    Screenshot guide

    I figured it might be useful to have a guide about taking/sending screenshots, as DTI often provides images that look a little different from the customisation, and using a screenshot ensures we can use the best possible image for your entry in the Runway. Some things to keep in mind: - I'm writing this guide with an absolute beginner in mind, so some steps might be over-explained. - I'm a Windows user, so I've never personally tested the tips for a Mac. - I've not discussed sending a screenshot from a tablet/phone, as I'm not sure how difficult cropping & uploading it might be from these devices. Here we go: 1. Take the screenshot. In Windows, you can use the print screen (prt sc) button on your keyboard and then crop the image in a program like Paint, or use the snipping tool on your computer. (Just type 'snipping' into the search bar, or press the Windows Key + Shift + S.) You can find more detailed info on taking a screenshot in Windows on this page. On a Mac, you can press Command + Shift + 4. This should make a rectangle appear, which you can drag to the portion of the screen you want a screenshot of. The screenshot should be saved to your desktop once you've taken it. See this page for more info on how to take a screenshot on a Mac. 2. Save the screenshot. In most programs, the save option should probably be pretty self-explanatory for the average computer user (but if not, let me know!). (File -> 'Save As' for Windows programs; the Mac screenshot should've been saved to your desktop anyway.) 3. Upload the screenshot. To be able to send/post a screenshot, you'll have to have a URL for it. Thankfully, there are a ton of sites where you can get one. My personal favourite (at the moment) is https://postimages.org/ as it's easy to use and the colour of the screenshots is really good. You can also use sites like https://imgur.com/ or https://imgbb.com/, whichever you prefer. Most of these sites will have a pretty big 'upload image' button. Click it, and locate your image. After selecting the image, the upload will most likely start immediately (or perhaps you'll have to hit 'OK' or something; it might depend on the site you use). You'll then be directed to a page with a lot of URLs. Use the 'direct link', which should look something like this: https://i.postimg.cc/gJhKqWqw/Barry-the-Time-Sprout.jpg. The important thing is, that it should end in .jpg or .png or another image file format. 4. Send the screenshot. Copy the 'direct link' and paste it into the message (or forum post). TDNs editor should turn it into an image almost immediately (but sometimes you'll need to hit Enter to trigger it). It'll also ask if you'd rather display the image as a link instead (which is how I posted the direct link above), but you can ignore that, as you're looking to post the image. You'll be able to resize the image (although you can only make it smaller than the original image, not bigger) by double clicking the image and entering the amount of pixels you want it to be. (I use 300 x 300 for the entries in the Runway threads (this is also the 'medium' sized image on DTI), so sending an image that is originally bigger than that is fine.) That's pretty much it. If you have any questions, just let me know!

  2. Complete surprise on getting this one. Guess I'm falling in @Robin Hood's footsteps, and a good follow-up to @jellysundae's avatar - Bad King, now Good King: Wise Old King King Hagan listens contently to your words of wisdom... "I believe that enemies is comparable to the courage of a school of Quiguki Aisha," you remark insightfully. He ponders all that you have said. Wow! King Hagan is very impressed. King Hagan Says: Ahh, brilliant! It's good to know there are intelligent Neopians out there. I give you an A+! (776 out of 1000) You must take this gift from me. King Hagan hands you: Advanced Learning Brightvale Maps He also gives you 497 Neopoints! Something Has Happened! You are now eligible to use 'Skeith - King Hagan' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!

    Screenshot guide

    I already know how to take screenshots, but I`m sure many people don`t, so this is a good and helpful guide to those who need it. Lots of items look glitched and weird on DTI, so a screenshot is the best way to ensure your entry looks perfect. ? Thanks for putting this together, Nielo!

    Screenshot guide

    Thank you Nielo! This is really helpful. DTI does like to mess with some things! The in-post image resizing is a game-changer! Sooo, when DTI misbehaves with the images for sharing bit; I can just take a screenie of the main dress up image, paste it in here, and resize it just like that! ? Can you tell this has somewhat blown my mind? lol. *does it now* See THESE... these pesky Hanging fronds... DTI likes to kill 'em! LOOK at the state of 'em! SO! *cracks knuckles* (OWW! Why do I do that?!) Screenshot *pasty paste* *double-clicky* Nope don't wanna keep original aspect ratio, I'll have 300x300 pixels plz, update!! BAM, no dead leaves! I feel so pleased with myself it's like I've just learned to tie my own shoes or something. ? Incidentally, because I use the Firefox screenshot tool I don't have to mess with any image saving/uploading either.

    Enter the Runway #83!

    If you're new to the contest, or simply want a reminder of the rules, they can be found right here. Current theme: Tea Party Description: Show us a pet having a tea party. You're free to pick whatever colour/style you like for your entry. (As long as it doesn't involve the political kind of tea party.) Entering period: Monday, July 15 - Sunday, July 21 Voting period: Monday July 22 - Sunday, July 28 I also just want to remind everyone that whenever the image DTI provides doesn't look as awesome as you'd like, it's always okay to send me a screenshot instead! (You can also ask me for help with the screenshot, if you don't know how to get one to me, or if the one you made didn't turn out the way you wanted it to.) Let me know if you have any questions about this round, the Runway in general or screenshots, or if you have any suggestions for future themes!

  13. Brightvale could use a Gold Paint Brush, maybe? I don't think Woodland (to represent their Green Half) would be as good. Kreludor I guess could be Split? Because Virtupets would be Robot! (My favorite goalie-the Green Toaster!) Meridell definitely should be Royal boy/girl What about Roo Island?? Jelly? or Plushie? Or what about Toy? And what about Kiko Lake? Sponge? Or Woodland, perhaps? How about Altador? Would Orange represent them? (Looks a lot like their Goalie...) Shenkuu could have Origami but what about Stealthy? (Definitely more ninja-like!)
