ezPicPoster:
The tool ezPicPoster relieves a lot of work from you:
- it can create thumbnails,
- upload files to your webspace and
- generate the appropriate EZcode or HTML-Code.
More state-of-the-art are the tools Irada and IIIU
Alternative:
to make an image accessible for everyone, it needs to be transferred to a webserver on the internet,
after that, you can manually link to the files(s) at our board by using EZcodes.
EZcode: link to an image without a preview
[img]www.domain.de/bild01.jpg[/img]
EZcode: link to an image including a preview
[link=www.domain.de/bild01.jpg][img]www.domain.de/th_bild01.jpg[/img][/link]
(th_bild01.jpg is the small preview image)
Important! Always pay attention to the correct spelling
(UPPERCASE-lowercase), e.g. .jpg or .JPG
With registration:
Free webspace providers are e.g.:
- freenet.de
In case of creating an account just for posting files you should also upload a small standard website (e.g. index.htm with some content).
Otherwise the provider might remove your account (because there is traffic caused without a website on the webspace)!
On the PinkDevils Board mainpage, the forums are divided into various categories.
Please choose the right category for posting. In case you have accidently posted into the wrong section, just add "please delete" or "please move" to your topic.
05. Am I allowed to link from outside Sites/Postings (Webfinds)?
Basically: always upload images/videos you found on the web to own webspace or to a pic-host yourself!
With hosts likeimagevenue.com it is mostly not necessary to upload files by yourself,
just ask the person who posted the images/movies/rars/... you want to link to, if he agrees to it.
Most of the posters will do so (because some providers offer credits/points/premium accounts for often downloaded files).
Hints for posting webfinds:
- provide credits in your posting (Credits to xyz | Credits to original scanners/cappers/...).
- do not link to files on webspace that does not belong to you.
- pay attention to the boardrules and the quality (PD is a HQ-Board) of webfinds while posting.
07. Where can I register here, and is it necessary?
Basically:
- for visiting the public areas of the board, there is no registration necessary.
- for starting or replying to a posting, you need to register.
The registration only takes a little time once.
In addition, your nickname will be registered exclusively for you.
11. I have further questions, suggestions and ideas!
Please post your questions in the [ tipps & tricks ] forum!
It is checked regularly by our admins and mods.
The F.A.Q. will be updated, in case new problems occur.
You should definitely put your ideas into this forum: [ wazzzuuuupppp ]
Freenet.de asks for username & password:
This problem is caused by your download manager. There are 2 possible solutions:
1. right click the link and then choose "Save target as" or "Save link as"
or
2. apply the following settings to your download manager:
- User Agent: Anonymizer or Mozilla 4.0 für MSIE 5.0 Windows 98
- disable Cookies
- send "referer" (with HTTP request)
(- generated by URL with Getright)
14. Problems with downloading One-Click Pic-Hosts?
Do you have problems with downloading from one of theese pic-hosts?:
imagevenue, imageshack, mediaupload, dumpanimage, paintedover, imagehigh, supload, imagethrust, picpile,
keepmyfile, ihostphotos, theimagehosting, picturesuplod, imagedemon
The tool BilderHerunterlader is a powerful Java application that can download pictures from a lot of hosts. It is updated regularly and new hosts are added often.
Thanks to the programmer for making this great tool!
Alternative:
There is a little tool that might help you called PicnickerPro
With its help you can download images from these pic-hosts automatically without needing to open every single image page.
Useful hints:
- you will probably need these VB-Runtimes.
- Here you can find a short manual for the PicnickerPro.
15. Problems with displaying images from Imageshack.us?
In case you only see "frogs" at this there is a problem with the referrer.
There 2 easy ways to solve this problem:
1. install the extension web developer.
- for Firefox
- for Mozilla
Then you can choose to disable referrer logging in the added drop down menu (Screenshot 1).
Through this, thumbnails and manual download will be working again. If the option for referrer logging is disabled (Screenshot 2)
it will be also possible to download with FlashGet.
or
2. Disable referrer logging in Firefox.
- enter "about:config" into the adress bar
- search for "network.http.sendRefererHeader"
- set the value to 0
options:
* 0: never send the referrer header
* 1: send the referrer header when clicking on a link
* 2: send the referrer header when clicking on a link or loading an image. (default)
16. How can I create thumbnails (preview images)? + instruction for posting
ezPicPoster:
The easiest way is using the ezPicPoster (see question #02),
because it helps you generating thumbs and post-code!
alternative manual:
It is very simple to use installed image viewers (IrfanView, ACDSee) or other software.
PinkDevils recommends the freeware program STG Thumb, which is flexible and easy to understand.
Creating Thumbnails (mit STG Thumb):
- Start the program and click "browse" at the top left.
- Now choose the folder containing the images.
- Below you can set options like size, quality and name. (hint: create thumbs with th_ as prefix)
- Disable the checkbox for "generate HTML".
- If you do not want thumbnails for all images, then mark the file(s) on the left and click "exclude".
- Now choose the target directory and click on "convert".
- Done. The Thumbnails have been created.
Posting pictures with a preview (Thumbnails):
Upload the pictures to your webspace (the thumbnails too) using a FTP program. Post the pictures like explained here
17. I am bothered by all the ad banners, how do I get rid of them?
Depending on your browser there are a lot of tricks to get rid of the disturbing advertisements.
One of the most effective solutions is the Firefox/Mozilla extension - AdBlock.
How to use:
- right click on the advertisement you want to block
- choose "AdBlock Image..." (or Background / iFrame /...)
- done
Hint:
Most providers have own subdomains Subdomains for their advertisements, e.g.: http://ads.ezboard.com/www/php?.........
Instead of blocking every single ad-banner you can just block the entire domain, so the ads are no longer displayed.
(for this example http://ads.ezboard.com)
Keep in mind here not to block domains you may probably need, but in case you have chosen a wrong one
the site can be easily removed from the block-list in the AdBlock preferences.
18. I can't start new threads or reply to existing threads
There are two possible reasons for that:
1.) You just don't have the necessary post-count to start threads/replies. Sounds strange?
You need 1 Kudo to access one of the "pictures-" and "video-forums". When you register you will get 100 Kudos so you will be able to acess the forums immediately.
For replying you need 1 post. If you want to start a new thread you need at least 2 posts. So how do you increase your post-count?
As you might have noticed you are able to reply in the forum "wazzupp". So just reply to an existing topic there. And please try to post something reasonable and not just "hey there, increasing my post-count" *g*
We had to use this method since we had massive problems with spam-bots which used their first post to spam the whole board.
2.) You suffer from a rare bug that shows up now and then
We don't know why it occurs but the following things seem to work quite well
- access PinkDevils directly via http://pinkdevils.yuku.com
- if you still have problems with Firefox use an alternative browser such as Opera or IE
