!!! PLEASE READ THIS FIRST !!! How to post a sample or image

If your sample is available online, you can link to it via a hyperlink, though we prefer you upload an attachment in the thread itself. There are two options:

To attach an image in your original post.

Click edit in the black bar at the top (right under the thread title) if you’re adding an image to a pre-existing thread.
At the bottom of the page you’ll see Attachments in red.
Click Browse and select the image on your hard drive.
Click Submit.

To use the inline image upload feature you will need the Flash 8 player. Once you have it installed you will see an “Insert image” link on the post form. After clicking that link, browse your hard drive and select the desired image.

Make sure your sample image is compatible with this board:

RGB only, no CMYK
GIF, PNG or JPEG only, no TIFF or BMAP
although PDFs are supported, we really don’t like them (unless it’s a vector file)

If you do not comply to these specifications, there’s a high probability your sample won’t show up in certain browser versions.

Mind the size — don’t post unnecessary big images and do not exceed 590 pixels in width.

But Yveeeeeeeeeeeees... How are people supposed to get a feeling for the font in a global context if the background of the posted image isn’t the size of the entire planet? Scale is reeeeeeeally important in type IDing.

Yves, just a thought I’ve had recently. I pretty much keep myself up to date on Typophile via the Tracker: http://www.typophile.com/tracker and what I thought would be nice is if all Type-IDs had an ’ID:’ before them. ie. ’ID: Something similar to House Gothic’ This would help myself and others who use the Tracker to understand which threads are IDs and which pertain to the forums. I understand this might end up being too much work for you and Stephen because not everyone would adhere to this policy. Just and idea really...to make some of our lives easier and some of our lives harder :-P

It should be mentioned here, that the image name shouldn’t contain a space, because if so one gets an error message when trying to upload.

WRONG: sample image.jpg

RIGHT: sample_image.jpg

Just to be safe, get in the habit of no caps in the file name. They seem to be a problem for some servers.

Charles - your sample is Michelangelo, but you should start a new thread for each ID request.

This thread is becoming all messy. I’ll recreate it including all the suggestions and with screenshots, and unstick this one so it’ll float downstream.

Ok, I’ve been trying to post an image now for the last two hours and it’s a no-go. I have Firefox and the Flash plug-in, but I still don’t see the “insert image” thing which is mentioned here. Also, what are the image tags used on this site to post an image the old way (with html)? I’ve tried brackets [img][/img] and regular html but neither of these methods work.

Neee-vermind, lol. I don’t know what was wrong, but finally the Insert Image link appeared below the text window. Got me.
