Welcome to the forums!

You have to copy to your clipboard by hitting Printscreen (or Alt + Printscreen if playing in a window), open up Paint or somesuch and paste it into that, and then save it (.pngs work best for DF screenshots). Now you go to an image uploader like imgur and follow the instructions, and you should get a code which looks like "[IMG]something.com/lettersandnumbers.png[/IMG]" which you can add to a post here. Imgur even allows you to paste into it directly from your clipboard if you prefer.

Wow.  I did not know about alt+printscreen, and I've been using windows for years.  I was just using printscreen and then cropping it all this time.

You're not alone, I always maximized the screen and hit printscreen.

Should this turn into a screenshot thread? Seeing as the thread title is a tad misleading right now.

Since the OP's question was answered, I'll hijack this thread for awesome screenshots.

I'll post some as soon as I have some.

For let's plays and community games, it would be much handier to use an extrenal screenshot program, like Screenhunter, since it saves every screenshot instead of just copying it to clipboard.
