I have seen a number of posters have pictures attached to their messages. Where do they get the pictures from?

In WitP you simply hit your Print Screen key (if windowed mode, use Alt key & Print Screen).

That puts it in your clipboard.

From there, it is a matter of pasting it into some art type program and resizing/scaling it down to fit the forum posting rules.

I use IRFANVIEW myself as it lets me go from screen shot to post in seconds. Once of the best free handlers around.

If you go that route, once you have it installed, you would hit Ctrl-V to paste the image, Ctrl-R to resize it down to 800x600 so it doesn't make the forum scroll sideways, then S to Save as ... and pick a type of JPG and set the save quality at 80% (reduces the file size to make it easy on people reading).
