Hey guys how do you put a screen shot on a message?

Okay, well it's a multi-step process, first you have to

1. Take the screenshot.
2. Get it on the internet (to share)
3. Then post it onthe forums



1. - to take a screenshot on Jedi Academy you can type /screenshot in the console, or bind it to a key (type /bind <letter> screenshot
Alternatively, you can hit your Printscreen button (for a screenshot of the whole screen) or use Alt+PrintScreen (for just the window you are in) above your arrow and Insert keys, then copy it into MS paint and save it.

2. then you have to upload it onto the interwebz. There are many ways and sites to do this, I used to use www.imageshack.us, but a simple google search will help you find other sites.

You just get on the webpage, hit "browse", then find your file on your computer, and click upload!

After the "Successful Upload" page shows up, you can either copy a code for forums they give you or copy the direct link (best way)

3. Once on the forum, you just paste the code they gave you, or paste the direct link and then put [img]and[/img] tags around it
hint: if you are uploading a big picture then put [url] around the direct link

And if you have a lot of mess on your screen - like FPS and timer and lagometer (as I do) look at this simple solution for nicer screenies

I know its a small thing, but remember that gamma correction (brightness) is not applied to a screenshot. So if you want a screenie in a dark area look at /r_fullbright 1 (and set back to zero once done)
