technical question:

How can I take a picture from this pc (in the "pictures" file/section) for example...if I were changing & saving a new picture here for a new avatar = it's one of the click-able options that pops up after clicking on browse; and the only info that I can see for the pic in question is

some shit like "C:\Users\Test\Pictures"

...is there any way (the simpler = the better )

for me to post that specific picture in one of my posts here and/or find out how to, at least, hyperlink directly to it?

I've tried clicking on the the picture, clicking "copy" (it allows that) --but-- when I come back to my post and try to "paste" it, I can't because - the "paste" option is grayed-out & unclick-able 

Seriously now, Wtf, folks?;

suck!

I hate you all 

but:

I still want your help

Ah, so the problem is that for avatars you can upload an image from your computer into the website so that it shows up.

With forum posts, however, you cannot upload photos.  What you need to do instead is upload an image to something else, like imgur, and get the image link for it and then insert it like thus:

Code: [Select]

[img]image.jpg[/img]
So yeah, step by step:
1. go to imgur.com
(optionally, you can sign in or create an account so that you can access your photo later. otherwise, you might not be able to find it later.)
2. click on the "upload images" button at the top of the page.
3. drag and drop the image onto that imgur page
4. click on "start upload"
5. on the right side of the page, it will say "Direct Link (email & IM)" with a link typed under it, usually ending with .jpg
6. Copy that link or click on the little icon next to that link to copy the link.
7. Go to your vgcollect forum post and click on the "insert image" icon (mona lisa icon).
8. paste in your link
9.? ? ?
10. profit!

Random news - I canceled my pre-order of FF Type Zero, because:

- I've never played and/or had any interest in playing any Betas (read: partial game + part trailer + part game-tease),

- I'm *sure* that, (like all FF games), it will never be hard to find a copy,

- I'm also just as *sure* that within 6 months (it will be going for ~$30) -and- within a year - (~$20),

- I'm *unsure* about it's combat (closer to older (turn-based and/or ATB) FF's or closer to newer (more Action RPG, like the XIII trilogy), and lastly

- I know plenty of people getting it...who can't wait to play it; with some even being willing & volunteering and offering to try playing it one-handed themselves - and give me their thoughts / more specific explanations & answers 

I did *not*, however, cancel my pre-order for the Awakened Fate Ultimatum; which, if it's anything like its predecessor - will be violently & rudely cutting in the line, towards the top of my "Up Next" list

Kashs' new/next avatar?

I just gotta say, NO ONE does characters like the Tales Of... team. From cutscenes to skits to the way they interact after a battle, you just absolutely fall in love with them and no one ever feels like a "filler" character. It's always very difficult for me to choose who I want in my active party.

I feel the EXACT same way and have the EXACT same problem. Although, I will say I'm partial to Leia in Xillia and Xillia 2 because she literally flies through the battlefield and takes the enemies with her.

I'm more of a Milla fan myself, it was her story that I played in Xillia (still haven't gone back to do my Jude run yet...).
