Business As Usual Message Board

Many times I wondered how people post screen shots with proof of payment and such. I found out how and instead of putting it away and losing it again..I will post it here!

Here goes...

Here is a short tutorial on how to post a screenshot of your payment from Paypal. I tried to make this as easy as possible.

1. Log into Paypal. You should see the transaction from to yourself under recent activity. Click on the "Details" link to bring up the details of the transaction.

2. When the details of the transaction pop up, push "alt" and "Printscreen" together. This will create the screenshot.

3. Open up Microsoft Paint by clicking on Start -> All Programs -> Accessories --> Paint. When Paint is open, push "CTRL" and "V" together. This will paste the screenshot into Paint.

4. When the screenshot is pasted, save the screenshot by clicking "File" and the "Save." A new window should pop up to save the file. Save it under any filename you like but make sure in the "Save as type" box you save it as "JPEG."

5. After you save it, youre now ready to upload it to a image hosting site. The best site to go in my opinion is www.imageshack.us or http://www.photobucket.com (free).  Once youre there, you can upload your screenshot straight from your hard drive to the host site. The instructions are pretty self explanatory and you dont even need to register.

6. Once you upload it, the next page will bring you to a bunch of links. Copy the link given for "Hotlinks for forums". Take that link and then paste it anywhere in the body of your post and walla, you have yourself a screenshot.


Hope this helps! I need to go try it out now! LOL
