Posting an image on the forums

[RuthlessTomato]

Now, I have seen countless topics on how to post an image on the forums, so i decided to clear that up for everyone. It is not difficult at all to do so. If you want to put a picture from ingame start at step 1, but if you know how to take a screenshot look for the indent.
1. Take a screenshot: to take a screenshot, press F2. On certain computers, you may have to hold the function (or fn) key.
2a(for PC). Finding your image: to find the picture you just took, go to the start menu. Type "%appdata%" into the search bar, and hit enter. Locate the folder named .minecraft and double click. Find "screenshots" and open that. Your picture should be there. If you plan on going to this a lot, make a shortcut on your desktop, NOT ACTUALY MOVING THE FOLDER.
2b(for mac). Finding your image: go to "library". Then application support. There should be a "minecraft" folder. In there is a folder labeled 'screenshots'. Your image is in there.
               if you already have an image go here.
3. Getting your image to a sharing website: this step is easy. Keeping your image in an easily-accessible place, go to imgur.com (the best photo sharing website). Signing up is fast, easy and free. So sign up and log in. Take your image and simply drag it onto the open window, and it will open an in-browser window that says something like: "upload (1) picture?" Click upload and wait for it to finish uploading.
4. Putting that final image on the forums: this is the final step to putting your picture on the forums! Go to your gallery (it should redirect once the picture is uploaded). Right click on your image and click (open in new tab" or "open link in new tab". You may have to do this twice. You will know it us done when NOTHING is on the page but your image. Now, simply copy the link of that tab/window with just the image.
5. Final touches: now that you have all preperation done, go to the post you wanted to post on or your signature. Type in this exact format:

Code Select Expand

[img]image_link[/img].
If all goes well, you now have an image in your post!
