Is this something you have tried out and found successful to post screen shots on this board? Is there a difference on any of these programs and my computers function "prt scrn"? I can take a screen shot with my computer as it is, but I can't past it into this forum.

To show an image on the board, you have to upload the image to the internet. Then you link to the image in the post.

Thank you. Is that really how other board member does it when they post a screen shot of their worksheet, like: http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewtopic.php?p=1241943#1241943 and how do I then go about to do just that, if you don’t mind?

Yes, in that example you link to is a screenshot. The person has uploaded the image to a hosting site, in this case photobucket.com, and then linked to the image.

1. Save the image to your hard drive. I would *highly* suggest cropping the image to only show the area of the screen that concerns your question.
2. Find a hosting site and upload the image. If you do not have hosting available from your ISP, there are many free hosting sites on the internet. Photobucket and ImageShack are rather popular examples.
3. Once the image is uploaded, you use the URL of the image to display it with the tags ([url=http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/faq.php]read the board's FAQ for instructions on how to use the bbCode tags[/url]).[/list]
   NOTE: If the image is large, please do not display the image in the post. If you post the URL in your message, people can click the link to see the image.

Yes, it did. But in your actual post, please just link to the image instead of displaying it. That is much to large to display in the questions forum.
