Mike's tut:

Since the old topic was pretty much deleted, because the forum was hacked, I decided to make a new one. I don't know if this is the right place to post, because I couldn't find a board with ''FAQ's'' or something.


Hit print screen (PRT SC, SYS RQ) on your keyboard to make a photo of your desktop.

Use the black square and drag a box somewhere. Hit ''ctrl'' and ''v'' on the same time now. You can also use the black square to cut a piece of an image if you wouldn't like to upload the complete picture. Save it.

Now you can upload it to tinypic or Photobucket.. I prefer you to use tinypic, because it's fast. You can use Photobucket too, you can always look back at all the images and with the others not. Now copy the code you need for Forums & message boards. Then you can paste it in your post.

If you have any questions, feel free to post!

Shadow's tut:

Ok, first of all, go to the picture/page or whatever that you want to take a screenshot of. (sometimes called a screeny or SS)

When your on the page, look for a button on your keyboard that says Print Scr or anything close to that like prt scr. Heres a picture on where to look.



All you have to do is press it once.

Now, right away open paint.


When your on paint, either press CTRL +v at the same time, or go to the "Edit" tab, and click "Paste"



Now, save it into "My Pictures".

After it is saved, go to your image hosting site (ImageShack, Photobucket) and upload it. There should be a link in a box, so copy and paste the link, and post the link on the website of your choice.

Make sure to put image tags around the link!
