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.

    • “If the West finds itself falling behind in AI, it won’t be due to a lack of technological prowess or resources. It won’t be because we weren’t smart enough or didn’t move fast enough. It will be because of something many of our Eastern counterparts don’t share with us: fear of AI.   The root of the West's fear of AI can no doubt be traced back to decades of Hollywood movies and books that have consistently depicted AI as a threat to humanity. From the iconic "Terminator" franchise to the more recent "Ex Machina," we have been conditioned to view AI as an adversary, a force that will ultimately turn against us.   In contrast, Eastern cultures have a WAY different attitude towards AI. As UN AI Advisor Neil Sahota points out, "In Eastern culture, movies, and books, they've always seen AI and robots as helpers and assistants, as a tool to be used to further the benefit of humans."   This positive outlook on AI has allowed countries like Japan, South Korea, and China to forge ahead with AI development, including in areas like healthcare, where AI is being used to improve the quality of services.   The West's fear of AI is not only shaping public opinion but also influencing policy decisions and regulatory frameworks. The European Union, for example, recently introduced AI legislation prioritizing heavy-handed protection over supporting innovation.   While such measures might be well-intentioned, they risk stifling AI development and innovation, making it harder for Western companies and researchers to compete.   Among the nations leading common-sense AI regulation, one stands out for now: Singapore.” – Chris C Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
