Posting screenshots within the this board?

[sammy22]

Can anyone tell me how you post screenshots and thumbnails of whats happened to your side in this forum. I've tried but can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks for any help.

When you're writing a post, down below the part where you type there's a button "Manage Attachments" and you can attach the pictures from there.

Before you do that though you have to press print screen on the screen you want a screenshot of (just above insert), and paste it into MS Paint and save it.

Thanks Ed, however i;m still stuck. In terms of printing screenshots do you mean within the actual game, or do you have to go searching through program files e.g empire, icc2005, data, saved games etc.

It's just I was looking for a feature in game which allowed you to save a screenshot but of course there is nothing. My problem is finding the screenshots i want within the data as I haven't got a clue where to start looking for them.

If the game itself had a feature save page/screenshot I could allocate a folder to these saves and then select them accordingly. However I don't know how to find these screenshots once I exit the game.

thanks

Yeah you have to be in the game, and then press print screen when you're on the scorecard or whatever it is you want to have a picture of.

Where is the print screen icon located?

thanks.

Sorry, it's not an icon, it's a button on your keyboard, on the top row of keys there should be one that says "Prt Scr" just above insert. Hope it works for you!

Thanks I was looking for the wrong thing Thanks it should work for me now.

I'll try this.

File Too Large. Limit for this filetype is 1.00 MB. Your file is 1.37 MB.

Hmmmmmmmmm at least it nearly worked.

Open it in paint, cut out the relevant image from your entire screenshot, paste it in a new document, and Save As - .jpeg

 

[sammy22]

hhhhhhmmmmmmm

will this work?

 

[Neil Pickup]

It works, but I suggest Rob's method of saving as a JPEG.
