Sorry if there's a thread on this already, but I haven't seen anything :P. Also, feel free to move this to general discussion if you feel it's better suited there Anuiran.

Found a good item that you want to show off to your friends and everybody? First thing you have to do is take a screenshot of the item you just found. To do that you have to change Diablo 3 from full screen to either windowed mode, or windowed (full screen) mode. If you try taking a screenshot of something in full screen it'll just take a picture of your desktop. If you don't know how to take a screenshot, all you have to do is press the "print screen" button by the F12 button on the keyboard.

Now that you have a screenshot, how do you show it to people? The easiest way I find is to open up MS Paint and and paste what you screenshot in it. Crop the picture so that the item is the only part of the picture and save it as whatever you want.

To post an image on the forums here what you want to do is to upload the picture to an image hosting site. There's a bunch of different kind of those sites, but I find the best and fastest way to do so is to go through Imgur since you don't have to have an account or anything. Select the image you want to post and once you do that, click on it so that it becomes it's own page. Or you can right click on the picture and select "open image in new tab." Copy the address you get, press the image button up above the text boxes here, paste the address in the box that pops up, and you should be good to go!

Now I don't want to see anymore broken images on here! :P

As @Anuiran pointed out to me, my screen shots when I press [Prt Scr] was actually saved into my Diablo III folder. On my PC they appears under Libraries/ Documents/ Diablo III. And yeah I need not take photoes with my I-Phone anymore.

Yeah I had no idea that there was a save folder for screenshots. Saves me a whole bunch of time.
