Annexing screenshots to the threads

A newb question, I know, but let's have it.

The screenshots I take open in Windows Picture Viewer. Allright with that, but though I copy it, there is no way I can paste it into a reply here in the forum. I tried everything, including copy-and-paste directly from the folder and etc.

Does the screenshots require some specific picture viewer for that?

No, but the forum is incapable of reading your computer, especially when it's off.

Go to www.photobucket.com and open a free account. They will tell you how to upload your pictures to their service, and will automatically convert them to jpegs, so you don't have to. Then you can copy them there and paste them here with no trouble. They will even properly size them for you. The pictures will be hosted on their server so you can them place them anywhere you want.

Oh! I get it now. I suppose subsim imposes this to diminish chances of viruses and such. It's fair.

Ok, i'll go see photobucket right away. Thanks for the help.
