  • On Windows machine, use your PrintScreen (or PrtScrn or similar) key.  On its own, it will take a screenshot of your entire screen, whereas Alt-PrtScrn will do the same for the currently active window.  Then paste into graphics program of choice and save in the format of your choice.  Outside of Windows, check your utilities/graphics-utilities menus for something that has the word "capture" in it, probably.  (Or there's the exporting option within DF, for per-level map-views, if that's what you mean.)
  • There's places like TinyPic and ImageShack and Photobucket and various others that you can upload the picture to, then link/whatever accordingly.

(BTW, searching this forum for "Screenshot" gives quite a few results.  Probably better explained than mine, above, at a brief glance.)

use your printscreen button to copy an image of the screen to memory. Or use Alt-Printscreen to take a picture of the top window.

Next, open paint, and press Ctrl-V. You might want to set the default image size of paint somewhat smaller, to get rid of white edges.

Good result might be in wiki: "screenshot"

(when will they learn?)

Well if the guy doesn't know what a screenshot is, he isn't going to be able to search for that term, is he?  (Note how he doesn't use the term in his post)

You don't have to be a jerk ALL the time.  Noone online is impressed.

You assume I was referring to JetS.  And you'd be wrong.

Jerk.
