The easiest way is to download fraps (http://www.fraps.com/) and use that. But it's not necessary - you can also hit print screen, and then open up MS Paint, Photoshop or any such program, and then hit ctrl+v. The downside with that is that if you don't save your picture before you hit print screen again, the first picture will be lost forever.

That's how you do it. It's highly recommended that you turn banners off and have no unit visible in the picture selected (or just turn of the green arrows). Also recommended is using the minimal_ui on, and hit F5, F6 twice and F7. That way the only thing left that you need to remove from the picture is your mouse cursor, which you can easily do by putting it for example in the blue sky, and then painting over it with the same shade of blue. Just cropping it out works too, but you get more of the action in the picture this way.

what happened to the FEB contest?

There is so much traffic here lately that things very quickly get pushed to the next page. It's there - with the winner acknowledged, and a sig banner presented, and the winner responding too.

Ah, I'd never noticed that folder. Forget that part, then.

There you have two places to upload your picture. (If you choose the second one, make sure that the code is correct - the autogenerated one adds www.imagedump.us where it shouldn't be, so if you take that code you'll have to delete that part.)
