This info is for PC users... Mac users can modify if they wish and who knows if this guide is useful enough you can bookmark it for easy reference.
If you want to share a picture that is already in a file:
1. go to www.photobucket.com or similar site. photobucket is free, so are a few others.
2. upload picture to photobucket
3. click on the text box of the last box titled IMG Code
4. right click the highlighted text then click copy
5. return to caste age forum thread you are posting pic and right click then click paste.
6. done
If you want to say take a picture of your stat page here on castle age:
1. Hit Shift and Print Screen at the same time
2. Open MSPaint (found in your accessories)
3. click edit then click paste and your image will show up... if not you missed something.
4. click on Image button and there are two things I use most. Attributes is how you crop and the horizontal crop moves right to left while vertical moves down to up. This also means you may have to Flip the pic. click Flip then rotate by angle and click 180 degrees. now you can adjust the margins and then flip it back.
5. If you make a booboo click edit then click undo and your last action will be undone. If you seriously made a booboo...start over.
6. How to white out stuff you don't want ppl to see... on the left margin of MSPaint there is something between the star and the eye dropper... it is an eraser. just click it and then erase anything you don't want ppl to see.
7. Once you've got your pic looking the way you want it click file/save as and save it somewhere you will remember.
8. Now scroll back up and follow my directions for posting a pic here on the forums.
Here are a couple of examples of things I've posted here over the past couple days so you can get ideas.
