  • How do you take a screenshot and how do you get a link posted if you dont have Flickr or Tumblr or any of the other r's?

  • Facebook, Laurali. If you posted the image yourself, there will be a small public link at the bottom of the image page. you can post that link.

  • Laurali, just use the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard, press it and then open Paint or any image application, selecte Edit > Paste and voila! You'll have a screenshot of your display that you can crop/edit/etc.

    As for uploading it you can just use: http://imgur.com/

    Hope I helped.

  • If you're on a Mac, just get Skitch. Best screenshot tool ever. Even comes with free image hosting.

  • Glad to see that Fokian Fool has volunteered to up the prize to 500 chunks of sparkly by donating the missing 150 chunks out of his humongous stash ;-). 

    I use a Macbook and I just use cmd+shift+4 and then select what I want in the shot. Upload to a photosite and you are good to go! Goodluck everyone!

  • Yeah - for simple screenshotting, just use C+shift+4. And if you want to screenshot an entire window, quickly? Hit C+shift+4+space. A camera icon will come up, and you can move that to whatever window you want to screenshot, and click. And then, I always use imgur :)
