How to post data reports

Post by snuginarug » Mon May 07, 2012 1:03 am

Someone was asking about this today, and I think many others would like instructions too. Pugsy explained it to me very well, so I thought I would pass her instructions on.

From Pugsy:

I use screen shots to post my reports.
Here's how I do it.
Open the image to full size so it is easily read.
I use Vista snipping tool to create a screen shot and crop the image at the same time.
Prt/scr key will also take a screen shot if using XP. If laptop is used sometimes the Fn key has to be pushed at the same time as the prt/scr key
I think windows 7 Home Premium has the snipping tool, Basic may not.
Once the screen shot is created save it in jpg format.
Upload the image to a host site. I use Photobucket it is free, there are others.
Once the image is uploaded then copy the ENTIRE IMG address. Be sure to include the opening and closing IMG in brackets. Paste that copied address into a post here.
Use the preview button. If you can't see the image try again because if you can't see it we can't.

I will add... if using photobucket, the IMG address is located on the right when viewing your picture. To the right is a box titled "links" with 4 options... Choose the last option, IMG code.
