What do I need to do in order to save a screen shot and then "reprint" it in the forums here?

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.

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]

Thanks for the information, Ivelliis and WELCOME TO IRONWORKS!!!.

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!!!

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]
