    I see a lot of new people applying for creative ranks, (Adv. Builder, mostly), that barely know how to include their builds in their application. Here's a quick tutorial on how to make a useful photo album to view your builds on imgur.

    Step 1: Head over to imgur.com.

    [​IMG]

    Step 2: Click on the blue "upload images" button at the top of the page.

    [​IMG]

    Step 3: Open your "screenshots" folder, it should be in your .minecraft files, to get there simply follow these steps. (this is for windows, sorry people that use mac)
    • Click on the start button on the bottom left of your screen.
    • Type in "%appdata%", then hit enter.
    • Click on your ".minecraft" folder.
    • Click on your "screenshots" folder.
    • Select which screenshots you want to upload.
    Now, go back to imgur, select the files you want to upload and drag and drop them onto the imgur window.

    [​IMG]

    You're gonna want to upload more than just 1 picture of your builds, so people can review your application right. (my screenshots are only examples)

    Step 4: Upload your images.

    After you drag n' drop your selected screenshots into the imgur window, you're going to click on "create album".

    [​IMG]

    After that you will see this:

    [​IMG]

    It's optional to add a title to your photo album, but it's nice to have one, also make sure that you select the "Horizontal" option to have the best looking image resolution.

    Step 5: Upload your images by clicking the "start upload" button.

    [​IMG]

    After that, your screenshots will begin to upload. (it may take a little longer if you have more images)

    [​IMG]

    Step 6: Congratulations! You uploaded your images and now you have a cool album to show in your application, if you mess up your pictures, you still have the option to rearrange images and change your title/description.

    Thanks for reading this, I hope it helped some of you guys, it was fun to make ^.^ If you have any more questions about imgur, simply comment on this thread.

    If you are curious, this is the example album I made - http://imgur.com/a/xlZMm#0.

    I would recommend adding this :
    How to add a picture into your thread -
    1. Right click the picture and click 'Copy Image Location" or "Copy Image URL".
    2. Head over to the thread that you want to add the photo to.
    3. Click this - [​IMG] button.
    4. This - [​IMG] box will pop up. Click inside the text box and paste in the image URL.

    I think people try using this, but sometimes they mess up and the picture comes up weird because the url isn't valid.

    I think they make the mistake of copying the page URL, not the actual image URL.

    Great job on your territorial/guide. This is a very informative guide for the players that are interested in posting pictures here on the forums. If I would have tried, well, let's just say you did it so much better than I would have. You did a really good overall job on this and I think this will help many players who attempt to learn about how to do this. If I could make some suggestion, all it would be is to make more Territorials/guides in the future because it was very informative if I were new to this type of forum! Great job and I hope you make more of these in the future!

    Good luck. :smile:

    Nice guide Chopo. Hopefully this will help all of the newer players with their applications.
