How do I take screenshots?

[LeHam]

And how do I post a screenshot iin one of my comments? Thinking of adding a thread on the Stories and Tales forum but I don't know how to do a Screenshot or put it in the comment.

EDIT: Read the Sticky telling me what to include. I am using the RevolutionDCM mod for CivIV Bts

Also, I found that the Civilopedia says to press [PRINT SCREEN] to take a screenshot. I have no idea what that button(s) is/are.

Also, I'm not sure what forum this should go in, either :/

prnt or prnt scrn is a key on your keyboard - if you press that in the game the screenshot is automatically saved into my games\beyond the sword\screenshots

I tried that but then I couldn't find the screenshot in that folder.

is the my games folder or the beyond the sword subfolder write protected?

What do you mean by "write protected"?

What do you mean by "write protected"?

Can you save files into them?

 

[ori]

just right click on the folder and choose properties - is the box that says read only empty or not?

The box saying read-only was not filled in, I filled it in, then took some screenshots, then opened the folder, and there were five screenshots! Here, I'm gonna try to insert one or two into this post:

Is this right?

Or this?

The FAQ for posting says to, "click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list." I don't know where the "arrow" is or what the 'Attachment Icon' is. Is the Attachment Icon the little image next to the name of the screenshot?

EDIT: Oh, yeah, it somewhat worked. I mean, I got the pictures in as thumbnails, but the FAQ said I could decide where to place the pictures, but they just lead to different links. The second link leads to a screenshot, but I'd like it to be in the posting, so if I'm talking about it people won't have to skip back and forth between the pic and the posting. Thanks for the help.

you need to use [img][/img] tags to embed in the text, e.g.
