How to post images & screen shots

How to post images:

To post an image on this forum, you first need to upload it to the internet. To do that, go to this link, and click on browse, find your image, and then click Open. Once that's done, click on upload image

Example:

Your image is now being hosted on the internet, depending on how large your image is, it might take a while. If your image is larger than 1.5 mb's then it won't upload, so make sure it's not too big.

Once the upload is complete, it will take you to a new page where you have a few options to choose from.

If your image is large, then imageshack will automatically create a thumbnail for your image. If you want to display the thumbnail on this forum, all you need to do is simply copy the text before Thumbnail for forums (1) and paste it in your post. That's it.

Example:

If your image is not big, then all you need to do is click on the text before Hotlink for forum (1), copy it, and paste it into your post.

Example:

How to take a screen shot:


Taking screen shots are very simple. If you don't know what a screen shot is, it's just an image of your monitor screen, click here for an example.

To take one, all you have to do is press the PrtScbutton on your keyboard. On most keyboards, it should be located at the top, adjacent to F12, and near Scroll Lock. Simply press it once. Once you do that, open up an imageing software, Microsoft Paint is prefered, but you can also use Photoshop, or anything else you like. But in this tutorial, I will go over the instructions in Paint. Once you open up paint, press CTRL V. This pastes your screen shot into the image. Now go to File > Save, save it where you want, and give it the desired name. Now comes the important part, make sure you save it as a JPEG.

Example:
Image

Then click save!

Now if you want to post this on this forum, follow the steps in the above tutorial named "How to post images"
