Post by: System3 on July 30, 2014, 09:51:34 AM

Screenshots don't work.  Why is it so hard for people to just click on the "Manage Attachments" button and attach pics directly to their posts?  /OT rant

It worked for me.  

How about not ranting and just using your intelligent capacity to 'figure it out', because we all love to hear people bitching about stuff that is easily fixed don't we?

Seriously, is this the Amiga.org way?

It's the Amiga.org way to make things way more difficult than they need to be. ;) When I click on your pics it says:

"Something Went Wrong
Sorry, there was a problem with this link: http://hol.abime.net/pic_full/dbs/6001-6100/6052_dbs1.png
You can now continue to this website, or go back to the page you were on before.
Remember, only follow links from sources you trust."

Then when I try to click through that it gives me a "website not found" error.

This is in IE 11 and Firefox 30.

Fortunately it is easily fixed. Use the built-in forum tools (i.e., click on the "Manage Attachments" button) to attach screenshots directly to posts. PS - Just noticed you're new here. Welcome to Amiga.org!  :biglaugh:

To be fair, the pic or FB link does not work for me either.
The download link does work, Thanks.

Actually i'm not new here at all, i've been here longer than you, October 2002 to be precise ;)

This was a dummy account setup to announce when I released Putty Squad and now my production of this game.

it is throwing a 403 error:
You don't have permission to access /pic_full/dbs/6001-6100/6052_dbs1.png on this server.

This usually has something to do with the apache configuration for the virtual host or some kind of permission issue on the file/directory.

Your post is very poor.

Your hol.abime link points to some facebook page which doesnt work, your other link fails also.  Your screenshots that are attached are like thumbnails.  Whomever approved this should have at least clicked the links first.  If it was me, I wouldnt have approved it until you fixed it.

The general attitude on Amiga.ORG is very poor frankly.

Once you sort that out, then feel free to lecture me on my posting ability, but when I tried to announce Putty Squad was ready for release on Amiga, it took over a WEEK for the account to be approved.

Get your own house in order before you worry about anything else eh? ;)

You came back four months later to leave a snarky response?  *Somebody* is still a bit bitter, lol!  ;)  Oh well, cheers, and happy new year!  :pint:  :pint:

For what its worth, I cant see any huge problem with the original post. It shows ok here in Chrome, and links to the png and the download link are working.
The only thing I noticed is that if I click the attached picture it redirects me to facebook. But does then give me a link to the actual picture, so no big deal. Perhaps if I was a facebook user and was logged in it would work seamlessly.

I think the post deserves more attention to the game itself than the format of the message. Thanks for porting the game. Comments on gameplay, etc would be more welcome.
