I didn't know where else to place this and this seemed like a good category so I decided I'd post here. If I put this in the wrong section, please move it!

There are several ways you can screenshot, and I'm going to show you the windows way plus a program that works for Windows and Mac.

Reasons why you should learn how to screenshot:
Let's say a user is breaking the rules on OldCP and you need proof. All you need to do is screenshot that user and bam! They will get the justice they deserve.

Good programs to use(Trusted sources):

For people who can't download anything, there's good news! Microsoft has several ways built in, but I'll show you the two easiest ways.

For Windows 7 users and maybe Windows 8(I'm not 100% if Windows 8 has this program, you might have to search for it):

1.) Open up your start menu and search 'snipping tool'.


2.) Click on Snipping Tool


3.)Highlight the area you want to screenshot


4.) Save the screenshot you just took



5.) Now you need to upload this picture somewhere!
Just go to a website like tinypic, imgur, imageshack, or photobucket and upload your pictures and boom! You can now share them with the staff.

Second tutorial: This will work on any operating system as long as you have some type of picture editing application(Microsoft paint, gimp, photoshop, etc)

1.) Press the prntscreen button on your keyboard(called prtsc usually)

2.) Open up your picture editing software

3.) Paste it into it your picture editing software's canvas

4.) Crop out what you want to save by using some type of cropping tool

5.) Save the picture and upload it to one of the links I put during the last step of the last tutorial.

If you are able to download programs, I'd suggest the two I put above as they will allow you to crop just like the snipping tool and automatically upload to their programs in less than 3 steps!

This is the end of my tutorial and I hope I help some users!

Sweet! That's great. I'm glad I helped.

Thanks i never knew how to screen shot you really helped saviour!

Saviour thanks! You are da best! I have liked this post because it will help people. I have made another method of putting screenshots on the internet. But this helped me too! You are awesome!

Here's something for Windows8: You can press the Windows Key that takes you to the main start page, and at the same time press "Prt sc". And yes, Snipping tool is on Win8. I prefer it over lightshot. Anyway, nice

Thanks c:. I'll add your trick to the post also!

This is if you have Lightshot:

1. Download Lightshot. It's no scam and it's free.

2. Click Print screen/prt scr on your keyboard or just press this:

3. Put a box what you want to get.

4. Use all tools you want.

5. Press upload image. Then you have the link.

Using Lightshot makes you give proof of bad things people do.
