How do I share a screenshot?

In a mog discussion I didn’t know how to share a visual without showing off one of my main chars, which I’ve learned from being on the forum for a while, not always the best thing to do. Not like it’s a secret-secret that people can’t find out, but if we can post on an alt, it does seem to help doing that. Basically one gets tired of people trying to dodge something, misdirect, by attacking something about a char or class.

Anyway, how does someone share a screenshot?

Also - this dressing room link outfit thing has a copy to clipboard function. Adds a bunch of codes. Is that something that can be meaningfully shared?

Well, you can use ` to post it, otherwise, you’d need trust level 3 to post links without getting an error.

okay, I don’t think I’m even going to look that up, that implementation makes about as much sense as the chat limiter ingame

Tolna is correct. If you’re somewhat new to the forums, there will be some restrictions on the type of links you can add to your posts. You should still be able to create non-interactive links though using the ` like Tolna said. It won’t auto embed, but people will be able to check if they want to.

Example:

Yes, the code is generated based on your current outfit and can be shared in chat or outside of the game.

I see. I tried it and it wasn’t working before, some kind of addon conflict, working now. Yeah, I remember now, I filed that away in “whelp, not doing that” and forgot about it. Time and energy just don’t allow for leveling up in the forums.

You can also take that screen shot from ur screenshot folder upload it to imgur and post it to the forums i think.

Imgur isn’t one of the URLs Blizzard permits players below Trust Level 4 to post. You’ll have to do the backtick quoting trick to insert the URL.

I actually work a bit to limit my exposure, to me sometimes feels sort of a fruitless old person thing, but I try. If I can’t do it in a managed silo then I consider skipping it. But still … there have been some bugs I wanted to report on … appreciate the info.

Theres a website bug report forum if its about the website if its ingame bug you can report ingame or via the forums.

I think it’s admirable clarifying ideas without resorting to crutches; on the other hand, a picture does say a million words.

This is especially handy when you remember that one person’s technical language is another person’s gibberish. :slight_smile:
