Screen shots

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Ok, guys and gals, help an old man out..........how do you save your screen shots so they can be posted here?  How do you even capture the screen shot?

Print Screen. Or Alt + Print Screen (which only copies the active window).

I tried both and nothing.......hmmmmmmmm  Is it because my print screen button is the same one that says "SysRq"?

SysRq and Print Screen are the same button on my laptop, yet screenshots works just fine for me.

It just copies it to your clipboard, you then have to save it in an image editor and upload it to an image hosting site

Al missed this crucial step for this crusty curmudgeon. 

Thanks everyone!

The easiest thing would be to just open up Paint and paste it in there and then save it (and then you can crop or edit out anything you may not want being shown).

You need to press the Print Screen key first. If you're using a desktop PC with a standard keyboard, there should be a separate key for this purpose...just look for it, and you will find it. If you're using a notebook, it's harder, but you should be able to find it all the same.

I take it you're running a notebook (see above), in which case you may need to also press Fn or something. Fn+SysRq should give it to you.

After that, you need to paste it into your image editor (when you press Print Screen, the computer will only copy the image; you will then need to paste it), perform any extra tasks you need, and save it (preferably in PNG format). Then, you can go to the gallery, and when you reach the page for a new image, you navigate to the folder where you saved the screenshot.
