I'm sure there are lots of you out there who want to make AARs of your games of SC for all of us on the forums to enjoy.
Unfortunately, the forums in themselves make it a damn hassle to upload images to your posts. It sucks.
So here is my easy guide on how to include images in your AAR posts without bothering with the forums fiddly upload mechanics.
I'll assume you're on Windows, I have no clue about MAC, sorry.
1. log into an image hosting service, I recommend Imgur. You can use your facebook account, google account, make an entirely new account for it or whatever you like.
Link: https://imgur.com/
2. When you are playing the game, press shift+Winkey+s. Your screen will turn "shadowed", and you can drag a window around whatever is on your screen that you want to capture. For example this title screen.
3. Alt+tab out of the game into your imgur page where you keep your images.
Press Ctrl+v. Your captured image is now stored on imgur!
Alt+Tab back into the game and repeat this process with any other parts of your game you want to capture.
4. Write your AAR reply on the forums. To insert images into your post, do the following.
- Go to your page where your images are stored (same page as shown above where you pasted your capture).
- Click on the image you want to include in your post and click on the "copy" button under BBCode.
- Paste the string you get there into your post where you want it, like this!
- Repeat as many times as you like until done.
If you want to add text, graphics, draw boxes or whatnot on your pictures, paste the screen-capture from step 1. into paint or some other program you like.
Make modifications or additions, hiding things you dont want the enemy to see for example, and then upload it to imgur or another such site.
Aaaaand done!
