How do you post screenshots of the games?

Post by wonderland fan »

I found out (on another topic) that I can take pictures of my games with F8, but how do you get them here?

WFan, this is how I take screen shots. Instead of using F8, I use ALT+PrintScreen. This takes a picture of only the window that is open. Open Paint, click on "edit", then click on "paste". Your screen print should appear. Now you can re-size it or edit it. When you save the final picture, be sure to change it from a "bmp" file to a "jpeg" file. Save it in any folder you wish, I save most of mine to my desktop.

Now you can attach the screen shot to your posts by clicking on the "Browse" button below. Find your file, then click on "add attachment". I usually "preview" to make sure it looks like I wanted it to. Then click "submit".

Hope this helps! :D

I don't use Alt-Print Screen, I just press Print Screen.

Also, don't try to press Ctrl-v in paint because it won't work.

It works for me. It's the only way I know how to get the picture off my clipboard. :?
