    Screenshots

    How do you take a screenshot of what you currently have displayed on your monitor and save it as a picture?

    Just copy it into a paint program by normal means (Ctrl=V or Edit->copy). Easy enough.

    Thanks to Sagensyg for the sig!

    It's not working. It refuses to paste.

    I'm trying to show someone how to do something on an Invisionfree board so I need a full screenshot of exactly how the Admin CP appears so I can demonstrate.

    Whoops. I assume you're pressing print screen, right?

    If you're refering to the button on the keyboard, I've tried pressing it, and thus far it does absolutely nothing.

    Edit: Ah, just got it to work. Thank you.

    This question gets asked often enough that I recommend it gets put in some form of a FAQ. The only problem is that noone reads them

    How to take a screenshot was probably the only new thing I was taught in year 8 ICT. Even then it was only because I asked myself.

    I suppose adding it to the FAQ, or the genreal Help forum thread might be a good idea.
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

    I don't remember when I learned to screen cap stuffX_X;;

    I think a more useful question to answer would be 'how do you take screencaps of stuff in yuv color mode in winamp, without it being caught up in the black-box stuff' ;P

    reason being, winamp doesnt' seem to understand that color space correctly, and I think it has pretty results, but it never will paste unless you convert it to rgb, and then the colors are back to normal-_-
