Cant Screenshot

edward404 · Feb 24, 2021

I am having trouble with screenshots. I have tried, alt+F10, alt+F2, Alt+12 and the screenshot button.
Can someone tell me how to screenshot reliably please?

thanks

F10 is standard screenshot. Alt+F10 is high res screenshot, available in solo only.

If you are running GeForce Experience then it hijacks Alt F10 by default and will need changing also.

Also if you want to post on this forum you need to convert the image to <1MB or use a hosting service that does conversion for you...
All Images are converted to FDEV domain hosted images so size in Byte is limited...

Yes, this is always good to know. I've started using imgbb and using the html embed codes because it lets me upload my 25+mb, 8k screenshots

Cookies are accepted, and I can see all (usually) other images or videos

Simple PrintScreen is working, too

Since it is not a direct link to an image file, Firefox seems to regard this as a possible tracker, which I guess is not wrong.

That's why you always make sure to use only direct image links (example.com/image.jpg) in signatures (well everywhere really) to minimize complications.

As a workaround, you can ignore/block the element with APB (didn't know people still use that) so at least it doesn't waste space.
