Picture of Forum

[{SBM*1123}]

I see pictures taken by mods across the PB universe of their forums. For instance, here on PB Support, in the FAQ are a couple pics with stills of the main page here with red lines and red text connecting and defining several places on the pic. I was wondering how to take that picture; do I need special software, or is it just a matter of clicking an option on a pulldown menu at the top?

Edit: maybe its not in the FAQ, but its somewhere (or maybe it is and i just didnt see it)

Hit Print Screen (sometimes Prnt Scrn) on your keyboard, right next to Scroll Lock. Then go into a program like Paint and paste it. Then save it as an e.g. .jpg and upload it to e.g. photobucket the link to it.

What you do is when seeing something you want to take a screenshot of, press the "Print Screen SysRQ" button on your keyboard, located above the Insert, Home, and Pageup Keys.

After that, you would simply paste the picture in a programme like paint.

I have a Mac, does that matter? Is it one of the file buttons (F14-F16)?

[--Love--]

it should be right by F12 it should say "Prt Scr Sys RQ"

[{SBM*1123}]

Okay, it's a key that says "Prt Scr..."? By F12? I do not have that button, not only by F12, but anywhere on my keyboard.

What's the button that is to the right of the F12 key?


On your keyboard above the "numbers" 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 you don't see any F1 F2...ETC F12 keys?

[{SBM*1123}]

Yes, I see "F1-F13", then a space, then "F14-F16." But no "print" button or anything.
