How to post a Screenshot to TSF    by Chauffeur2
A picture is worth a thousand words, so it is said, and on many occasions it
can help the person helping you if you can post a screenshot of the relevant
page rather than trying to describe what you see.
With the window open that you want to take the Screenshot of, press the Print
Screen/SysRq Key (next to F12 on the keyboard). If you only want a screenshot of
an active window within the main window press ALT+Print Screen/SysRq.
Now open Microsoft Paint by pressing Start > All Programs > Accessories >
Paint.
This will open the Paint window. On the menu bar at the top left, click on Edit
and select Paste. This will put your screenshot in the Paint window.
Next, Press File on the menu bar and select Save As.
In the drop-down box that appears, where it shows File name replace the
highlighted untitled with a suitable name. In the Save as type box press the
down arrow and select JPEG from the list of options. In the Save in box at the
top press the down arrow and navigate to Desktop and select it then press Save
at the bottom.
Exit from Paint and navigate to your Desktop; the .jpg image file will be
visible.
Go back into the TSF thread where you are seeking help and follow this
procedure:
Under the Quick Reply Box you will see Post Quick Reply and Go Advanced. Press
Go Advanced. Another screen will open. Write your message then select the Paper
Clip (shown in the illustration below).
A new screen will open. Press Browse then navigate to your Desktop and click on
the .jpg image and press Upload.
Once it's uploaded, close the upload screen and press the Paper Clip again then
click on the Attachment. This will place the screenshot in your message so it
can be viewed.
