<div class="IPBDescription">My workaround so I can publish public screenshots of NS2 in Steam.</div>If any of you have tried using the screenshot feature Steam just implemented (non-beta, now) and find that you can't share your NS2 photos -- you can try what I did. I hope I'm not the only one with this issue. I've followed it on the Steam forums and it looks like there are other games that have the same issue (or have issues with taking blackscreen images).

I edited local files of screenshots I took in Half-Life before uploading them to Cloud. It was extremely tedious (I did thumbnails, too, haha) but I wanted anyone viewing my Steam gallery to see them. I did it to generate interest for any friends who happen to casually view my gallery. Unfortunately, the blotter will only show these as Half-Life screens being added to my gallery, but I at least got the images and thumbnails to display.
The screenshot appears as 800x600 until you click full view, which then will go to 1680x1050 -- the resolution I was at.
<i>edit: It would be really nice if Steam did something to allow public shots of games in beta (or those that don't have store/forum pages). With this new screenshot feature and with the people that look through galleries, I could see it getting NS2 more attention if it were able to be distinguished in the gallery.
I have added requests to friends to join the official NS2 group as well -- I'm sure most ignore, but I have had over 10 join. Any attention the game gets will be helpful. It's cheap marketing.</i>
