sportsfanmas Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Can anybody tell me how to get graphics in my dynasty reports? I want to include logos in my dynasty reports. You know, wrestler pictures, tv show logos, ppv logos, etc etc. I've seen a lot of people do it but I haven't a clue how. I've only ever been able to just attach the pictures at the bottom of the thread. If anybody can help me out I'd appreciate it, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LigerLiger Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Upload them to imgur and use the BBCode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Imgur has a maximum limit on free pictures - 200 or something? Beyond that, and you won't be able to link them all. It also renames all files loaded to it, which may be annoying when you're trying to find that Becky Lynch photo Photobucket is more user friendly, in my experience. They even seem to have done away with the default-but-deselectable tic of adding a random string of characters onto the end of filenames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfanmas Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 I've used photobucket before, but it's been so long that I honestly don't know if I remember how. Can anybody go step by step on how to do it? I'd sure appreciate it. Basically what I'm wanting to do is have the tv show logo before every show, the wrestler logos before every match, and so on.

James Casey Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Go to photobucket and create a new account/login to your old one. I recommend that you create a new album for your dynasty - call it something obvious if you have a load there already; The company initials, say. (You may want to create separate subfolders - worker pictures, company pictures like logos and titles, a separate folder for random screenshots and so on. I've found this useful, but it's not essential.) Load your logos into the album(s). You should find that each image, once loaded, has a link underneath it that'll look something like this [ IMG ]http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/q81/sportsfanmas/AWA/VerneGagne.jpg[ /IMG ] If you don't have that, go into settings (on the black bar at the top, click on the headshot silhouette or whatever you have set as your profile picture). Under the Albums tab, make sure the 'IMG code' box is ticked. You don't need anything else for linking on here. Copy and paste the codes, with the IMG tags, into your report at appropriate points. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck Still a bit confused on how to load the logos. When I open the particular logo file, it opens it up in a program I'm not familiar with. I can't figure out how to do anything from there. In the past I used print screen and then a snipping tool to save the file and load it into photobucket. Sorry for the questions, I'm computer illiterate. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christmas_ape Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 <p>So have you gotten the files saved onto your computer first? Don't want to be patronising just working out what stage you are at. </p><p> </p><p> I use snipping tool for my diary but that's to copy the matches, the logos themselves you want to be having the proper file for really. </p><p> </p><p> Normally I'd go to the games picture folder on my computer (Which is somewhere like c: program files/gds/tew/pictures but I'm not on windows at the moment so I can't check that). And copy what you want from that folder to a random 'dynasty pictures' folder you make. </p><p> </p><p> Then when you go to upload in photobucket you can select all of them and it should do it in one go. Once you're at that stage then follow what James Casey.</p><p> </p><p> Again this might have been obvious to you. One thing I would say is not to be put off if you're not the best with computers and this puts you off. TEW has helped me a fair bit over the years, learning something like this for some fun is a lot easier than it would be and it's the type of skills I wouldn't normally even think of learning. I'm FAR from an expert in any of these things but playing TEW alone has given me a basic understanding of image editing and even basic coding and I'm sure there is other stuff.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfanmas Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Thanks for the suggestions guys. Just another thought, how much would it take away from my report if I left out the graphics and just went text only? I'm not sure if I'm going to yet or not, and I do know that over 90% of the dynasty reports I read have graphics, so it obviously adds a little something to the dynasty, but even the few I've seen without graphics seem to get a lot of views and responses. I'm just weighing my options here because I'm really hoping to get the tournaments announced and the card for the first Monday Nitro up today. I may just go without graphics for a while until I figure it out for sure, or just do limited graphics throughout the whole dynasty, I don't know yet. I just was curious how much it would affect my report if I went text only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worker images, but tv show and title belt images. It's a start. Basically all I do is open photobucket, and then upload a file from my ngo pictures folder, then open the picture, click on the img link to copy it, and paste it in the dynasty. Probably not the way others have said to do it, but it works.</p><p> </p><p> Now, as far as actual matches go, when it comes to getting images side by side for matches, you may have to explain more in-depth your method. For now I've got a good start, I think.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
