First of all, you must have a Photobucket / Flickr / Picasa / whatthehell account, so you can upload pictures on some server. Then you copy the direct link of the image (not of the page the image is hosted on) and, after clicking on the "insert image" button on the top of the "post a message" format of this forum, you paste the link in the appropriate space. If you want the image to fit the message window, remember to specify as width "600".

Hope this helps!

For reference, what's a senisble size for small items like Common Items or Exhibit Items and what's a sensible size for large cards like Locations and Mythos Cards?

I'd say scale up the 600 width (knowing the width of all cards, it should be kinda easy to do a proportion like "width of a small card : width of a herald = x pixel : 600 pixels"). I don't have nothing at hand to measure the actual width of cards, sorry

I uploaded them on flickr, copied the direct link to the URL on the Insert/edit picture menu. Didn't work. I used the HTML, the BBCode that flirck generates, tried them direct on this message then on the URL menu, and still doesn´t work. Any idea what am i doing wrong?

Nope. Would you mind posting the link of the page where the image is hosted so that I can try?

Thanks, Julia! Here is the link to the album.You can try any you want.

Ok, I tried, and failed. Apparently, there is no direct link to the image (this is provided by photobucket, for example), so whenever I try to insert the image, I have to use an URL related to the page hosting the image. Hence, no way I can do it, sorry.

I hope someone else can help you!

Btw, nice project :-)

You can upload your stuff on boardgamegeek.com (which is much easier to do than posting image links here) and then tell us all to go check it out over there. Most of the regulars around here are familiar with BGG, and those who aren't could use another reason to become familiar with it =P

This is really nice work. Any chance you would share the files for printing the card boxes?

One word: awesome!

I will share them when i find where to upload them, because it a .rar archive of 85 megas. Also they have two problems: the sizes only work with the addtion of Miskatonic Horror cards for the encounters of each expansion, and there are some that have more cards that i did not marked on the box. For example, the innsmoutn location box also have room for the Innsmouth look cards. If that´s not a problem, sure, then in the near future i will share them.

By the way, here is the link to the Board Game Geek posts. Less pictures than in the flickr one, but still a nice overview of how where they done

I just uploaded some of the tuckboxes, the ones for the Lurker at the threshold mixed with the corresponding Miskatonic expansion cards, just to see if they would upload correctly (also, these are the smaller ones) you can find them here
