Army Men RTS Forums

Images should be uploaded directly to the forums. This will ensure that images remain permanent.

Attachment limit per file is 512kb.
If your file is over 512kb, then compress it using a program like Photoshop or Gimp.
You can still get really good quality (Note the Injustice 2 picture below) from a file under 512kb.
(Files sent through Private messages are limited to 256kb.)

Here are the steps:

1. Scroll to the bottom of the post and click Attachments 2. Click Add files and select them 3. Click Place inline 4. Click Submit and you're done

You are now allowed to upload image attachments to the forums directly. No more looking for a 3rd party imaging host.
This is a test to demonstrate how large images are displayed and how they can be saved with fairly good compression.

Sample Image

Is 512k a default value or can it be tweeked a bit? I will compress images for sure, but it seems that at 640x480 resolution, some screenshots taken by the game are OK, but some are just barely too large. I would like to be able to take a batch and screenshots and simply use them as is, without having to compress roughly half of them...
