Zovs -> RE: Forum Platform (2/24/2020 12:49:24 PM)

The forum's current software is a bit ancient. Its functional but outdated, as posted above is not very productive to create AAR's with using the forum's default tools. There is a 'trick' to over come this and I have posted this else where in subforms showing how you don't have to load up any images at all and instead use a hosting service for graphics and then using a small bit of html to paste that into a replay or message, its very simple and easy once you learn this 'trick' to bypass the current forum's restrictions on image sizes and what not.

Here is a pasted screen shot, the html looks like this:

But when actually pasted in a message it looks like so (sorry for the size I have a 4k Monitor, so scroll to the right and the bottom to see the selected 'code'):

So yes, one day a software update should be implemented that removes this restricting. For example they recently updated GameSquad (mostly owned and controlled by a bunch of ASL (Advanced Squad Leader) freaks (lol) myself included) and all you have to do is drag and drop a picture into a message and wala your golden.

Things like that, under the hood so to speak, would be nice for some people. Some of us barely post pictures. But then again, I have yet to do an AAR.

I just don't like the look of the Slitherine forum. For me, it is hard to see where one post starts and stops compared to here.

I never played Advanced Squad Leader. My kittens would probably love to play with the game!

Sacrilege!

LOL

Any game's screen shot will do (using the BB code thing):

Well, the kittens like to play with dice and they do chew up puzzle pieces. [:@]

What you do Zovs works is a fair workaround. However, it costs extra time, and often image hosters delete/go out of business/suddenly charge 400USD and an amazing AAR loses all its pictures. My workaround on this site has been to open an image storage thread in the WitE mod section where I post all my images I want to links somewhere else. You have generous attachement limits there and the images saved there will remain as long as the actual AAR (as long as the Matrix forum exists).

It's a bad new. Advanced Squad Leader is a great game.

Have you ever played Heroes of Stalingrad?

RangerJoe -> RE: Forum Platform (2/24/2020 7:40:42 PM)

I have played the original Squad Leader and some of the expansions.

I have not played Heroes of Stalingrad.

Right now, about the only modern computer war game that I play is really very simple and easy. It is called WITPAE.
