This is meant to be only a short thread, specifically aimed at Newbies but others may benefit also.
I will explain the method in three steps :
They are -
1) Process your chart(picture) in Microsoft Paint.
2) Upload your processed image into Image Shack.
3) Copy/paste the resulting Url into your post on the forum.
Knowlege assumed : I expect readers to be competant and familiar with operating a Windows system, in particular opening and finding new files.
The Image Shack website will be used.The Image Shack website loads images only with 1.5 megabytes or less. That is why Image Shack both resizes your image and gets it ready for posting onto a forum. However, I have found the resizing function to be tempermental so here is the better method.
STEP ONE
Preliminary
Open your live forex charts and choose the chart(picture) you want.
Press Print Screen on the keyboard then open Paint.
Edit/paste to get chart/picture into Paint.
Then File/Save As to get the chart/picture into a file of your choice (possibly My Pictures).
Begin
1) Open the following website and load it into your Favourites. You will need it frequently.
ImageShack® - Image Hosting
2) Use File/open with.......Paint
OR
right click.................open with/Paint
to load your picture into Paint. (Here it is resized to 1.5 megabytes)
