I do it like this.

1) Press the key "Print Screen"
2) Open your normal paint program (Paint if need be)
3) Ctrl-v to insert the picture you just did a print screen off.
4) Crop the parts you might not need.
5) Save the picture as jpeg.
6) Start posting (do not use fast reply)
7) Look below and see: "Click here to upload! Embed picture in post"
8) Check "Embed ..."
9) Click on "Click here..."
10) Upload the picture

Thats it :)

There are also (smarter) 3-party programs for taken screen shots - but this is the vanilla version.

I use Hypersnap-DX. It allows you to take multiple shots & you can very quickly edit the picture & resize for this forum. If you read my 2nd AAR & look at the latter posts you can see the quality of the shots.
