    MMA-bros...please help out a tekno-dolt

    i need someone to teach me something...

    exactly what is done here...

    GuidaClayAllDay's Plays

    in post #248

    how to take and post a screenshot of a page from 5d sportsbook and also on the same page a screenshot of the windows clock

    I know how to do the simplest screenshot...of the whole monitor (using "PrtSc" key and the paint program...but don't have a clue how to cut it down to an apporpriate size and locate it on the post they way most of you guys do)...

    this may be (probably isn't tho...still thot' i should mention it) complicated by the fact that my display covers 2 monitors side by side so my resulting screen that is saved is double-width and the paint file created always has one of those horizontal slide-bars on it so that someone with a single-monitor display looking at my paint-file screenshot can take it all in

    if one of you guys walks me thru this (in a "step by step" fashion suitable for a dolt)...it'd save me a ton of time over figuring it out myself...
    _________________________

    the very fact that I have to ask demonstrates how much of a techno-dolt I am
    (outside of excel-spreadsheeting...any of this multi-media'ing and web-sharing stuff...well, in the mother tongue of Aloisius H. Grabaka, "zilcho")

    i'm intentionally NOT posting this over in PT...to avoid the usual knee-jerk
    "if you have to ask......." smart-assery


    please don't destroy my theory that tennis sub-forum guys are a major cut above that

    Screenshot, crop out everything except the windows clock, then save the file. Screenshot the 5Dimes page, crop out everything that isn't the 5Dimes page (using the crop tool, which is available in Paint and very simple to use), then just open the windows clock image and drag it into the bottom right. Just resize the canvas if you don't want to cover anything up.

    thanks, guyz...

    altho' there's far more "feathers and fur" flying around here...

    you guys just beat out the far-more-civil tennis sub-forum in this "promptness in the aid of a stranger" test

    ____________

    give me some time to digest this, guyz...check bak in a few hours/tomoro see how the dolt is getting along

    i guess the big problem is i understand the idea behind "cropping", what it does and all...just that i've never actually done it...it's not up my alley...i'm always amazed when u guyz throw together those photoshopped zingers and have stand-alone images like this



    which i STILL don't know how to do...i just "quoted" the post i was thinking of and it showed up clean as a whistle like that (thanks Broadie)

    i finally learned how to imbed a youtube vid just a few days ago...so hopefully i'll gradually get around to all those things on my "i wish i wasn't a dolt so i could _________ like everybody else on sbr" list

    _______________________

    BTW, in light of that Sanchez debacle...i resurrected/repackaged the essence of a recent thread's posts that deals with the systemic roots of the "prevalence of shitty judging" problem...but WARNING: it'll still make your eyes bleed

    In the toolbar up top in the reply window, there's a portrait to the left of the youtube button. Just press that and input a direct link (a direct link) to the image, and you should be good to go.

    1. hey Sykes, is this the software you use for this sort of stuff?

    2. i used to see you all the time over at Hougigo's mostly-boxing thread...i've checked back a number of times and that thread seems to have dried up...where's the best place for "betting on boxing" talk now...would be convenient if something good right here on good 'ole "80cents a day, trolls encouraged" sbr...or you go somewhere else for your fix

    Yes man, just look at my last post to you, I took a pick of your post with the time and date in it in 2 mins. That is the best screen capture thing on planet earth.

    Do miss Hougigo too, dude is good at the picks, hope hes okay not dead or nothin. No fix for me really just like the big fights, great sport to bet live on, they tell you the score half way through.
