How to Post a Replay For Dummies - Please Sticky! - ArtNJ - 07-12-2012 01:47 AM
Hello! I tried and failed several times to post a replay, as the instructions were too complex for my simple brain. I needed How to Post a Replay for Dummies, and it didnt exist yet. Many seem to be having the same problem, so I thought I would present a step by step guide of what I am doing to make it work. The method presented is probably the simplest method:
(1) In your list of completed games, press and hold on a game and select copy link.
(2) This is an example of what you are copying:
outwitters://viewgame?id=ag5vdXR3aXR0ZXJ...b20Yh88eDA
(3) Open a new forum post. At the top of the post, there is a row of icons. 2/3 of the way to the right, there is a globe with a chain -- if you mouse over it, it says "insert hyperlink". Click that, remove the 'http://' from the text box in the popup, paste your link and click OK.
4) give it a title and click OK

Your steps 3-8 can be simplified by:
3) when ready to paste game replay link click on the link tool in the post toolbar (globe looking icon with a chain link image under it)
4) paste your game link and click OK
5) give it a title and click OK
A screenshot showing an arrow pointing to the link tool button I suppose would be easier too for my #3

When doing this, you have to remove the 'http://' from the text box in the popup.
Also: I don't see the usefulness of this thread compared to Harti's Need advice? - Post your replay! thread.

(1) That thread's instructions are actually better than the instructions in the general replay thread, which I didnt understand do to the inclusion of an http:// in the example that didnt belong. I might have been able to do it from Harti's instruction, which didnt make that error -- so one of the two replay threads has a sufficient instruction;
(2) The instructions in the general replay thread are not at the start of the thread, and as noted were not as clear as Harti's instruction;
(3) With two replay threads and more likely, I think the instruction for how to do it should be stickied.
(4) Look in the general replay thread. Over 50% of the links are screwed up.
I will updated to include Bspooky's method, with your correction.
Actually, I think I should delete the longer method and just go with the simplified hyperlink method.

Yup, you are correct about removing the http:// part. Thanks for pointing that out.
