<font color=plum>What do I need to do in order to save a screen shot and then "reprint" it in the forums here?</font>

On your keyboard, hit the print screen button (above the insert button on the top right part of the keyboard). Then paste the pic somewhere, save it, then put it on a site. Then you can post the pic.

<span style="color: lightblue">1) Hit "Print Screen"
2) Open an image manipulation program, such as MS Paint, Photoshop, or The GIMP.
3) Make a new image, the size of the screen you are taking (usually your desktop resolution).
4) Select "Paste" in the program (usually in the Edit menu, often on a toolbar, rightclick context menu, or by pressing Ctrl - V).
5) Save or Export the image as JPEG (JPG), or GIF. DO NOT save it as a bitmap (BMP), or you will be generally frowned upon.
6) Upload the file to a web server.
7) Display the image at a forum as you usually would (for, say, a signature picture).
8) Enjoy the fact that you have succesfully posted a screenshot onto a webpage. Dance and sing about learning. [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color=plum>Thanks for the information, <font color=yellow>Ivelliis</font> and <font color=lime>WELCOME TO IRONWORKS!!!</font>.

I currently use Ranchoweb for hosting my pics, even though I have to pay a fee. I am "paid up" through next March, but I might switch to photobucket after that.

Meanwhile, it is beginning to look like I'm not going to need to save the Screenshot anyway. I was going to Print a couple of Screenshots showing the stats and abilities achieved by my Wizard Slayer - but I plugged up my backup PC last night only to discover that ALL OF MY OLD GAMES ARE GONE!!! :eek:

I did actually copy the Saved Games to a CD when I started having problems with the PC, but so far I haven't been able to find the CD. Man, I hope I haven't lost all of my previous games. If so, then you will all get a chance to see a barbarian cry. [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] </font>
