Thread: Posting Screenshots

The current norm for posting screenshots is like :





I believe it would be much better if the standard norm is changed to Hyperlink :

Torrent-Invites Forum


There are two benefits of this.

1) People who have low internet speeds take a lot of time to open threads that are filled with screenshots, unnecessarily wasting their time.

2) People who have limited internet plans tend to download those screenshots for no reason, unnecessarily wasting their precious downloads.

The above suggestion is only meant for Give Invites section, and not for Tracker Reviews.

I think this is a good suggestion. I have faced these problems. I have a low connection so sometimes it takes a long time to open the give away section screens.

We just do it for convince, mostly. I agree with your points and such, but making it a rule to hyperlink is pretty silly imo. I'm in Mexico right now, and I have a horribly slow download speed. I really don't mind, I have patience. lol.

great idea, nothing worse than someone who's posted his proofs as an image. Hyperlink would be light years faster loading. when applying for high lever trackers its standard practice to use hyperlinks. the good ideas just happen.

In the specific instance of Introductions, I personally prefer to see the screenshot in miniature. I like to know what I'm clicking on. In addition, newbies usually post more than one screenshot. Being able to see the screenshot lets me keep track of which ones I've viewed and which ones I haven't. Additionally, since the "miniature" images are actually resized full images, when I click on them, I'm instantly taken to the full image. I'd rather wait a moment and have all images loaded than to have to wait after clicking each individual image.

In the intro section I also prefer to see the screenshot, but in a giveaway scrolling through 20-30 screen shots is I find a real pain.

I have a suggestion of combining a screenshot and profile link - its method is a screencast, that is recording your pc screen online. A free service is provided by ScreenToaster - Online screen recorder. Capture screencasts instantly.. Lil bit troublesome though, but if it's impt for entry to the higher class trackers.... might be feasible enough.

sounds a lot more secure, would stop all the fakes

Just think about people who don't enjoy the speeds which you do.

All members here dont have internet speeds like you. Also, it will expose the personal details like username, decimal places of downloads and uploads, etc.
