When I try and make a screenshot of anything I hold print screen for about 3 seconds. When I load up paint to paste it on I can't. Does anyone know how to activate print screen, or am I doing it wrong?

Is there a Fn button?

This may be the case, if so hold Fn and then press print screen.

Just as a side note you simply need to press print screen, not hold it down.

No, I don't have an Fn button, or I'm just blind.

I'm stuck!

press it a few times normaly works, it happens to me sometimes mate so i press it like 10 times and its fine :P

Haha found it now I had a button with a unlocked lock with F in it, pressed it and it's fine!

Any way to just put the image in?

If you mean select just one image from the whole screen, in Paint, on the left there is a tool that looks like a dotted rectangle.. press that and outline the image you want, then pull up a new Paint screen and paste. Then save!

When you get your direct link for the image off imageshack, on here click 'Image', paste the direct link into that box. Click okay and post!

i use photobucket...is there much difference?
and what type of format can we use to get the image?

Not much difference no, and you can use any format supported by the image host (as it is thier server it is displayed from)

If posting on the funkyforums its best to resize to 320 wide so as to fit in without scrolling.
