I use Opera as my web browser. It's better than IE, that's for sure. And it looks swanky.

The skin is Opera Crystal ver 3.0.

There should be a Print Screen button, that saves the desktop, open up Paint, Paste, save as a Jpeg. and your done.

Make sure you save as a .jpg as a .bmp will likely be excessively large. The PrtScr (Print Screen) button is usually in the top right hand half of a keyboard. Once you press that, use any graphics program - paint will do, but I used Irfanview - hit ctrl-v, or edit->paste and you get a picture of your screen. Save it to .jpg as Ace mentioned. Then upload the picture to a server, I recommend Photobucket. Once you have an account, and you've submitted the picture, you can then post a url to the picture.

Does that sound easy or what? :P ;)

She uploaded stuff before, I don't think space is an issue.

Yeah, I use this SDN skin because it helps in figuring out who is signed in here, and fast. Cpl Kendall or myself. He uses the general skin that non members can see, the blue one. Looks like alot of people use that skin too. You can change it in your profile. In case you didn't know :wink:

And yes, I know, we do have problems with IE but just haven't bothered to change it. We're used to the setup and find that Netscape has worked like crap for us in the past. Don't know... why is it so bad for people to use IE in your opinion. BTW I knew someone was gonna comment on that one :wink: :lol:

Netscape IS, or at least has been, crap. Don't even waste your time with it -- try Mozilla Firefox instead.

You can check the Gaming & Computers forum for a list of reasons why IE is so bad to use. In particular, look at the "MSIE Bugs" sticky at the top of the forum.

Yup thanks, I'll leave that up for Cpl Kendall to see and we'll talk about it, I don't really want to go changing things behind his back when I don't really know what I'm doing on this thing. I may screw it up like I have in the past :oops:

Opera pwns (preloaded bookmarks includes Talk.Origins!) and this skin is small and easy on the eyes.

I love the Noia theme for FireFox, it looks the best without huge amounts of darkness or brightness; just right.

Firefox and good ole BlackSoul

Blacksoul is the only way I'll see this board, ever.

That's milleniumFalcon you heathen!

Anyway, mine looks exactly like Mrs Kendalls so there's no point in posting a pic: IE with milleniumFalcon SDN.

Using Firefox w/ Phoenity on a *gasp* Windows laptop (I accidently nuked my linux partition, and don't feel like downloading everything over dialup again... and I don't have internet access anyway (currently using broadband from one of my neighbors since most aren't secured- only the laptop has wireless, and it's my sister's).

It is the one true skin. Go cleanse thyself.

I'm using default Opera 7.5.
