Uploading a screenshot is easy, just follow these steps:
- Press the Print Screen key on your keyboard (Command+Shift+3 for Mac) - this will capture your screen and save it to a 'clipboard'.
- Open Paint or any other image editing program you have.
- Press CRTL V to paste your Print Screen. Then save the image.
- Upload the image to an image sharing site (imgur.com, photobucket.com, imageshack.us etc)
- Use the BBCode (message boards & forums) code in your post.

You could also download LightShot screen capture tool if you like.
Just print, select the area, hit the cloud button and done.

So your laptop keyboard doesn't have the keys 'Command', 'Shift', and '3'? Or what's the deal?
You won't get any more simpler than what me and Henz have told you.

Not everyone knows that the isn't labeled command.  Why do they call it the command key when the thing has an Apple on it?
Why isn't it called the Apple Key?

Really?  I've been using computers since the late 80's.  I never once remember hearing anyone call that Windows Logo key the Command key.
That has been a Mac thing.  Yes, in my rare ventures into Mac circles I had occasionally heard mention of the Command key.
Even then, I didn't bother asking of what key they spoke.  Not because it was intuitive. Because, I just didn't and don't have much interest in Mac's.

I've always called it the (Windows Key, Window Key, Logo Key, Windows Logo Key or, The key between Alt and Control OR spelled out ALT and/or CTRL)

So, yeah, sure, Maybe in your world.  Far outside my little world of North West Georgia Tri-State area and through my rare travels in Nashville, TN.   And the many locations I've had off and on contact with myriads of people around the world.  Including places such as Washington State and DC, Oregon, Chicago, Florida, Oregon, California, Quebec Canada, Various locations in Europe, and Australia.

I do suppose your particular section of this vast globe has been very accustomed to calling that little Logo key the Command Key even on windows systems.  More likely, It is a bit of an Apple centric colloquialism.  One that a convert to the Mac world from Windows machines would likely to never have heard.

Its okay.  I promise.  My blood pressure didn't rise too much while on my little soap box.  UNTIL, ( I am unkmar. not some secondary name individual.  Yet this forum admin apparently refuses to fix my account issue.)

This forum account issue will not persist for much longer without me simply going away.  And likely, beyond this rant, It will be silently and without further mention.

Side notes:
1. I once planned to donate. Because, generally, the Opticraft community is fun, kind, and supportive.
2. I then realized I could get some Opticraft goodies from the donation.
3. I do wish to have more homes.  I almost donated to get them.
4. There are several other things I have considered donating to acquire. Such as: Teleport and Mob disguises.

Lastly, I am well aware the format and content of this particular post spans multiple subjects and is therefore in bad form and poor taste.
Get over it. :P

I prefer Command+Shift+4, it saves it to the desktop. Then you just drag and drop into imgur,
 
- Upload the image to an image sharing site (imgur.com, photobucket.com, imageshack.us etc)
- Use the BBCode (message boards & forums) code in your post.

I'm not a Mac user so I quickly googled the hotkey and hoped it was right, but that hotkey sounds much better =p
