I was starting a new fort. When the game begun, i saw that, i started on a mountain. The second it happened i knew it must be told of (I mean, what are the chances of starting on the TIP of a mountain.). So i being my task of carving out the full mountain. And I will tell of its story here.

Edit: Screenshots!

Save it as a PNG instead of a BMP which paint usually defaults to.

If you have Vista or Windows 7 you can use the Snipping tool. That's what I do. Click and drag, save as PNG, easy.

I'm sure there's other utilities like that as well.

After pasting in paint, crop it so it doesn't have white space. Save as .png (or paste into infanview and save as png). Upload to any image host website, I often use www.imageshack.us . After uploading there, make sure copy direct-image url and post here so you can show picture. Put the url in middle of "]" and "[".
