How To Create A Screenshot

[Simmo!]

1. When viewing the pretty symbols that just fell in, hold down the ALT key and press the Print Screen key.

2. Goto Start/Programs/Accessories and open the Paint application.

3. Hold down the CTRL key and press V to paste the shot into Paint.

4. Save the file as a JPG file, for example, "pretty.JPG". NB: Its important you do this now to prevent quality degradation on resize.

5. From the Image menu in Paint, select Sketch/Skew and set the Horizontal and Vertical settings to 70%.

6. Save the file again but using a different name, for example, "Pretty1.JPG".

Now you are ready to upload it...

Awesome Simmo!!!

I know it's been explained a million times here through various threads, but the explanations are routinely vague, AND I'm using a Korean/English Keyboard (with Windows in Korean). Thank you greatly for the step-by-step procedure. I look forward to posting some screenshots now. Now, if I could post more Emma Peel screenshots , that would make the world a FAR greater place.

I would modify Simmo's excellcent explanation just slightly when it comes to keeping T&C when you make a withdrawal:

1. When you have the relevant T&C in your main window, make sure that main window is maximized (click the middle square in the top right corner of your browser), which means that the window is the only thing you see on your screen.

2. If you're using Windows, put your cursor over the clock on the toolbar. The present date should appear near the clock.

3.Simply hit the PrtScn key (you don't have to hold the Alt key down for this).

4.Now, just follow Simmo's steps 2-6!

You now have a copy of the casino's T&C (along with the date clearly visible!) to send to them if/when they say that you violated them.

Depending on the length of the T&C, you may have to scroll down and repeat Steps 1-4 until you have all the T&C. Your choice!

Weird you should mention this, i was thinking about this last night. I found an ActiveX control that takes in a direct paste from the ALT+Print Screen function and i was thinking it would be cool to have a little app that allowed users to capture T&C's

The biggest thing for me was having some way to prove what day you found those T&C. With the date there in the window, it seemed the simplest way to prove when you printed the screen.

Simmo... when I do this and skew it to 75% both dimensions, it's still too large to upload here. My desktop res. is 1024X768, my color is set the 32bit and the highest quality and I use the casino in fullscreen mode. Could this be why mine are too large still????

Tim,
Your screen res will affect the screenshot size.
After point 5. click on 'Image' then 'Attributes' then check your screenie is less than 640 pixels wide & 480 high and 'size on disk' is under 100,000 bytes.

If it's bigger than this, then go 'edit', 'undo', & reduce it again to 70% or 65% instead until it's small enough!

[Simmo!]

Yeah sorry it should have read 70%, not 75% Tim Edited the initial post.

Sorry Simmo, I already posted my version in another thread behind you without seeing this first.

The only beneficial shortcut I use is resizing. I like to keep the original size on my computer and this saves a step.

Many hosting sites will host for a limited time.

www.imageshack.us hosts forever and they have a 2 click 640 X 480 resize feature. Saves you about 30 nerd seconds and a fingernail, lol.

phpbb even has a MOD directly using ImageShack within the forum if the webmaster so desires.
