Tried uploading a screenshot I took on my Xbox app and shared it to my iPad to show a problem, it’s too big.Hosted the screen at Imgur, won’t accept bbcode or html. Does EA not want people to easily show screens?. Jeesh…

Hey there, @RodSirloin Screenshots should be easy to share by hitting the Insert Image button that I circled in this pic - However, if your image is too big, it's not going to work. You should be able to embed an image by clicking on 'From another site' on the right side. I highlighted it in this pic -

I took the screenshot on my Xbox and uploaded it to my iPad through the Xbox mobile app. I hurt my back and laid up so I can’t get into Photoshop to resize and to be fair, I shouldn’t have to anyway…that’s a lot of hoops to get an image on a forum.How come an Image Resizer isn’t installed? This is SOP for phpbb and vbulletin installs. I know, I build websites and forums. Make it easy and not fine print hoops to jump through. Most people won’t complain and keep on moving.

@EA_Aljo Followed your instructions, still does work as seen here: https://imgur.com/bShD9bj

@RodSirloin I don't know why we don't have a built in image resizer. That would certainly alleviate this issue. You could try hosting it elsewhere and then provide a link to it in your post instead of embedding it.

@EA_Aljo I hosted it at Imgur and linked it in my post. Would be nice to be able to post a screen native from my console without the extended hoops. Maybe pass this along to EA’s webdev.

This forum software doesn’t accept bbcode lol?

I'm not seeing the problem in the image you linked. Can you tell me what the issue is that you wanted to report?

@EA_Aljo With all due respect, I’m not repeating myself. I was rather clear in post #1, #3, and #4.

Haha
You complain about the game issues, you complain about this forum lacking features and now you’re complaining about mods asking you a question
It’s all you do. I know when I see your name on the forum it’s a ‘ here we go again ‘. When others have this same attitude you respond with ‘ cool story bro ‘

@blue4eva77 If nobody complains nothing gets done. I was crystal clear as to the issue I was having so I’m not sure where the disconnect is.

As for you, you like to follow people around and act like a troll without a bridge. I’m out here trying to make the game better and you’re trying to prevent that. Beat it kid…

I was under the impression you had an issue with the game you wanted to report, but were unable to due to not being able to post the image. I was asking what that issue is so I could potentially help with it. If your intent was to suggest that we need a resizer for images, then thank you for the feedback.

Also, let's watch the personal attacks. That is completely unnecessary here and obviously against the Answers HQ rules.
