-Take a screenshot (printscreen, or whatever you have it bound to).
-Find the image, and open it up in an image editing program (photoshop, paintshop pro, or gimp if you're poor).
-Crop it so you have just the part of the screenshot you want. (Usually use the crop tool to select the part you want and then hit enter)
-Save
-Upload and post

make sure you save the image as a jpeg or else it will be too big for any site to host it
my quest is how do i insert the SS on the forum it self so you see the pics when you come in instead of having to click on the image i attached?

Lemmy: Save as a jpeg or gif so the file size isn't too big. I'd recommend a gif if it's just the hover text of an item and is small.

If you are running XP, MS paint will do fine to crop the screenie and save it as a *.jpg. Simply start paint, then open the file under "file", then "save as" *.jpg
You cannot link files directly from your machine to the boards. First you have to upload your *.jpg image to your personal webspace, which many ISP provides give you free of charge, or you can use a free hosting site, like photobucket.
After you have uploaded your file to an FTP server, simply insert the complete URL between image tags, like so:
<img>http://xxxxx</img> (replace <> for [])
I hope that helps

I still don't understand how to get my pics or at least the jpeg links attached to my posting? I have managed to upload my jpegs onto the GWG and they are right there below the message I'm trying to post and I have no idea how to get them in my message. If anyone even tries to help me please speak slowly and use small words because I must be an idiot. Thanks on behalf of all the computer illiterate souls out here.
