Images to Forums

[ChuckR]

How do you get an image of CPU-Z to a forum in a size that is readable?
I am capturing screens in jpeg that I want to post on forums. I am using
Windows 7 Professional 64bit Snipping Tool. I then upload the files to Imageshack and
from there select the code for Forum and insert that.
All I want is the jpeg to be large enough in the forum that it can be read.
These are files of CPU-Z. I have tried many upload sizes and none seem to work.
Please, What is the proper procedure?
Thanks

Alt-Print Screen to capture the active window (IE CPU-Z) paste it into paint and save. Upload to imageshack and insert image into post.

That sounds simple, and I have done it many times. I have decided to take the jpeg through a paint program and resize it 200. I will see how that works.
Thanks

I just tried it and the results were poor.

Try 150%. You can't make something from nothing. If it starts very small, blowing it up will pixelate it every time. The trick is finding the right balance of size vs pixelation.

Here are the CPU-Z IMAGES at 150

View Info on an image shows a much smaller px value than the original. Example: CPU-Z CPU(150) shows a 921/888 pixels in the Paint program. When I uploaded the images to ImageShack I chose 'Do Not Resize'
Looking at image details at Imageshack shows a Resolution of 921/888.
Any ideas on what is happening at a Forum end?

ImageShack does talk about BBCode for a forum. I am attaching the second set of commands they offer.

Those look pretty good. They convey all the necessary information, and are readable.

Viewing the full image gives you the same value you got in Paint. It's scaled down on that site until you click it.

Is it possible that I need a settings change or Add-On to see the images in Full View on the Screen? I use IE8 and FireFox.

No, it's just a different url. Here it is for one of your pics...

Honestly, that's too big for forum use with it's intended purpose. 100% should be more than sufficient. Btw, I prefer www.imgur.com photo hosting for forum use. It compresses the image slightly, but it's fine for web use when you don't absolutely need full quality. The site is very easy to use, and faster than the other bigger sites.

I uploaded the pictures to IMGUR, but CAN'T find how to get them to this Forum.
As you can see I did find the addresses. Now lets see what the results are.

Now that is what I have been looking for. Many Thanks
