Not sure if this is the right sub-forum for this, but I figured this was the closest I could find it fit in.
When it comes to screenshots, Steam offers a veeery quick way of sharing them. And while I appreciate the F2 key in Minecraft, it's a pain after you get used to Steam's streamlining of it all.
Allowing us to embed Steam images would be VERY welcome indeed. :biggrin.gif:
Just might point out Steam's unique DIFFERENT URL structure might be one problem. Not sure.
Are the pictures like those XFire pics that progresses or something? Or are you trying to have an F12 feature in Steam, but for Minecraft?
I'm asking for the forums to support Steam screenshot embedding.
Currently, the forums only allow embedding from certain sources, i.e. Imageshack, Tinypic, etc.

Right now, I'd have to copy this url into Tinypic if I wanted to embed it on the forums. Either that or keep it in URL form. Otherwise, I get a "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board." message.

the link doesnt have a image extension, like .jpg or .png
So it will never link.

Maybe you can save the picture from Steam and upload it to an imagehoster?

I'm leaving the forum, if anyone cared. You can find me on OC or FFR.
You could always use the Snipping Tool and re-upload it to imgur (or any site like it)
Oh yes, i know how to re-upload it myself (and yes, i know of r-click, save) but i think its a bad design flaw with steam that you can't get a direct link to the image.
I guess its a security measure of some sort.
Or... theres an option for it and i missed it?
Not to be off-topic or anything...

Because it's just look awkward when it can't. I'd do that, although lengthy.
Can the forum support .php format images?
The filters are there as a protection method AFAIK, so unless they can add in a whitelist for specific sites, like the steam one, its not gonna happen.

And they refuse to let me grab the direct link from their page.
Rubbish.

No Right Click > Save as Image?

The point of this suggestion is to eliminate a redundant step. Why download and upload a pic that already is uploaded to the internet?

Not dissing the filter, btw.
