a third party image hosting server:





Freeimage is free, easy to register to and here is a little tutorial on how it works with our MyBB platform:

1 - Save your image or gif to your desktop so that it's easy to find.

2 - Then you can either drag and drop your image or gif OR you can click on the start uploading button.

3 - Now that you can see your image or gif, just click upload:





Your picture has now been uploaded and this is what you should see now:





In the Embed codes dropdown menu, select BBCode full, as shown here:





Now when you hover over the box underneath BBCode full, a copy button will appear:





Click on the copy button and you are now ready to paste that image in a thread or a post.

I use ( ctrl v ) Or Control V to paste it. Now you image shows up, like this:






Same goes for a gif, like this:




Once you get used to it, it's very repetitive in action so it becomes quick and easy.


Try it... use this thread as a test thread. 

It's fun to see full images or gifs instead of little attachments.

Enjoy !!

Here are a few tips on finding stuff - and this place is filled with stuff - but I'll show you the main ones for now..

1 - When you click on your username on the top right corner, you will get this:



This is where you get to your UserCP, or directly change your avatar (maximum dimensions are 150px X 150px), change your signature, see if you have alerts (white means no, red means yes and then clicking on it will get a window to pop up) and finally, one of the places where you can log out.

2 - Home



This is where you will find the Shoutbox and Recent Threads.

3 - Portal



The Portal is where - on your right hand side - you will find New Posts, Today's Posts and if you got any PMs but trust me, if you get a PM, you won't miss it LOL

New Posts - Today's Posts and PMs:

Exactly how I found THIS feature.

To see ALL threads, hover over the Recent Threads on the index page, like this:




It says 'Show More Threads'... now click on   ~ Recent Threads ~


BAM !!!!


What do I have a feeling that there is a LOT of thingies like this that we're not even aware of...
