  You can never go wrong following Scott's advice. But here is another way we use in our club one of our member did on Youtube. In less than 10 minutes, you will be an ace at this. Thank you Phil, and thank you also Scott for all the help you give everyone in the forums.

   

  Okay - here goes.

  Be gentle boys and girls, it's my first time! And I don't have a Kelsey to test stuff for me - so if the end result is you pulling your hair out, just count to ten and drop me a line.

  VIDEO ONE is a 2 minute tutorial on installing the app I use for posting images - the imaginatively entitled postimage. I don't want to teach ANYONE to suck eggs - it's a disgusting practice anyway - but one NewHavener told me all they can do with the computer is switch it on, and Mike says I have to imagine everyone's stupid - no comment, Mikey. So forgive me if this is a little basic, and yes the music drove mad, too - make sure you mute it or hit the pause button at 1:50 or you'll go deaf!.

  VIDEO TWO comes in at 2 minutes as well and mercifully minus the music this one takes you through the three methods used to activate the app. Patience, young Grasshopper...

  VIDEO THREE is a(nother) 2-minute tutorial showing you how to put a scorecard in a post on the forum. TA-DA!

  Postimage appears to be a good tool for the job.(copy, crop, upload, paste all in one place)  Just don't know about needing to download another program on a computer to do this.

  Tinypic is just one a many upload sites for this operation, so no need to download anything.  Most OS's have a means to copy, crop, and paste built in.  Win7 has 2.  Paint and the snipping tool.  I use Paint, unsure of using snipping tool, have heard it is actually easier.   I started with Paint on XP and have just stuck with it.

  Scott showed you how to upload and insert the link into the forum.  Use the FAQ and you can find how to use Paint to copy, edit, and save your scorecard.  Then follow Scotts'.

  Don't get me wrong.  Postimage looks nice, but just don't see the need.

   

  Edit.  On a side note Big.  If you didn't save that scorecard somewhere, it is lost.

  If you didn't take a screen shot of the card on March 29th and save it to your computer, WGT cannot retrieve it now.

  BTW, just 2 spots above where I found your post, there's a 20 page thread on how to post a scorecard online in this Community Help Section.

  A couple reasons i like Postimage better...by the time you are typing in your security code to even let it upload your image on Tinypic, mine will already be copied, pasted, posted and done. Its that fast. The other is with Postimage there is no need to save anything to paint then to a file. You copy the image straight off your screen. Try it and see for yourself, you can always delete it after if you dont like it.

  To each his own though :-)  And as Samantha said, Scott is aces.

  Actually it's faster than that. By the time you save your image to paint, my image, using Postimage, is already copied and posted. Just use your mouse to *outline* the image right off the screen.

  They all work, whatever is easier for each person, is always the best way :-)

  More options:

  New Windows versions (e.g. Win7) have a Snipping Tool included which provides for easy selection, cut and save of a custom screen snippet without extra program download.

  I use Imageshack as an online picture host via browser or their uploader program. Drop the picture file(s) in an entry frame, "upload" and select all the resulting direct links in one further copy&paste step. It signs in online by itself.

  Like i said everyone uses what they like the best, all im saying is with PostImage, you dont need to even turn your image into a file....no picture host needed.....no screen shot....nothing.....just outline the image with your cursor, copy and paste....5 seconds....done...ive never known anyone that tried it that didnt think  " jeeze this is the easiest thing ive ever used".

  With all these options, everyone has a favorite :-)  Ok im done lol

  Sweet Swings everyone.
