CONTEST #1 for MARCH -- WINNERS ANNOUNCED
-----------------------------------
Dear PC family,

As promised yesterday, here is a contest.

Since we are waiting for everyone with money coming to get paid (and it is happening faster now, as I thought it would), this contest will be for 2000 PC points for a few whose names I draw from all entries.  Of course you must have the PC points or it does no good to win money!

Here is the contest, due the last day of this month.  I have a good reason for wanting to know the answers to this contest question, and the reason is in your best interest.

Just post below whether or not you can you can show us screen images from your computer.  The answer doesn't matter.  The only thing that matters is if you post or not and each one who does will be entered for the drawing.

Ready, set, go!

Your Guru

I know how to capture, know how to attach but can't find where to attach anymore except in a signature..

or maybe it is because I can't attach in a quick reply.  I will have to check out a new post and see if it is attachable there :)

This is how I do it :
First you need to make a screen shot of your desire picture.
When you are on the picture , click on Print Screen button on your keybord.Go to your Accessories, choose Paint, then go to Edit and choose Paste, then choose Save as, put your picture in folder you can find later.
Then... I use Photoshop program  (http://photobucket.com/)  , where i can import this picture to my Photoshop folder. When it opens in Photoshop program it comes with URL, and other links you can easily use in forums.
I hope it wasn't`t to complicated explanation... :-)

Wow Kaska I don't have to do all that.I have Windows XP and IE7.
I hit print screen first.Then Start,Programs,Accessories,then Paint.After Paint opens I hold   Alt and V at same time.Your picture then shows on screen.Then hit File,Save as.Another window opens.Give it a name and save as JPEG.Then go to PC and post.

Hi
-----------------------------------
I have XP too with Windows Vista, and this is how I still do it... :-)
I have Photoshop for all my picture needs, so I use it all the time.
Besides, how do you convert your saved as jpg file from computer to forum,where there is no attached file button? Some forums have that option,but here there is no one, you need to have URL tag in order to submit your picture....or maybe I am missing some...?

Royal - 
He is ... a man who NEVER LET'S ME DOWN (AGAIN), who makes me feel "warm" inside LOL. I know it's STRANGELOVE, but when ever I hear him singing it's ONLY WHEN I LOSE MYSELF ... He's the one and only Dave who has been a part of my life for umm ... 20 years. 
I have seen him live 5 times - too bad it's been from far distance and IT'S NO GOOD :( 

LOL ... Have a good week everyone :)

Congratulations Crushers!!!  Your accounts have been credited.  Also below are some step by step instructions that I have for making and posting a screenshot, I hope they help.

Happy Gaming Always!

OrangeCrush  :wink: 
=====================
How to do a screenshot
 
First of all when you have a screen that you would like to save, push the "Print/Screen/SysRq" button located on the top row, right hand side of your keyboard.
 
Click on your "start" button, lower left hand side of your screen, then click on "All Programs" , then click on "Accessories", then click on "Paint".  This will open up another screen on your computer.
 
When you are on your paint screen, click on "edit" button, located at the very top, this will drop down a box and click on paste.  This will paste your screenshot in the box.
 
Now click on the "file" button, this will drop down a box again and click on "Save as".  This will open another box.  I save my screenshots in "my pictures", but pick a place that you want to save yours.
 
When you have your place you want to save your screenshot, click in the box next to "file name" located at the bottom of the screen, then title your screenshot, like "Thunderstruck hit".  
 
After you have typed what you want to title your screenshot then go to the next box down that is titled : "Save as type" now click on the down arrow to the right of the box.  This will drop down several options.  The one you want to save it as is called "JPEG

Hi,

Thank you again!

But now I have a question for OrangeCrush! I read the instructions in your post, and I was a little confused ... does that "Attachment Posting Control Panel" with the "Add an Attachment" option show up only when you start a new topic? Not when you're replying to someone else's post? 'cause I tried to find it when I was gonna post this reply, but I don't see anything that says that here.  

But I take it that if I can find that when I want to post a screenshot, I'd be able to do it without having to have a URL for my picture that I would be posting.. right?

Because so far, any time I posted a screenshot, I had to have a URL for it, to use that button above this reply box, which asks for an image URL. SO I had to go post my image on some picture storing website somewhere, to get the URL before I could post it here.

But if I understood you right, I should be able to post it even if it's just a pic saved on my computer, which wouldn't have a URL.  But only if I can find that "Attachment Posting Control Panel"... is that right??

thx!

Hi sunspun, you are correct!  When you are replying to a post or creating a new post here at PC or CC just above where you click on preview or submit is a box "Attachment Posting Control Panel" and all you need to do is click on "Add an Attachment" and that will open up the file name box where you can browse and yes put screenshots or what ever you would like that you have stored on your computer. 

I hope this helps and Good Luck hun!

Happy Gaming Always!
