How to make a screenshot

Yes you can use word pad, paint, photoshop etc.

From there you can directly upload your screenshots from your desktop to your forum post using the attachment option, or in case you want to paste the image url then such image would have to be hosted at one of the free image hosting services ( like imageshark, photobucket etc )

I also use imgur.com, it's pretty fast for me!!

I think the easiest option to make a screenshot is by using program called ScreenShooter.
It's a small application that can be downloaded for free - http://screenshooter.net/. Once you install it, it's enough to just press F9, select area which you want to take a screenshot of and here you are  you will get link to your screenshot, no need to upload it anywhere, can't be done faster. 
Hope I could help. 

This is awesome to find out !  I'm stoked!

testing screenshot, sorry

How do u get the picture to come up Sommi, I got the link but would be helpful for peeps not to click on it I think

Once you get a link to your picture, open it in your browser. Right click it and select "copy image URL" for chrome. Then to add picture to your post just press this icon:


(it will add "[ img] [ /img] to your message) between those [ img] paste URL of image that you have just copied and here you are 

it will look like this

@Footdr, I don't understand what you mean I use windows 8, and just press the print-screen button and then paste into Microsoft paint, its really easy when you know how

Snipping tool is great ( Windows 8 ), but also there are a lot of programs similar to Snipping tool (both free and paid). Greenshot or Shutter are just fine.

As a couple of people have mentioned "snipping tool" is the way to go and has been included with all versions of windows for years now!

Just, click start -> run -> type "snippingtool"
Or, on windows 8, click the 'down' arrow on the start screen, move to the right to 'windows accessories', and choose snipping tool.

That allows you to draw a box around whatever you want to share with us here at LCB and save it to a file without all the messing around with print-screen paint etc etc .... save it in the JPG format.

Hope this helps somebody

Also, it has great tool for highlighting important stuff on the picture and it is very quick and effective.

you can install extensionsAwesome Screenshot: Capture & Annotate In google chrome  i loveit that software u can modify screan short too great options there


Thanks

I recommend to use pixlr grabber firefox/chrome extension. I'm not sure if that addon is still alive but if so its very simple to use. You can grab entire area or select an area to share it immediately, copy it to clipboard for further editing or for saving it. And it has also other benefits and its free to use.

Thank you so much for the info I really needed and to embarassed to ask

@fredvonnull

The place for those posts and screen shots is HERE

I use Gadwin PrintScreen to make Screenshots, is a free software (Gadwin Systems) and very easy to use, with several custom settings.

Snipping Tool in windows is way to go 

How about a screenshot contest?  Like I saw on another forum a contest that whomever posts a screenshot of the largest online casino win, wins the contest!  I thought that sounded pretty cool so how about doing it here for one of your monthly contests?  Just a suggestion.  Happy winning everyone!

It took me forever to learn how to do this kind of thing.  I have the hang of it now I think.  It comes in handy for several contest mostly.  You guys should have a highest winning screenshot contest!!  Sounds like fun to me anyway.

Almost a perfect game but hey I got busted! Blackjack surely is an unpredictable game since you won't be able to know which card will be draw next. 

Thank you for the instructions, will try again and see if it will finally paste into my paint .. somehow, since I got this computer, it doesnt wish to paste, but maybe I just been doing it wrong or in the wrong paint app.

Hello Xera,fancy seeing you here. I always had a problem making a screenshot,so I just gave up!!!
I know you'll enjoy it here,great bunch of people.

I want to go in that class too

for screen parts (desktop) i use greenshot (windows program).
for a complete website i use firefox with addon fireshot.

Thank you for the information...I take a lot of screenshots but was unaware of the max size allowed to upload.

I using program monosnap. And its good for games too...to quick ss

Is that supposed to mean something?

                Okay,  I've been looking at the posts and I'm still not sure what the easiest way to take a screenie is.    This is embarassing,  I  looked at my profile and I have been on LCB  for 6 1/2 years and still am not sure what the best/easisest method to use.    I don't want to leave anything on the desktop or anything obvious.    Could anyone make a suggestion please.  I know the software is always changing but if I  can figure this out......ya'll are going to see some interesting pics I promise.

                    Okay,  I forgot to mention,  I have a slightly older system,  still running Windows 7.  I would like it if I didn't have to download anything and could use the existing software.  Anyone have any suggestions?

bongo i found this video tutorial for windows 7 . hope it helps.

I use (Windows 7)  this one: SnippingTool
Very small and simple. Do not need any other  programs.
See here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/use-snipping-tool-capture-screen-shots#1TC=windows-7

          Wow! that does look  easy.    Thanks you guys,  I'm so embarassed.  Like I said earlier,  I've been a forum member for 6 1/2 years.....hard to believe  I've never actually posted a screenie.    That's going to change nowish.....  I  have to go to work now but I am going to try this out as soon as I get back.  Thanks Zuga,  Aelen.

                      Okay, I've been able to capture a screenshot but now I can't  figure out how to attach it to a post here at LCB.    Sorry guys,  I'm really much more computer literate in real life.  Don't know why this is giving me such a headache.

See here, bongo, at screen  .
===========
First: you need to save your screen with name you want
Than: see screen
1
than
2
Good luck 

            Okay!    I think I got it!!    Thanks Aelen.    Bear with me,  I'm going to be an expert at this if it takes me all freakin'  night!! 

alternatively you can upload you screenie to this free image hosting http://s665.photobucket.com/ , and then use the image code from there to post at forum

                Thanks Zuga,  i'm still struggling with this  screenie thing.  I tried the Snipping tool in Windows 7  and  then  I don't know what to do with it exactly.  I mean  I can  easily capture the image but then don't know  how to upload it .  Sorry Aelen,  I really appreciate your efforts.    I don't know which would be easier,  the snipping tool or an outside program.  I'm  really smarter than this in real life I promise.....

Bongo after you see your screen shot in paints you have to save it. in the top left hand corner you will see a arrow pointing down click on it , scroll down to " save as " than more options will appear than click on  "JPEG picture"  than another pop up will appear asking for a title name . after you put in your title name , look at the address bar and you can choose where to save file.  ( libraries or desktop or where ever you want to .by clicking on it or you can just leave it for libraries.  I save all my file mostly to desktop . I find it easier.

if your wanting to upload to site all you do is it the reply button or new , than scroll down to bottom and look for attachments , click that  , than click browse and it will look for all your saved files and than click your screen shot file .  I hope this helps you  good luck 

            Thanks,  i feel really stupid.  This  damn thing is taking way too long.  6 1/2  years here and no screenies.  I am filled with chagrin     Thank you Shirlsplay.  I will try that tonight. 

Hi guys and gals,

our lovely designer has made a video tutorial on how to make and upload a screenshot to LCB.

Take a look

Looks great, kudos to the designer!

Thanks for this information. The technology changes so fast for this new generation that us old timers have a hard time keeping up to date. I know of one casino that asks for screenshots in some of their tournaments and I'm sure the process for posting is similar. Any hints and tips are appreciated when you get past 40.

Thanks

i think this reccommendations are so useful and practically. but think people are so lazy working and trying all of programs online and combining it with other programs. but posts are so outstanding. like

i think that i have to go and have some computer classes for this i still trying one day it going to be right anyway thank you for your taking the time to show us how to do this wonderful  i am going to still trying

cool. these will alwayz come in handy. i like to share pics...mainly selfies.  but maybe ill get lucky and be able to screenshot my next jackpot for everyone. .. thanks. great info
