How to take and post pics on the boma

Posting pictures on the Boma

  • Download the program MWSnap from the MWSnap website. Install the software in your computer.
  • When you start using it, you might get black images, to get rid of this, go to tools in your windows media player click, options, performance, advanced and un-tick use overlays.
  • Start snapping shots on live streaming video and save images to your pc and select jpg format for your images.
  • After you have saved your images you choose an image hosting site to host your pictures e.g. tinypic, Photobucket, etc. (www.tinypic.com), (http://photobucket.com/) or any of your choice.
  • Upload the pictures through your image host.
  • Maximum size is  480 x 385
  • Compose a new message on the boma where you want your picture to appear.
  • Copy and paste or enter the IMG link manually e.g. [IMG]http://110.tinypic.com/40f66wl.jpg[/IMG).
  • Click the preview button to view your pictures before you submit, to check whether the pictures appears on your message.

To make picture taking easier with MWSnap you can create a hotkey.

Go to Tools ---> Hotkeys. I placed mine on the F4

When you go to Tools ---> Settings ---> Auto-savings the preferred format to save your pics in is jpg. Then you can save the pics to a folder you created for africam pics. You can chose the number of pics you wish for before the count start at 1 again and you can add the date.

When all is done, you just select the cam and click away! Smiling

Note that there has been a change in picture maximum size allowed rules so that pictures will fit the current format of the forum so should not be any larger then 480 pixcels wide by 385 pixcels high (480x385).

If you got used to it, tinypic is easy. Smiling

This method would save a few steps and time.

Then africam would have to set up servers for the pics, and I would more like the money for cams like Tembe upgrade Wink

What a pain to post to www.tinypics.com then have to past the link here. How about the ability to post the picture from my computer to here like I do for the videos?

Example - browse local files and upload from computer.  This methood would save a few steps and time.

 

Just a thought Laughing

Thanks!

Thanks but it's all due to the guys that work the cam that you can get such good shots.
