Yeah. That program is very nice to use, especially for us screenshot-nerds. You can crop, cut and edit pics very easily with that app, AND it is fairly straight forward too. I've used that for 5 years now, and I am still using it. Recommended.

To do a screenshot with IrfanView installed on your PC:
1: Take a screenshot by pressing PrntScrn on your keyboard.
2: Run IrfanView
3: Paste the screenshot by pressing CTRL + V on your keyboard (or go to Edit > Paste)

There you go. Easy peasy.

It's not so hard to make a screen shot )

It really is easy masskat, but you need a place to house the pic you want to post online first. Like I use IMGUR which is a simple image sharer. It is free to join. There are others out there also, lots of them. So, pick one if you don't already have one... photobucket is another popular one.

Once signed up for that, log in and upload the photo you want to paste here into the sharing site. Get the url to the photo from its properties. Then come back here and in your message click the 2nd button in the 2nd row of buttons above the message... it is the one with the picture frame.

When you do that you get [ i m g ] paste your link here [ / i m g ] but without the spaces and the instruction where to paste. When you have that bring the link (url) you copied and paste it in the middle of the two [img]'s and to check if you have it right, push the preview button below the message box and you should see your picture.
