Ok, I just can't stand how many people have asked me or other people (wether it be over IM or on these boards) about how to take screenshots. Simple process people:
To take a screenshot.
1. When you want to capture an image of your game, you hit the Print Screen button on your keyboard, it's probably the 3rd to last button on the top right of your keyboard, if you don't see it, look harder, it's there.
2. Once you've done that, open MSPaint (Start/Programs/Accessories/Paint), once it's open, while holding the Ctrl button down, press V, (or Edit/Paste), you may get a pop-up message saying "The image on the clipboard is larger than the bitmap. Would you like the bitmap enlarged?", if so, just click yes.
3. Edit and save the picture as you see fit. The FFR boards require a .jpg extension. To do this, click the menu under the file name, select .jpg and save it how you would normally.
NOTE: The only way you will be able to post the image on the net for everyone to see is if you upload it somewhere, there are some sites that host images for free.
