again easy..if you find a picture you like from a certain webpage right click on the image to save. open MSpaint click "edit" then "paste" and save as a JPEG. to take screen shots like i did for the how to press "alt" and "print screen" at the same time. open MS paint and click "edit" then "paste" and save as JPEG. go ahead and try it out...too easy
ok, i did'nt know that you were trying to post a "gif" file which is a little different then posting a normal picture since "gif." are animated. i'll have some instructions up a a little bit
cool, i learned something out of this since i never have posted animation before. i used image shack for this example. open image shack up and paste the address or URL and then click on "host it"
click on image for full view
now copy the link and paste it where you want click on image for full view

Not all gif's are animated, a standard gif allows transparency which is why they are often used, although when all browsers are able to support transparency in png's, then they will probably become the standard as they are far more superior to gif's.

Why ALT+Print Scrn? I usually use Print Scrn...what's the difference?
Alt+Print Scrn will allow only the prevailing window to be saved as a screen shot as opposed to Ctrl+print Scrn which willtake a screen shot of the entire screen
You already said that. I tried Print Scrn, CTL + Print Scrn, and ALT + Print Scrn. I got the same entire window shot with all of them. Does it matter which OS you're running?
It's not a big deal really. It's just that every time I paste the picture I have to crop things off, etc....It would be less time consuming if I could do what you do.
Make sure the window is actually active and not the screen, if you left click what is viewable of your desktop then that means the screen is active, and everything will be captured. Left click on the window that you want to be active, then try and you should be able to capture just the window.
I'm sure what the difference is between click the screen, and clicking the window. I usually just left-click the middle of the screen/window/picture whatever it's called and take the screen shot.
