HOW TO POST SCREENSHOT ON THE FORUM

Decide how you're going to take the screenshots. You can take screenshots using software that's already on your computer, or you can download a program (some are free, some aren't). Programs are usually good in that they make it easier to point to or highlight certain parts of the screenshot. For example Grabilla allow you to take a screenshot and upload it with single click. For now, though, let's start with taking screenshots without a program.

I) In Windows, hold down the Alt key and then press the Print Screen key. Open Microsoft Paint (Start>>All Programs>>Accessories>>Paint). Press and hold "Ctrl" and tap V. This will put your screenshot in MS Paint. Save it.

or

II) Another Easy Method to take a screenshot is to use Snipping Tool.

Search your computer for "Snipping Tool".
Snipping Tool is an application included in Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista. The program is a screen-capture tool that allows taking screenshots (called snips) of an open window, rectangular areas, a free-form area, or the entire screen. Snips can then be saved as a PNG, GIF, or JPEG file.”

2. Upload the image to an image host website, such as Tinypic.com or ImageShack.us

3. Retrieve the URL of the image. If you are given several codes, choose actual image URL/HTML/Forum code.

4. Go to the forums, enter Payment Proof category, create a new topic. When posting choose to add image. Or simply enter this code [img]your-image-url-goes-here[/img].

Thats it
