I would love to be able to upload some great quality pictures for a storygame, but the 100,000 byte limit really puts a dent on my dreams of creating a largely pictorial base storygame. 100,000 bytes and below seems to be setting the setting the standards really low. Anything of good quality takes up a lot more than 100,000 bytes, and I find that reducing the quality of an image to keep it below 100,000 bytes is not worth it uploading the image at all. Is there be a way for all users to upload high quality pictures without the byte limit?

Time to invest in a Photobucket account haha!

(Serously, you can post pics from hosting sites into your storygames. Like this - - - )

Yeah, I moved to photobucket during the mustache wars. Only use the site's when it's for an avatar.

How do you actually post a picture in the forums? I've been trying to figure out how to use photobucket for that.

Drag and drop.

AH HA! 

Congrats! 

If it helps Spacecats, the storygame "Farewell, My Childhood Self" was filled with pictures that were great quality. So don't be to discouraged. lol

Note that you'll also want to be familiar with sizing your pics (nobody likes a scroll bar) - to do that, just right click on it and set the width etc. Also you can use %'s.

For example:

Yours = <p><img height="527" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-DDbDOkUwah4/UoBMH6t5S8I/AAAAAAAANB0/abIKhKYEXLs/w2048-h1778/Ultraviolet_image_of_the_Cygnus_Loop_Nebula_crop.jpg" width="609" /></p>

Mine = <p><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-DDbDOkUwah4/UoBMH6t5S8I/AAAAAAAANB0/abIKhKYEXLs/w2048-h1778/Ultraviolet_image_of_the_Cygnus_Loop_Nebula_crop.jpg" width="55%" /></p>

 

This is also nice to know. Thanks BZ.

Photobucket is awful; use tinypic. At it's core, it's the same thing (a image hosting website/service, but unlike Photobucket, no registration is required), and you won't ever have you're images do this:

Why wouldn't you just save and then upload said picture to your own Photobucket long before they move or delete it? 

Thanks! This really helps!
