How To Make and Post Screenshots

Paul

For those applying who don't know how to, here is a guide for screen shots! ~credits to Tazaraki from http://www.mudandblood.net/ ~
1. Press the Print screen button on your keyboard.


~note that the Print Screen button is found here ~

keep in mind that it sometimes comes up at Prt Scr.

like this:



2. Open the Paint program or any other image editing software you got.

3. Press Ctrl+V (Paste command), in that program.

Optional: You may crop or edit the picture as you wish.

4. Save the picture as a .jpg or .jpeg file.

5. Open up the internet browser and sign in / sign up for an image hosting website.


6. Upload your image to that website and copy the direct link of that image.

7. From the direct link of the image you copied, paste them in the forum reply.

8. Then wrap the pasted link with the following code:

Code Select Expand
[img] image link [/img]

9. You're done and you may post.

10. Enjoy.  :D

Are you hinting that you'd rather see embedded pictures rather than links?

possibly, yes. it gets annoying hitting links over and over again, and realising you've just hit the same one five times in a row.

Yeah, I kinda feel the same way, but just followed what everyone else did. Off to make the edits.

Is anyone else getting a problem getting print screen to work?
I have windows 7 and it wont work.

This needs editing to say that if you are on a mac, (hold shift and command while pressing 3
a screen shot will then appear as a file on your desktop)

Other than that it is a great guide, well done!

Thanks I just put in an app thanks to you I knew how :P

Nice little guide, even though I already knew how to do that lol.

The easiest site to upload images to in my opinion is Min.us . All you have to do is drag and drop.

Paul

there is also Clip2Net, which doesnt work that well in my opinion.

Maybe we should make an idiot guide with pictures. For people who are just idiot.
