Part ONE - The First Steps

Firstly: Take your picture. You can do that whit ctrl + p
Secondly: Find your picture. It should normally be located in your ThinkTanks-root-folder. It should be named: screenshot_00001 (or something like that).
Thirdly: Host your picture. There are many ways to host a picture. I would recommend:
    www.imageshack.us - - Good website. It’s a bit slow though.
    http://www.xs.to - - Best website. Easy, Fast, Dedicated.
    PTT² Upload - - For more information, please see here


Part TWO – Using The Hosting-Website
This part is the most hard, everything is explained using http://www.xs.to

Firstly: Look for a piece on the website called “Upload”. Press the button named “Search”.
Secondly: There will a window pop-up. In that window, go to your ThinkTanks-root-folder.
Thirdly: Select your screenshot from there.
Fourthly: Press “Open”
Fifthly: The window will close, and the path to your screenshot will appear.
Sixthly: Press “I accept xs.to Terms of service”
Seventhly: Press “Host Image”

Part THREE – Placing The Picture On PTT²
This part is quite easy, but follow all steps!

Firstly: xs.to will show your image.
Secondly: Look for the piece called “Direct Link”
Thirdly: Copy (ctrl+c) the link in that piece.
Fourthly: Go to the post you want PTT to show the picture.
Fifthly: type [img]
Sixthly: Paste (ctrl+v) the link after the [img]
Seventhly: type [/img] after the link.
Eighthly: Press “Submit”

Part FOUR – Looking If All Worked
If you’re really sure that it is going to work, you can skip this part, but I suggest reading it.
Firstly: Submit the post, and look what your wrote (note - you can also use 'Preview'. Go look if the picture appears.
Secondly (A): If the picture shows. Congrats!
Secondly (B): If the picture doesn’t show, you probably did something wrong, or skipped a step. Retry!

Part FIVE – For More Info…

CTRL + P Doesnt work for me,, so heres another way on your keyboard you should see PrtScn aka Print Screen do that then go to Microsoft Paint, or whatever then to edit and paste =)

CTRL + P is for in-game ThinkTanks-screenshots
CTRL + ALT + Print Screen is for normal screenshots
