All windows are not the same, and there's a different procedure to getting images to show up depending on what application the window belongs to. To post an image in a forum like this, you usually use the [img] tags and link to the picture on your server (but it's not the same for all forums).

And by "your server" do you mean my personal Web page? I don't HAVE one! Oh, man ... my question is confusing people, I see! Or maybe I'M the one who's confused. LOL

I've seen all sorts of screen shots pasted on various sites (e.g., Mac support sites, forums of various topics--gardening, computers, pets, bodybuilding, etc., whatever!). And the screen shot image is just posted RIGHT in there, in the forum! Like for example, if someone is having problems with their Console log, they say, "Hey, here's what my console log looks like. Can anyone decipher these messages?" And they post an image of their Console log right in the forum!

What are we going to do with you

When you make a post and want to attach something, under where you type your post, under the Smilies and under the Submit button, scroll down and you'll see a button 'Manage Attachments'. Click that, another window will open and you can upload your ScreenShot using the Browse button to browse the files on your machine.

You might want to check your ISP's home site, most give you space on their servers to upload/store things.

And, you don't have to use the Grab app to take a screenshot as was mentioned earlier in this thread.

Command-Shift-3 for the whole screen

or

Command-Shift-4 gives you a crosshair to drag to select the portion to snap. It's saved to your Desktop automatically.

The latter me thinks

Are you sure? Check with your ISP as I mentioned in the last post.

"Hey, here's what my console log looks like. Can anyone decipher these messages?" And they post an image of their Console log right in the forum!

That's different, the log posted isn't a screen shot. It's copied text. You can open your Console and copy any text, then paste it in a web form such as a post here.

Don't make us take your Mac away from you

Noooooo, it's a screen shot. I KNOW how to copy and paste text--give me SOME credit! LOL No, no ... this is an actual screen shot image of the ENTIRE Console log window.

Sorry for my pain-in-the-butt questions, but hey, I'm learning!

Hey, it worked! It WORKED! You can't SEE the damn thing 'cause it's too small, but it WORKED! Me so happy!

Thanks for all your help! Much appreciated! I never even saw the darn Manage Attachments option!!!!

Now, wait. Before anyone starts yelling and threatening to take my Mac away: I KNOW you can click on the small image to view a larger image. LOL
