Very simply put....how do you all post the screenshots of entire profiles, player pics, standings, etc.??

TheMaus2 · 10-24-2015, 11:45 PM

Ok, I see that. But how do you get the screens to your files to download??

RchW · 10-25-2015, 12:25 AM

Use a graphics program (free) like Irfanview. Taking the screenshot loads it into the clipboard and then you paste it into the graphics program. I don't know what the Windows one is called. Once in the program you can crop the screenshot to remove extraneous bits and save it. I keep a screenshot folder just for this purpose. Then you can retrieve it when making your post.

I cannot tell what you are asking.
Here is what I do. I am on a PC, if you are on a Mac I cannot help you.
I use the Snip tool that come with Windows. I take my screenshot in Snip and copy it into Microsoft Paint.
I then save it in Paint.
In the OOTP Post Message box the is a staple on the top row. Click it, on the next screen select browse and follow the folder/file path to your image. Select your image and select upload.

Good luck,

TGH, I have Windows Vista. Can you point me to the Snip tool and Microsoft paint? How do I get the screenshot TO the Snip tool?

What I do is use the print screen (PrtScn button on keyboard) function, and from there I paste it (ctrl + v on keyboard) into Microsoft Paint. At that point I crop the screenshot in paint and then save it to my PC.

I got it!! Got it! Got it! Got it!

Thanks to all of you!! I'm sorry I was not computer sharp before I got OOTP! I feel sometimes like a kid being led by hand. Tis' not a good feeling, but I am learning. I will try to not stay a pest!
