Paint Board Art 2023

[Cookie Monster (4327680)]

There is now a Chrome extension that's much easier to use than Fiddler. It's called "YoWorld Art". Once it is installed, you can open yoworld.com in Chrome, and double-click it in the extension bar at #3 in the following sequence:

1. Resize pictures to 390x260
2. Post your image online somewhere. (Post on Imgur, right-click and select "Open Image in New Tab". Copy that link.)
3. Open your paint board, if not yet open.
4. Open YoWorld Art extension.
5. Paste your picture link into the text box.
6. Enable the redirect option at the top.
7. Click the "Set new image" button.
8. Save your paint board on YoWorld.
9. Turn off the enable redirect option at the top.
10. Open and re-save the paint board on YoWorld.

The last two are very important. If you don't do that on any image(s), the next time you repeat steps 4-6, those images will change to whatever you just pasted in.

It just worked fine for me.

I just made the wall hanging on the wall.

ETA Removed link that no longer shows example.

Hmm okay maybe it’s not compatible with my computer

Thanks!!

Another variable is the browser. I am using it on Chrome. I think it's a Chrome extension and won't work on anything else, but I've never been 100% clear on that.

Could you add photos to go by on this tutorial?I would very much appreciate it. thank you

I will try, but I haven't made anything for a while. It would also be hard to show in images because the important part is the opening and closing.

If you could do a screen recording, maybe that'd help?
I too keep trying and can't get it to work - not sure where I'm going wrong.

Also, while doing this, are you using the desktop app, the website, or the facebook game page?

For this, I use Chrome to go directly to yoworld.com... and then the extension is right there in my menu bar.

I'll try to do a screen recording this week.

I just did a bunch last week, so I know it's working great.

Not need to resize picture to 390x260. Only to a proportional size. Can be double, triple, any. But keep proportions. The images can be only jpg or png. The last one may have transparent areas. The best site to put the images is postimages.org. Drag the image there, and it will provide more lines. For us, the 2nd line from above is ok to copy.

True, but I don't know if it will cause loading issues if it's too much larger. Some things also resample badly when the code does the resizing.

and it will provide more lines. For us, the 2nd line from above is ok to copy.

Could you explain this further, please? i can't figure out what you mean by "more lines".

Thank you so much for posting these instructions. I've been waiting to learn how to do paint board art.

How do you get the matte board look around the actual picture? Or do I have to download the art with it?

Question: How do I stop the images from transferring to paint boards in other rooms?

That is why numbers 9 and 10 are bolded. If you don’t do those exactly as written in exactly that order, it changes all of your boards. All I can suggest is go very slowly and make sure you are doing 9 and 10 exactly as written. Otherwise, it somehow reopens every file and saves them all using the image that you currently have open in the extension.

(I’m in bed right now, but when I’m feeling better, I will double check that I didn’t make a mistake in the way that I wrote it. :-) )

Yes :-) I either downloaded them that way or I mix and match images on frames in Photoshop.
