you take a screenshot with the print screen key. If you want to post a pic, you put it in this format {img=http://www.website.com/picture.jpg} Replacing the { and } with [ and And of course, you'd write the website address, and not "www.website.com"

if you have your own website, take the Fl pic, put it on your website, and when put in {img=http://www.yourwebsite.com/whatever.jpg} wit hthe [ instead of {. I'm not confusing you, am I?

there's the problem; you can either post pics from other official sites 9such as lancer's reactor) or make your own site and use that. But you can't just insert a pic straight from your computer. If you really want to post a pic, just make your own, quick, free site and link it. If not, you'll just have to post links from other sites or not post any pics at all.

i choose the first option, i will... MAKE A NEW WEBSITE.

that answer is correct, you just won 500,000 dollers

try freeservers; that's what i use. Though sometimes it says "freeservers does not support linking..ect" when you try and link your pic; however, most of the time it should work (like for me)

one more question, where do the screenshots go once you have taken them

Sat May 03, 2003 3:43 am by maswastage|BG

they should automatically g ointo a seperate 'freelancer pics' folder in "My Documents" Alos, make sure you put the pic into JPG format before you post it.

oh well, its not that good anyway, it just a sabre looking straight down the font turret of a battleship, it took me about an hour to line up perfectly, but i could do it again when i have better knowledge of where screenshots go

Go to Microsoft Paint (in Start>Programs>Accessories>Paint), click Edit at the top, click Paste, click "Yes" to have the bitmap enlarged if it prompts you, and voila! Your recently taken pic should be there.

If not, tell me, I should know what's going on.
