This is just a little tutorial on how to post your images on H3F.

There are a few steps to get an image from Halo 3 onto a post at H3F.

Step 1: Take A Screenshot
In Halo 3, in Theater Mode, you must take a Screenshot. This Screenshot will automatically be uploaded to your Bungie.net profile, here (http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/Screenshots.aspx).

Sometimes this may take a considerable time to upload, so if you don't see them there right away and don't want to wait, then you can take a shortcut by uploading them to your File Share and grabbing them from there.

Step 2: Download The Screenshot
Find the Screenshot in your profile, whether it is in your Screenshots or your File Share, and click on the picture. This will bring up a window displaying the image; now click on that image. You will then be prompted to save this file, do so in a memorable place.

Step 3: Upload The Screenshot
Now you must upload the Screenshot to an Image Hosting site. Some of the popular ones are:

ImageShack (http://www.imageshack.us)
Photo Bucket (http://www.photobucket.com)


Step 4: Post The Screenshot
Copy the image URL from the Image Hosting site that you uploaded to. Use the URL for the full image, no need to use Thumbnails, the image will automatically be resized to fit on the page.

Then put the following code in your post:
Image URL
Where Image URL will be replaced by the actual URL of your image.

I hope this helps to clarify this process for those unfamiliar with it. If you have any questions please PM me (http://www.halo3forgery.org/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=2).
