I am going to consolidate a few posts on taking and posting screen shots here as an announcement so they info stays up top where you all are more likely to see it.
A post from Dies Fourth [RAWR] on taking the actual shots.
A post from Dies Fourth [RAWR] on taking the actual shots.
Heres 3 easy ways to take a screen shot
[Shift]+[Control]+[H] : toggles User Interface (On or Off)
[PrintScreen] : takes a screen shot (of everything on Screen)
[Shift]+[PrintScreen] : removes User Interface, takes a screen shot, puts the User Interface back <Recommended> Guild Wars Screens
If you have an older version look under Program Files Guild Wars Screens
Now that you are sure what picture it is on the hard drive it's time to upload it to a site that will host it on the web. I use photobucket.com, and will also recommend imageshack.us as reliable. Many of the pictures posted in the forums are hosted by tinypic.com as well. If you want to consider more sites Google the phrase "picture host free" Sign up with an account and start to upload your pictures, just remember where they are on the hard drive! Dies Fourth adds that when he uploads to TinyPic that you have to choose a resolution and that he always uses 17 inch.
Here's what you do next:
When you make a new thread or reply you can insert eh picture in a couple of ways. When using PhotoBucket they give you a couple of url codes. Choose the img one and copy it (ctrl + c).
In your post on the forum paste the url (Ctrl + v) . That will embed the photo straight into the post. It may be that the hosting server did not give you an address that had the image command brackets around it, in which case paste the address, the highlight it. On the top of the reply window there is a small button that looks like a picture in a white frame, click that and it will put the image command around the http address you have highlighted. If you are using TinyPic, use the URL button at the top, it looks like a globe of the earth. With TinyPic URL you are creating a link to the bigger picture.
OK, so if this doesn't work, add a post in your thread to let one of the admin know that you could use a little help. We will be glad to since that's what we are here for!
