Hit the prnt scrn key on your keyboard while in game. Exit the game and open the paint program that comes with windows. Press the Ctrl + V keys and it should paste your screenshot into the paint program. You then save the picture to your hard drive.
To post a screenshot on the forum, you have to have a place to upload the picture to.

Hello,
Question 1
There are several ways to take a screenshot, I will list two.
1 - When you want to take a screenshot press the right Ctrl key and hold and then press the PrtScr key. This is a standard Windows function. You will now need to open Paint and on the menu click EDIT and then PASTE. You should now see your screenshot. Save and edit as required.
2 - Purchase something like FRAPS, this software can take both screenshots and in-game video at the press of a button. The game will freeze for a second when taking a screenshot with FRAPS, but is seemless when recording video. Please note, you may need higher system specs to use extra software.
Question 2
I personally have hosted the screenshots on another server and posted a link here.
Too get the image to display you will need to put IMG tags at either end of the link. Below is an example, remove the spaces to make it work.

There are other image hosting options, I can't recomend any as I don't use them, but I am sure someone will give you some options.
