Nick Toye Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 How do I attach screenshots of stuff I am working on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 How to Post a Screenshot While in FM, press the 'Prt Sc' button (usually next to F12 on your keyboard). Open an image editing program such as Paint and paste the image Save the file as a JPEG Upload the image to an image hosting website such as Photobucket Post the direct Url to the image here. How to Add Links At the top of the forum, go to 'quick links' then 'edit options'. At the bottom, select 'enhanced interface' and save the changes. This will give you access to the extra posting tools that make it easier to post links. Once you've done this, highlight the word you wish to turn into a link, then use the link button (looks like a little globe) to paste in the direct Url to your screenshot.

Wee Aja Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Press print screen (Prnt Scrn) on your keyboard, at the top right, to "grab" whatever screen you want to show. Then go to paint and press Ctrl + V and then save the image under whatever name you desire. Then go to imageshack/photobucket etc and upload the picture. Then copy the link, and paste it to your post. Hope that makes sense EDIT: Damn you, Huwflet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that makes sense Yeah I know how to take an image, just couldn't find the button to attach. I would rather attach then use a third party.
