How to post a chart properly

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

If you're like me who prefer to view the charts directly on the post instead of wasting extra time to open another window or application to view an attachment from other members. Here's some instructions to help you post them so it can be easily seen. Help each do this to make the posting and reading experience much easier and nicer to do.

 

Here are the instructions:

 

1) First upload your chart to the TL server. The button is located below the Text Box Editor, where "RapidShare" is seen. A window will pop up, this is where you upload your image file.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=276&stc=1&d=1163773660

 

2) When upload is finished, close the window, and you're back to main browser again. Now, this is IMPORTANT, follow the images closely. Hover over to the recently uploaded file and right click your mouse to "Copy shortcut" or "Copy Link Location" if you're using Firefox.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=277&stc=1&d=1163773660

 

3) Back to the Text Box Editor, click on this image button insertimage.gif and a small dialog box will pop up, paste the shortcut into the box and 'OK'. See image below.

attachment.php?attachmentid=278&stc=1&d=1163773660

 

Now you can finish your post with text or Submit. Voila! :cool:

I don't see where I can attach images, the layout of the forum seems to have changed since your post. Any help would be appreciated.

On an unrelated note I can't find where I can edit my signature...

 

This is the attachment button: attach.gif

 

It is not available on the quick reply so you will need to use the Post Reply button. As for signatures they are only available for premium members in order to avoid spam links. Thanks

I must have misread the instructions. I see how it works now.

 

Thanks for the reply.

This steps I advised others to use were so the users can see the entire chart without the small thumbnail or attachments. Personally, I'd rather see a chart accompanied by the post than having to click on the chart to open a new windows, etc. I do this to save time for others who read the post.

Get yourself a copy of snagit from http://www.techsmith.com. You can then do a screen or window capture and post it.

 

Or just "Alt+PrintScreen" to capture the active window, then "Ctrl+V" to paste it into your favorite image software. Save it as a .png, or .jpg, or .gif, and you're good to go.

my saved Sierra charts have a .cht extention. how can i upload those so they are viewable?

 

There is an option in Sierra to save the screen image as a jpg. I can't remember exactly how. Just look at the menus for something like "Save as image".

LOL.

 

The Sierra Chart post was in 2007 and then we get a new poster, two and a half years late to plug another product - with two posts. Hopefully thats the last we'll hear from them.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
