It doesn't put it anywhere. Open up MS Paint, hit paste (in one of the menus), click Yes (if you get some pop-up) and save as a JPG.

Printscreen copies it to your clipboard.

You need to find some program (MSPaint, Photoshop, PSP, etc) to paste it in.

Click on the proper 'post reply' button, not the quick reply, type in your message and use the attach file' feature at the bottom of the window. Simplicity itself

WOOHOO!! OK, somehow the attachment option doesn't appear in editing your post, and I didn't think it wouldn't work to begin with!



How's this?


And thanks, PH.


Simplicity itself is obviously beyond me.

Hmm. Not quite the desired effect

Websites will only save .jpg and .gif files. Load it into paint and save it out as a JPEG. If you can be bothered.

I can be bothered only 'cause I have to write a presentation on my Honours project in Physics to talk on tomorrow. Otherwise I'd be doing work.

I just learned this, Albert!

1. Printscreen button on your keyboard (save to clipboard)
2. Open MSPaint or other graphics program
3. Paste and save as .gif or .jpg
4. When posting, go to the bottom and "Attach file" (NB this doesn't appear if you are editing your post)
5. Resize and resave your picture 5 or 6 times until it's small enough for Apolyton not to reject it as being too big.

Simplicity itself!
