Posting Images

sorry for a dumb question

from GalCiv3 Forums

I feel dumb for having to ask this, but I've been having issues posting my screenshots either to steam or to this forum...the instructions for doing it on steam are for some reason baffling me, and the insert image button didn't work when I tried to insert them here (best I managed was an empty square).    :|

 

It's not too important, but I'd like to be able to give visual aids when I post suggestions or bugs.

Steam has a built in function for ScreenShots and I think the default key is F12.

In any case you should head into your game and press Shift-Tab, this brings the ingame Steam menu where you can configure the key for screenshots and where they will be saved. Just pic a location on your hard drive that is convenient for you to access and try it.

You should hear the sound of a camera when you press F12 in game. That lets you know steam has taken and saved the screeshot.

 

Once you have you screenShots taken, you can host them on a site such as IMGUR or Photobucket and from there you can post the url and share them with ease and speed.  I like IMGUR because its really fast to use. I can hold my breath take a screenshot and have it posted on the forum before I run out of air. See Ill try right now...

 I could almost have done it twice with one breath :p

I looked at 5 different explanations on steam forums of how to do this, and they all forgot the last step.  Derp.

Thank you.
