Print screens and forum thread addresses

Post by tomed63 »

Hello to all

1. how do I save a screen shot from an active game so that I can add it to a thread?

2. how do I add a computer address to a thread, so that the reader just has to click to go to that address?
For example: Matrixgames.com/Forums/tm.asp? m=2920431
This the address to the "tender, support & auxiliary ship guide
I wanted to show this to the "new guy" who was asking about ship types and ship missions.

Thanks a lot-- Thomas

1. Just hit PrtScr which puts the screen pic into your clipboard, then open a graphical editing program like Windows Paint or PAINT.NET (very good) and paste the clipboard pic into it. You can do multiple screenshots if you use a program called Greenshot.

2. In the "Fast Reply" area at the bottom of the page there is a button (bottom row, third from right) that says "insert link" when you put your cursor on it. Try it!
