Taking Screen Shots

[comte]

I'm gonna start doing an AAR of this as I learn the game playing against the AI, what is the best way to take screenshots and also whats a good place to host them so I can add them to my AAR?

I go with the basics. PrintScreen button to capture. Irfanview (a freeware alternative to Paint) to capture, resize, etc. Photobucket to post.

Thanks for the info [:)]

OK, here's a somewhat related noobian question -

How do you get the After Action Reports from the game onto this message board. The ones that look like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day Time Surface Combat, near Batan Island at 47,47

Japanese Ships
CA Kasuga, Shell hits 2
CA Nisshin, Shell hits 1
CA Adzuma, Shell hits 2
CA Aso
CA Idzumo
DD Momo
DD Kashi, Shell hits 1, on fire
DD Hinoki
DD Yanagi

Allied Ships
DD Chandler, Shell hits 18, and is sunk
DD Tracy, Shell hits 21, and is sunk
DD Borie, Shell hits 14, and is sunk
DD John D. Edwards, Shell hits 6, and is sunk

I thought it was something only people who PBEM could do. But now I see Mundy and Aces8 are doing it vs. the AI. I can get the screen to come up when I hit the "Combat Reports" button, but I can't seem to transfer, or copy and paste that data on the clipboard graphic onto anything. Am I missing something obvious?
