I use a mac and I can't do screen caps unless I use VLC - videolan.org. I don't know if that's the same for you PC users.

I do know I can do PC screen captures normally by going alt+print screen and then opening word and doing a Ctrl+v to paste into there. (Those are from my PC notes since I don't normally use my PC for those things).

Except.... I don't have that installed and since I love VLC anyway, I do have *that* installed. :)

jpegs are fine. Is it too big in size? What is the error message?

And, you can always upload them at a free image site and paste the url here is it happens that the size is too big.

If you hit the Post Reply (or Go Advanced under Quick Reply) button, then near the bottom of the screen you will see Attach Files and a <Manage Attachments button. If you click on that, you will get a pop-up and it will allow you to browse to your file and hit upload to attach it to the post.
