I got it from a site with photos from the hubble telescope! It's the Orion Nebula :) And hahah, well it might be so clean because I just got this laptop about 3 days ago. I don't imagine it'll stay that way for too long.

It's actually very simple. Here, let me put it in very simple step. :3

1. Press ''PrntSrn''
2. Open Paint.
3. Press and hold the ''Ctrl'' button and then press the letter ''V''-button at the same time. Then release both buttons.
4. Save the picture.

5. Go to TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting
6. Upload the picture you just saved by; clicking ''browse'' and selecting your picture you want to upload, and click ''open''.
7. It'll tell you that it is uploading the picture, and it'll show you the picture automatically when it's done.
8. Now, you left click on the picture. This will enlarge it.
9. You should see a link on the left-bottom now that says ''View Raw Image''. Click that link.
10. When you've clicked that link, select the URL (or, the ''website address'' as it's also called sometimes) and make sure it's all selected, and then press and hold down the ''Ctrl'' button and then press the letter ''C''-button. Now release both buttons. You have now copied the URL.

11. Now go to a regular SPW post window, and click on the yellow landscape button. It will open a window with the text ''Please enter the URL of your image:'' now you simply press and hold ''Ctrl'' and press ''V'' again. Release both buttons again and click ''Ok''.

Now when you post your post, the image will show.


It's not very difficult, but it seems daunting because there's so much little steps involved. It seems like a long process, but it can be done within 4 minutes. :3

Also, my apologies if I've explained it too simple. It's not a insult to your intelligence, I just like to be overly-clear. ;3

Errrrrr, sorry for this blackpuma, but im still stuck! I am now really determined to do this!!! :confused:

Nothing comes up in paint when i do the previous steps. I think it has something do do with step 1. Am i ment to press the in a certain page? Or just on my desktop?

Yeah i know what your thinking, i sound really dumb, well i can only agree with you ha!!! :confused:

Think of the print screen button as a camera button, press it and it will take a picture of whatever is on your screen. So if you just wan't a pic of your desktop, just press print screen while your on your desktop, you don't have to be anything special or a certain page.

Then once you open up paint and start with a blank page, you should be able to go to options menu, and just look for paste, press that and it should paste the pic you took into paint, then upload it like Puma said. Hope that helps

Don't worry, the first time I used it I couldn't really figure it out either. Sometimes you need to press ''Shift'' and ''Print Screen'' together (I remember that I had to the first time I used it about 5 years ago).

Perhaps that works. If not, then it's not your fault. After you've pressed ''Print Screen'' it should simply take a screenshot and put it in your clipboard (the clipboard is where temporary text/image/files are kept after you've copied them, by the way) of whatever is on the screen at that moment. If pressing shift together with Print Screen doesn't work either, it probably means that function is bugging a little. I've had that once too.
