Guide: How to Take & Upload Screenshots

How to Upload Media for Windows

Option 1: Uploading directly to the forums​

Generally, using an external website is better. However, if you want to quickly upload a file, you may do so by manually attaching the file to a post/thread via the Upload a File button.


Note that this doesn't work for movies.

Option 2: External Sites​

Use an image-hosting site, like imgur.com.
Select your image file.


If it is a Minecraft screenshot, navigate to your screenshots folder. To do this...
Go to your search bar in a Windows Explorer window.


Type in "%appdata%" without the quotation marks.


Click Enter, and it should take you to the Roaming folder. Open the .minecraft folder, and then the screenshots folder.



The extra files inside are from the MC-War client, search for it in MC-War / Discussion.

Now, you can go to Imgur. Select a screenshot, and drag it onto the Imgur homepage.


Once it uploads, click on the image.

The extra HUD features in this screenshot are from the MC-War client, search for it in MC-War / Discussion.

Now copy the link. It should look similar to this.


When making a forums post/thread, you can attach this image to your thread by using the Image feature. To access this, go to the toolbar.


Now click the image button.


A popup will appear, like this. Insert the image URL into the box, as shown here.


Click Insert, and you should now have the image in your post.

YouTube is a recommended site for uploading videos. To upload videos to YouTube, read this. After uploading your video, copy the URL.
Go back to the forums toolbar, and click on the Media icon.


Paste the URL of your video into the popup box.


Click Embed, and your video should appear.

Files:
Files refer to world downloads, schematics, etc. These are for map/build submissions. In addition, files could also refer to resource packs and other such items.
To upload a file, you can attach it using Option 1, which is to directly attach it to your thread/post. However, it is recommended that you use an external website, like Mediafire or Dropbox.
Extra instructions for uploading to Mediafire are here, while instructions for Dropbox are here.

Spoiler: Mediafire

Create an account, and if you already have an account, sign in.
This should bring you directly to your files. Take any file, like you did with the screenshot, and simply drag it onto your files.


Once it finishes uploading, click on the file you uploaded.

Once done, all you need to do is copy the link and paste it in a forum post/thread.
