You have an e-book to share? You found a link to the e-book you want to share or you've made your own link by uploading the book to some of the filehost services? :clap: OK... Let's share the e-book to CivilEA in proper way AND according to rules of CivilEA. :gamer1:
1. - The Book -
You have a book... e.g. "Dynamic Behaviour of Concrete and Seismic Engineering"
2. - ISBN -
Open the book and find
ISBN. In this case we have ISBN: 9781848210714 (In my oppinion this is the most important info of the book when posting this kind of publications in CivilEA). Before posting the e-book you have, and what's most important, to avoid warning points given by moderators, just copy-paste the ISBN in the Search Engine of the CivilEA to find existing thread (
SEARCH button in the header of the forum). If the thread with the book you want to post already exists, then you'll post (Code Protected*) mirror link, if not, then follow next steps I've provided for you.
3. - Google and Amazon -
Put your search in Google to find cover image and other appropriate informations of the book (proper title, author, ISBN, description, etc.). Search like this:
amazon 9781848210714 (it is enough to make a search using just by words "amazon" and by ISBN like this (or you can make any kind of search on your own to find useful informations):
In most cases the first provided link by Google is the link you want:
Click on the link and follow next few "copy-paste" steps...
4. - CivilEA Post Generator -
Now open CivilEA's Post Generator - you can find
POSTGEN in the header of the forum:
Let's do the copy-paste work:
5. - CivilEA Picture Host -
We are not done yet - now comes the cover image to make. Hit the
IMAGE button in the CivilEA's Post Generator window:
Go back to the
amazon.com (or some other web site you prefere) window with your book in it. Hit the right click on the image and press the
COPY IMAGE LOCATION option. Now you go back to the CivilEA Picture Host. Press the URL upload (
blue text) and paste the link you have copyed into the Image Hosts' first cell (or whatever cell). You'll have image address like this:

7. - Final Step -
Highlight (select) the code (select by the mouse or press once left mouse button into the code and press CTRL+A on your keyboard to highlight the whole code), right click and select COPY (or press CTRL+C on your keyboard), find the corresponding section of the forum where you want to post your thread, press the button NEW THREAD, paste the Code you've gained by the Generator into the empty cell of the New Thread (you can press CTRL+P on your keyboard to paste the code you've stored) and write the title of the book in the Thread Subject cell (the same title you wrote in the first cell of the CivilEA's Post Generator, the same title e.g. amazon.com provided you). Hit the Preview Post button to be sure what you're going to post and if this is what you want to post just hit the Post Thread button - this is it - you've made one good post in E-Book section of CivilEA. :JC_handshake:

* posting mirror link:
If the thread of the book you want to post already exists, in last cell below you write:
"Mirror link" or "New link" or anything else or just nothing... and then put your link(s) into code to protect it(them). Post link(s) like this:
[code
.]your link here[/code
.
just without those red dots(
.) and your link would look like this:
