What happened in your sims 3 game today?
Hey everyone. :) I've been playing Sunset Valley (along with the W mod) and I just made some CRAZY things happen yesterday and today with the Langerak Family. Hee hee ;) Well, I thought I would pic...
Forum Discussion
I tried... I really tried.. just go to i my blog, in my bio, this is just utterly useless.... It won't let me post links nor images in this thread... why not?
Edit: Well, somehow it worked if I went back and added only one picture and one link per edit.... but really, this is way to complicated just to make one post....
I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble. I was able to post these images in one edit. My post is a bit long, but I hope it will help you and others having the same issue.
When you are in this thread writing a post, the sixth option below, starting with B for bold, is a piece of a linked chain. To insert a link like this one - My domain, (texanskylegacies.com), be sure the cursor is where you want the URL text to appear. When you click the chain link, a window pops up. Unlike other programs, this box will have the space for the URL on the top and the name you want to show the readers on the bottom.
So for the example I posted here, the URL link "https://texanskylegacies.com" was typed into the top space, and "My domain, (texanskylegacies.com)" was entered into the bottom space. I only put the URL in the "Text to Display" so people would remember it to find my site later. You don't need to show the URL in your post unless you want to. If you want the URL in your post, paste the URL into both boxes.
To enter an image, put your cursor where you want the picture, click on the camera, and select either From Computer or From Image URL, you can choose to upload one from your computer, or point to an image from your blog. I get the URL for my blog images by going to Media, clicking on the image I want to post, copying the URL on the information panel next to the image, and pasting the URL into the space in the pop-up box.
To use an image from your blog, paste the URL into the box on the pop-up window. The picture should appear wherever your cursor is at the time.
To Insert from your computer: navigate to the folder where the picture is located, select the image you want, and click the Open button. The image will be uploaded to this site and embedded into your post. It will appear wherever your cursor is located.
This one of Precious Forsythe (left) and Precious Joy Forsythe (right) was from an image on my blog site:
This random picture of a garden using the SwiftGro Gardening Station was from my computer:
The only difference between the two is that the top image from the website was inserted by pointing to the URL, and the bottom image from my computer was uploaded and embedded into this post.
If you have it figured out by now, the information I provided here can still help others with the same issues.
texanskyThank you for outlining the process of showing images and creating links and being helpful, but that was not the issue for me as I was able to figure that out on my own. The problem was (or is?) more that after I had put the images, text and links into the post nothing happened after I clicked the Reply button.. or rather, the page refreshed, but no post was made. And that happened over and over...
So I was close to giving up, when I, just as an experiment, tried to share only one picture before hitting reply... then going back to the same post to add one more, then hit Save. And repeat the process until the post was complete, as originally intended..
I believe the problem comes from forum performance issues, that somehow posting multiple pictures and/or links overwhelms the forum.. which is pretty incredible. I joined my first forum in the early 2000s and never before have I seen one that malfunctions to this level! I know its EA and as such I wasn't expecting anything great, but this has surpassed even my lowest expectations! It's actually a lot worse than I thought it would be - and that's bad!I'm glad you found a solution, even if it is time-consuming. My most recent post did have issues after I inserted the first picture of my legacy post. When I tried to add the second picture, my post disappeared. I had to refresh the screen to get my draft to show. I continued to add the rest of the pictures, without problems. I was able to add the rest of them in one go. I pasted the link directly into the draft a few times and the picture would be left justified. When I added the URL through the camera icon, it was centered as it should be.
And when I tried to send this reply, it disappeared. I had to back into the post I was replying to and click Reply for my draft to appear.
I did try to put most of the post into a spoiler, but [spoiler][/spoiler] and {spoiler}{/spoiler} didn't work. If anyone knows if this is possible, could you share how?
