    It's about time you got the hang of posting pics and screenshots :)

    Maximise the Disk Management window. Press the Print Screen key. Open Paint(press Windows key and start typing Paint) Click anywhere within the Paint window and then right click and choose Paste. Choose to Save.
    Go to https://postimages.org Click on Choose Images. Navigate to where you saved the image and choose to enter.
    Copy and Paste the produced Direct link in your reply.

    It's ok. Don't worry. I've only recently got back in.

    You didn't follow the guide. There was no mention of signing up, nor a password within it.

    I needed that to register with postimages.gov as a new user.

    I can right click on the image in my documents but I cannot right click and paste when trying to enter it on here. The paste facility is not highlighted.

    Nope. There is no need to register with https://postimages.org in order to utilise it.

    None at all.

    If Paste is not highlighted, it means that you did not copy the link in the first place.

    Examples;

    As you can see. No account.
    Click on the blue icon at the end of the link in order to copy it.

    How can I post images to a forum?
    Click the "Choose images" button on the main PostImage page.
    Select the images you need to upload in the file browser that pops up. Once you click "Open", images will immediately start uploading.
    After your images have been uploaded, you will see an admin gallery view. Click the second drop-down box to the left of the code box and select "Direct link". If you only uploaded one image, this option will be in plain view instead.
    Click the Copy button to the right of the code box
    Open your forum's post editor.
    Paste the code copied from PostImage into the editor.
  • Everywhere; sorry to be pain but have re done it and clicked on the blue icon and it showed copied. How do I get that to the Quick Reply.please?

    This is obviously the image but where do I go from here to display it.


    If you click on the link it displays Disk which is the copied disk management page.
