How To Post An Image...

STR33T DR1FT3R · 08-02-2008, 10:34 AM

Posting an image on the forums is straight forward and simple...

Follow these steps to take an image of your screen without having to use a webcam...

1. Press PrtScSysRq (Print Screen) on your keyboard.

2. Open up Paint by going to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint (You can also use any other image program)

3. Press Ctrl +V or you can right click and click on "Paste"

4. You will now see an image of your screen on paint (Snapshot of what you took).

5. Edit it and/or save it by going to File > Save As

To post on the forums you will need a direct link. The way to get a direct link is to upload to a website. The best two image hosts are Photobucket and Image Shack.

Photobucket is quite easy to use, I'd prefer Photobucket more than Imageshack. On Photobucket, to upload an image you have to register, once you have, either make an album or use an existing one. Then, upload an image, use tags if you want but it won't be necessary. Once it's uploaded, you will have 4 links, one is for Sharing, one is for IM, one is a direct link and the other has [IMG] tags on it.

Direct link should look like this...

Now, to make it into an image, add [IMG] tags on either side by putting [IMG] on the left and [/IMG] on the right.

This will be the outcome...

On Imageshack, it's just a matter of browsing and uploading, again, do the same with the Direct link.

Remember, on Photobucket/Imageshack, there is an option where the IMG tags are already applied, select that to make it easier other wise, use the direct link and do it manually.

If you would just like to take a snapshot of the screen that is active, press Print Screen + Alt and hold them together...

I Just found out that if you hold alt + Print Screen button then it takes an ss of the the thing thats active, for e.g. if nitto is open and its selected and i press alt + prtScn then it takes a ss of nitto only

of course you still copy and paste it into paint/photoshop etc.

Whose life would it make easier? No one is disabled in the community, I'm sure they can just cut the other part off.
