Draw pencil in Post new thread?

[Attila The Gel]

I was just curious if it can be possible to draw in post new thread!
with that I mean like a simple draw. Like msn has whiteboard? real simple pencil and eraser!
Again, out of curiosety this is.

[ReMark]

No, that is not an option.

Is it a known hack on vBulletin boards elsewhere?

if it's a useful hack, David is usually happy to have a look at the option of adding it

Quick google got me this but I dont know much about these things

[Attila The Gel]

Don't know? how do you control the .jpg attachements?
I thought the drawing would automatically create a small .jpg and attach it?

[Tankman]

You could try this magical pencil if inclined! o:)

Sorry, couldn't resist, back to thread.

This would be a good addition to CADtutor, sometimes it is so annoying having to draw something in paint and save it (making sure it is not too large!) and then having to upload it...

This would make life much easier! :P

[MaxwellEdison]

But there's no constraints on the lines! How am I supposed to draw anything with it, pull out my T-Square under my mouse? And where are the linetypes! Can I make blocks, or am I limited to draconian copy/pasting.

I'm kidding of course, but I do wonder how many people on this forum in particular would stress over a slightly crooked line in something like that.

Can't...stand...crooked...lines...must...use...s t r a i g h t e d g e.

[Attila The Gel]

It would be timesaving, like in autocad everything is made so that we can draw fast, faster much faster!
But when it comes to posting an attachent ... (what Lee Mac sead!)

[ReMark]

Can we get an online version of Etch-a-Sketch? Have you ever seen what a master with one of those contraptions can draw? Freakin' amazing!

[Strix]

well how's about we use this (http://www.etchy.org/), then post the screen shots? :thumbsup:

btw - moved this thread into 'feedback' :thumbsup:

[ReMark]

Thanks Strix. That website will be my undoing. I'll be up all night etching a sketching! Or should that be sketching a etching?

[MaxwellEdison]

Just be sure you don't start shaking your monitor, that goes double for a laptop!

[Attila The Gel]

This is insane! I had one of those never ever thought that this was possible with those things:?.

Menkind can do amaizing things, sometimes I think we ARE the aliens on this planet??

[Lee Mac]

Wow :shock:

That looks amazing! - must've taken a while to draw.

I'd laugh if the guy had dropped the Etch-a-Sketch after drawing it, only to find the drawing erased....

[ReMark]

There is actually a process by which the image can be saved. I recall reading about it but I cannot recall exactly what the process was. I think it had to do with opening up the back of the Etch-a-Sketch and removing something.

[Lee Mac]

Yeah, that sounds reasonable, its probably pretty simple to figure out what to remove when you take one of those apart - probably just a magnet that runs across the screen when you shake it... :P

All of your Etch-a-sketch questions answered here (http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/question317.htm)!!!

Also it seems this thread was quite expertly hijacked by nostalgia...
