How do you post a screenshot of ResScan?

[happysleeper]

Can someone tell me a simple way to post screenshots of my recent ResScan report to this forum? I need it to be easy, as I'm sleep deprived.

Hopefully,

Posting images on cpaptalk.com


1. Be sure your viewing window on the pc is at full-size, so all the data is visible.
2. Hit the Print Screen key on the keyboard.
3. Open your photo editing program. (I use MS Photo Editor.)
4. Open a new file in your photo program and paste (Ctrl+V) the image in.
5. Crop the image to remove extraneous info (like your name, for instance).
6. Save the cropped image to your pc as a .jpg file (perhaps on the Desktop, so it's easy to find).
7. Upload the .jpg to the free image-sharing site. (i use http://www.photobucket.com)
8. Name and save the image.
9. Copy the Image code on the newly-uploaded file (hover the mouse over the image, and then copy the [IMG] code from the drop-down that appears).
10. Open a new post here, and paste the Image code into the post. Make sure the [ Img ] [/Img ] codes surround the link. (with photobucket, they do that for you)

Then click on the Preview button to see if the image shows up correctly in your post. If it does, hit Submit

I'm pretty sure that dtsm meant to put the reference to photobucket in step 7, not step 4, as follows:

Could one alternatively upload the document to the Google Docs site, which also provides a URL for access ?

Any photo sharing site will work. The important thing is that the link is pasted between Img tags. Some sites will supply various versions of the link, one of them with the tags already inserted. Then you can just paste that link into your post.

Otherwise, click the Img button above the box where you type your post. That will insert the tags and place the cursor between them. Then you can post the tagless version of the link.
