    [Guide] Posting Lightshot prntscr Screenshots

    ~or~

    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 [IMG] [/IMG] or the forum post "Insert Image" button:

    .

    They need a little extra help.


    Open the "prntscr":

    http://prntscr.com/98injb


    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 [IMG] [/IMG] tags or the "Insert Image" button on the new URL:

    [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fuuNr4B.png[/IMG]


    And voila! Your picture is visible!






    Other handy non-Lightshot image and screenshot info can be found in a number of places in the forum. Here are a few things:

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