    Some of us know how to insert media into a post (another player helped me on that), but one cannot load pictures directly from one's PC into a post or bug report, unless one finds a way to load it into a secondary site from wich one can link into WGT posts and/or publications.

    It would be a lot easier and faster, to be able to load it directly from our equipment (presently allowed only for one's profile picture), specially when one screen-captures a "bug-proof" for further analysis and repair.

    I love this game and site, and as a player/customer I know that we may help to the official builders with detailed and respectful feedings, for an even better version of WGT.

    There's a website called VVCap.net. Basically, you can drag the cursor over any area of the screen, and it automatically takes a screenshot of the area you selected. It then converts that image into a URL. You can copy that URL and paste it in the Insert Link bar and then post it to the Bug Log or the Submit a Bug Report box in-game.

     

    VVelcome to VVCap, vvhere your screenshots go straight to vveb

    What is it? VVCap is a tool designed to do a single-click screen capture to web. It is that easy. You can use VVCap for: instant messaging, email, twitter, any other social networking site, when you need to do a "quick-post" of what you see on your screen

    Download VVCap

    FAQ

    How does it work? When launched, vvcap will park itself into a system tray area. It will not open any window or appear in the task manager. To access vvcap, simply click on the icon in system tray. It is also possible to make a screenshot by pressing PrintScreen button. Selecting an area on the screen is done with a mouse click, drag, and release. Pressing Escape key will cancel screen capture.

    After mouse is released, vvcap will post the image to the web server. This is done behind the scenes, it may or may not be instantaneous, depending on your network connection. Once the image gets successfully posted, the URL, through which an image could be accessed, will get copied to a clipboard. This way, if you are in the middle of instant message conversation, you can seamlessly share piece of your screen through posting it to URL. Up to 10 last image URLs could be accessed through the system tray menu.

    Do I need an account? No registration, no password, just run and have fun

    Are my images secure? Every image has unique 120-bit URL. In order to see that image, one needs to know the URL. Unless you publish that URL, it is not conceivable to see it by mistake or by guessing.

    Do you share my images with 3rd party? No. As a matter of fact, it is not possible for the server administrator to even open an image. Images stored in the database are protected by DES encryption, and server administrator doesn't keep the keys. Images are only decrypted once someone opens a URL, part of which is a decryption key. This way, nobody can decrypt the data until you request it, which minimizes a risk of invasion on your privacy.

    Buggyyy:

    There's a website called VVCap.net ...

    Thank you for the useful information Sir.  I will certainly take advantage of it, use it (only when necessarily constructive), and follow your kind advise.

    Still, let's keep in mind that most players, specially those who haven't gone through all the posting and WGT info readings (including this one of yours), might thank to simply find a WGT-easy-and-direct-built-in way to do it swiftly.

    Again, thank you ;)

    No problem Quijotazo. I'd rather just screenshot something rather than, having to save it, upload it to an image-hosting website, then insert media.... That takes too much time, and this way is way more efficient getting the same results.
