The following tutorial will help you learn how to take a screenshot, upload it using imgur.com and how to post it in a forum thread.
**Please note these instructions are for Windows 7 users.**

I usually use imgur.com which is a free online service used to share photos with social networking and online communities.

1. Press F2 on your keyboard to take your screenshot (or whatever key you have designated for screenshots). This picture will be saved in your .minecraft folder - more about how to find that screenshot/folder later.

2. Open imgur.com and click on the "Upload images" button located in the top left corner of the page.

3. You will see this screen next. One of the next steps you can take is to click on the "browse your computer" option.

4. You then need to find where your screenshot was saved to which is normally your minecraft folder. Type "%appdata%" in the File name box and then "Open".

5. Double click the ".minecraft" folder.

6. Double click the screenshots folder, find the picture you need, click on it and then click the "Open" button.

7. The imgur screen will now look like this. You need to click on start upload button. (You will also find 3 other options eg "drag and drop here" in this area.)

8. After imgur has uploaded your screenshot, you can then copy and paste the direct link url into your forum post.

I use Lightshot as well, but still use imgur.com for some things like forum tags etc, it is more reliable.

However, I just Lightshot and then upload that to imgur, so it is a little different :p

Yes, this is the standard one and is good to know, since Lightshot can fail etc and is less useful for getting instant screenshots.
