Image Posting Related Question

How to post a picture?
For obvious space reason, this website does not allow you to put picture directly. So you need to 'host' the picture somewhere on the Internet first. You can post it inside your own website or I recommend http://www.imageshack.us. But you must make sure that your image host allow access from other website.

After you've the picture hosted, to post in within your message, just write the picture url within the
tag.

Is it possible to post image that already hosted in other website?
Most of the time: yes. Just right click with your mouse and choose something like 'copy image location' (NOT Copy Image). If that doesnt work, please read below how to do a screen capture. Flash file and PDF file require some special treatment too.

How to screen capture an image?
Press Prt-Screen and then open up your favorite image editing software. Create a new image as needed. Then click on Edit->Paste. Edit as needed. (thanks Yama!)

Or you can use a screen capture program. The good one will allow you specify which rectangular area to capture. Go to http://www.download.com and search there.

How to capture an image from Flash movie?
Follow above screen capturing steps.

How to capture an image from PDF file?
You can use above screen capturing tecnique. Or, most PDF file allows you to 'extract' the image.

Depending on the Acrobat Reader version you use, please use the "Select Image" tools. This tools usually reside within your Acrobat Reader tool bar or under the tools menu. After you choose this tool, just left click on the image and then right click to save it.


Forum Related Question

Shortly speaking, for general usage related question please refer to THIS FAQ for this forum manual.

Please do but you dont have too. Many visitor to this forum are not Indonesian. Plus by speaking in english you are spreading the word about Indonesia.

What 'sticky' and 'announcement] thread means?
Sticky is a thread that will always stay on top of thread list. Announcement thread will show up on all forum. Only those with special privilege can make a thread as sticky.

Ok. So what is a thread and sub forum. And please explain this sub forum sub-sub forum ?
A thread is a discussion. Like this FAQ, which is also a thread. Sub forum is simply a forum inside a forum.
Indonesian Forum is actually a sub-sub-sub-sub-forum. Currently, divided into these sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-forum:
- Indonesian Main Sub Forum : Pictures and skyscrapers discussion.
- Projects: Talk about projects and construction updates
- WarTeg: Talk About anything other than skyscrapers.
- Gado Gado : Talk about general discussion, chit chat, hobbie, interest

As you can see, the this sub(s)-forum is not organized yet. This happen due to a bug in the script. So for now, please try your best to post in the appropiate sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-forum: WarTeg or Projects. When the time comes, our moderator will move misplaced thread to appropiate sub(s)-forum.

What is a moderator?
To put it simple, somebody that have higher access that other user, somebody that act as maintainer of this forum.

Who is this forum moderator?
The Indonesian forum chief moderator is David-80, which will be assisted by GreyX, szehoong, Chad, and baqthier.

Can we use images from community webshot?? or other site with a lot of images inside it
Any suggestion to us how to use those broadcasted images in internet??
Bluesky, i answered here because this is the right place for Q/A. :)

If you use other images that not your pictures, state the source of the pictures. Especially if the pictures are copyright protected. If the Photographers of the pictures stated you need to ask for permission before posting his/her pictures, then you have to ask him/her first. This to avoid legal issue, which happened couple times ago.

cheers
