The Hidden Trick to prntscrs


This comes up fairly often so here's a (very) quick "How To" for posting Lightshot's "prntscr" screenshots in the forum.


"prntscr" URLs don't work with the BB code image tags or the forum post "Insert Image" button:

They need a little extra help.


Open the "prntscr":

Rightclick the image:

Either copy the image URL there or open the image in a new tab and copy it from the address bar:

Use the tags or the "Insert Image" button on the new URL:

And voila! Your picture is visible! :cool:

Doesn't work for lightshot anymore for quite some time now. Posting it to imgur will work, as you seem to have done anyway?
