I have a screen shot of something I am working on. I pasted it in a Word document. What would be the best way to get a screen shot into my post?

Thanks.

If you want it included in your post, then I wouldn't save the screenshot in Word - I'd save it in something like Paint, where you can save it as a .gif, or something else where you can save it as an image. Then you could include it as a picture in your post. You could include the Word document as an attachment, but then we'd have to download it to look at it.

Ok I have it in paint, but what steps do I have to take to get it into the post. When I click insert image it asks for a url.

Thanks

jaxisland,

When you're replying, scroll down. You should see a browse button, with an upload button next to it. You can browse to the file you want, then click upload. Above that, you'll see a box for manage current attachments; when you click on the drop-down box, it will give you options to include it in your post. See if that works for you.

jaxisland,

I think your attachment is too large to be included - maybe that's why it's not showing within the post.

I'm pretty sure if you save it as a .jpg image, it will work in the post.

For example: (and I'm kind of just hoping this will work, otherwise this post will look funny)

Okay that was a little picture, let's also try a bigger picture:

This is still under the 100K limit, as it won't let me upload anything larger than that at all. But the .jpg is smaller in filesize... confused1.gif

So hey! How did you get a file larger than 100K to be uploaded? Even as a .bmp - it's never worked over 100K for me. That's not fair! laughing.gif
