Click the img bracket (by the formatting for text) then type the image name that's on your HD. then click the img brackecket again. So it should look like this when your done without the asteriks.

Click the browse button at the bottom of the post screen and find the image on your HD. Don't preview and hit submit. You can upload multiple images by editing your post for each image and repeating that process.

Use THIS.

Press the 'Print screen' button on your keyboard. This places a screenshot into your clipboard. Now goto a paint program, and 'paste' it.

Alternatively, you can use alt-printscreen to only capture the current window.

then follow thecoalman's steps to use it here on the forums.

Just hit the prt scr button on your keyboard and open up Paint under accessories, go to file and select paste. Hitting the prt scr button captures an image of the screen and puts it on the clipboard, you can paste it in any app that works with images.

Edit: Do I hear an echo. :P

You can also create presentations of how the program works using one of numerous programs created for this. I use Screen Vidshot. Its pretty good, but you can google for an additional information.
