RE: Game Screenshots

I do this:
1. press the Print Scrn button on the top row of the keyboard.
2. Open the Paint program
3. Press the CTRL and V keys together quickly to paste the screen shot into the paint area. (This is one of those normal universal key combos for pasting something you just copied. When you highlight text on the screen, the normal copy command is CTRL+C. You'll be a super computer user one day![yesnod])
4. Depending on your version of Paint there may be some white around the area. If there is click the crop button at the top row of options. This will work as long as you still have the little dancing dashed line. If you don't have the dancing dashed line you will need to use the selection rectangle tool first.
5. Choose File, Save, then save as a JPG in your photos folder.
6. Lastly go to Facebook and choose the post picture button. Then find the JPG you just saved.

I also have some good news for you (without the cocky "let me google that for you" from above.

When it gets released on Steam you will be able to take screenshots using the F12 button.
These are stored on the cloud server and have sharing buttons, making it very very easy :)

I hadn't heard about that feature. Will be useful, I'm sure. Let's see if it comes to Alpha 3.[cool]

Oh it's a Steam feature. They use an overlay that allows you to chat with others, browse guides, take screenshots, ... So it will be there as soon as A3 is released! yay!
It's quite handy and Frontier doesn't have to do anything special for it, except maybe make sure the F11 or F12 key isn't used for closing the game :)
