Same happened to me. My son told me once I took them I was supposed to save them to some file or clipboard now. This is a PC tower, standard Windows, ect. Sounded like gibberish to my non computer savvy brain and promptly forgot what he said and why.

Well I got them moved to docs and then pics but I still can’t figure out how to post them here.

I mean I know I there is a site where I can upload it (although the name escapes me right now) and then download it here but I can’t figure out how to make it go straight from my computer to the forums.

I think it’s imgur?

Yes! That is it!

But I would rather just post them straight from my computer.

fairly certain you have to use external site and link to it and a number of links dont work without trust levels.

wow isnt hosting the images etc.

can’t figure it out either. Spent a couple hours at it one day a while back and finally just said the usual: …it!

We both have the high enough Trust level. Imgur just wasn’t easy to navigate - to understand?? idk how to explain. I tried everything one afternoon.

You should both be grateful it was the C drive and not the crusty external F drive he pulls out on Friday nights

You cannot upload photos from your computer to the forums. You must link from an outside photo hosting account.

Well, that would explain why I can’t make it work.

Thank you, both of you.

It was just a funny scene I wanted to share here. Maybe if I am bored later i will dig out my Ingur info and go thru the process to upload/download it.

Oh darn, the scene must have glitched when I took the pic because it is different. And weirder :face_with_monocle:.

Giving up and going to continue on my way to smithing Black Planar Edge reborn, Blazeguard reborn, Deep Thunder reborn, Dragonmaw reborn and Mooncleaver reborn after 50 days of farming /crafting mats for them. (So excited!)

ETA: and there are battle pets here too! My cup runneth over!

This happens a lot.

Instead of using the in-game screenshot tool, I’d recommend the tools built into operating systems.

Windows 10/11

Press ShiftS to bring up the screenshot tool, choose full screen or part of screen, and capture.

macOS Mojave (10.14) and newer

Press Shift5 to bring up the screenshot tool, choose full screen or part of screen, and capture. This shortcut will also allow you to record your screen to a video file.

These give more control and capabilities and don’t require installing any third party programs for cropping and such.
