It's a question for a community fort in the community games section, since the person in charge doesn't have a good network commection, and can't use javascript.

I upload images with encapsulated scrot and imgur-screenshot.sh

Spoiler: Encapsulation (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
# Declare correct terminal emulator
# get the selected clipboard via backticks (or selected if -selection is removed)
if asdf=`zenity --entry --text="AreaShot name" --title="Screenshot" --timeout=30`; then
# Add full directory
 asdf="/PATH/TO/Pictures/"$asdf"-"`date +%s`
# Launch scrot with that name, adding png
 scrot -s  $asdf.png
# Upload it to imgur with deletion in 3 weeks --auto-delete 1814400
/PATH/TO/imgur-screenshot.sh --open false $asdf.png
# Make new filename to include imgur upload
nasdf=$asdf"i.imgur.com"`tail -1 /home/user/.imgur-screenshot.log | grep -o "https://i.imgur.com/........png" | grep -o "........png"`
#add tags
echo "|[img]"`xclip -o -selection clipboard`"[/img]|" | xclip -selection clipboard
# Rename file.
mv $asdf.png $nasdf
 else
 echo "Not shot"
fi
Mind the correct PATH; will work with names like forum/image.png to save image-1235679i.imgur.comABCDEF.png to Pictures/forum folder and places |[img]https://i.imgur.com/ABCDEF.png[/img]| in clipboard

This and imgur-screenshot.sh is for linux, but I'd expect there to be a windows variant. Doesn't need web browser to run, but I dunno how the direct-to-server upload will work on spotty connection.

E: There is also the possibility of using modified df2html to convert images to bbcodes and paste that into posts in lieu of image links.

BBcode doesn't offer background colors though, so most of your images aren't going to look great.

Also, jajascript Imic? XD

@Bearskie: point, though it does offer glow. Still, barrels don't exactly look the same ÷

https://ptpb.pw is a pretty no-nonsense host, and they don't much care what sort of file you post as long as it isn't ludicrously huge. Normal screenshots are definitely fine.
