Is there an easy way to post a Strat card image here? For example, if I wanted to post here David Wright's 2010 card in ATG6, I would try:
[img]http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/league/player.html?player_id=1257&year=2010[/img]
But obviously that doesn't work. Help.

I think the URL has to end in a picture format (e.g. ".jpg").

There's no [i:50d5fb5ffa]trivially[/i:50d5fb5ffa] easy way to do it, since the cards on our site aren't images per se; they're text.
But you may want to look into [url=http://tinygrab.com]http://tinygrab.com[/url], which is a small application that you install on your computer that lets you take quick screenshots of arbitrary areas of your screen, and then automatically uploads them to their server and gives you an image URL to post here.

Thanks, Bernie. I tried tinygrab but I keep getting an error message. I'll try to figure it out tomorrow.

I haven't used tinygrab, but I have been using screenhunter for years. It's never a problem. It allows me to grab any area of any screen and it saves them in a folder on my computer to use any way I want. It might work for you.

I use photobucket.com
You upload pictures from your computer, then you can copy the image for use on the boards......

Tinygrab should be the ideal, one-step solution but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work.
I was able to use Ctrl-Print Screen to copy the card on my screen, save it as a jpg, and then upload it with photobucket.
Thanks.
