cant post screen shots [Solved]

How to post a screenshot?

To copy a screenshot of the active window push alt+print screen to copy the active window to the clipboard (pushing print screen will copy the complete window to the clipboard not just the active window). The window is now copied to the clipboard. Paste the image in any image editing program, Paint, Paint.net, the Gimp etc. Use the “crop” function to resize the canvas to size of the image. Now save the file as 32 bits png image.

At the forum push the reply button. Or when using the Quick reply type some text and push the preview button.

Underneath the text box click on Additional options. Push the Choose button and navigate to the file and select it. When you want to post more images click on the more attachments link.

When done typing push the Post or Preview button.

I have repeated tried this and using mediafire also tried media fire…im at point of pulliing hair out pls can some one ife clear concise directions , am i no computer slouch but im rapidly los

I recommend you use Snipping tool

If you have the pic, attach it (Additional Options… >Attach )

If you have it uploaded then write (img)link(/img), change the () to []

You are using Win7, so you don’t have to do the - ‘push alt+print screen’ - thing.
You can use the Snipping Tool.
To find it, it’s easier to just click the start button -
and then type snipping tool -
and then right-click and choose -
Pin to task bar (or if you want - Start menu).

So in the future you can click the Snipping Tool icon in your task bar -
take a screenshot of any part of the screen (you can snip a small part or the entire screen - it’s up to you) -
save it anywhere you want (the default is My Pictures)
and then you can go ahead and follow the instructions you’ve already posted.
