[edit] HOWTO take/make screenshots

Seems like there should be some assistance on how to take/make a screenshot somewhere handy around here. Might be and I'm just missing it. I might be up for working on something with someone, but figured I'd throw this here and let the idea sit for a bit first.

[edit] Which Screenshots

Screenshots of that particular revision? Because the main page talk page says to upload screenshots of the current main page to this page.

[edit] Uploading Screenshots

How do I upload a screenshot? I have have got a rather ugly screenshot with opera, and I would like to submit it... 82.164.97.17 23:56, 29 May 2004 (UTC)

You need to create an account and log in before you can upload a screenshot. When you do that, an "Upload file" link will appear on the left sidebar. If you are unwilling to create an account, ask someone with an account if they'll upload your screenshot. (Leave an email address on my talk page and I'll do it if you'd like.) --cprompt 07:22, Jun 3, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Screenshot Size

Hey...how do you get your screenshot to be the proper size? I seem to have done mine incorrectly somehow... Adam Bishop 04:13, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Mmm not sure what you mean...my concern has to do with duplication. I think we should only have unique browser/platform/resolution. Not sure if that's the case now, but we might need to remove some that are just duplicates. Hope no one gets their feelings hurt :) Dori | Talk 05:10, Feb 24, 2004 (UTC)

I mean, when you click on mine (the Netscape 7.1/XP one), it's pretty tiny, while everyone else's is actually the size of their screen. Adam Bishop 12:53, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Oh I see. That depends on how you took and saved the screenshot. What I do it maximize the browser window, press PrtScr, paste the contents into MS Paint, save it as a 24bit bitmap, open it in IrfanView and save it as a PNG. This procedure could be simpler, but that's how I prefer it. Dori | Talk 05:40, Feb 25, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Upside Down Screenshot

Why is one of the screenshots upside down? Metasquares 12:41, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Because someone thought of having a little fun I guess :) Dori | Talk 05:40, Feb 25, 2004 (UTC)

OK, now refactor the Village pump through your phone :) Dori | Talk 05:40, Feb 25, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] History revision

The revision that is supposed to be screenshotted is out of date and no longer works [1]. There are a number of incorrect template alterations etc. Should the most current version be screenshotted from now on? Estel (talk) 16:07, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)
