Then it will bring up your "Picture Manager". I have like, 10 or more pages of pictures sitting there I've used over the time I've been here. At this point you're going to want to click on the upload button, because since this is your first time, this is going to be empty.

Kanuck
Incidentally <Print Screen> (or <CRTL>+<Print Screen>) captures your entire screen. <Alt>+<Print Screen> captures only the active window which may save you some cropping.
how can we put a game (a picture of a chess board) in a post in a forum?
Sorry, I made some of these when I was in a more... playful mood.
...and follow the instructions. They're pretty intuitive.
What- are we the duelling helpful Calgarians or something?
Must be the drinking water, eh TheGrobe? Makes us want to post instructive pictures. Although I have to say, I went with red, and 'struction, whereas you went with pink and click.
Was your pinky raised? Bahaha.
We ought to meet for another pint/OTB. My company moved, so I don't work in PetroCan anymore. Anyways...
We're still waiting to see your successful post, aabbccdd!
In the interest of bandwidth I chose to save as jpg, unfortunately I turned the quality down too much, hence the colour shift (note that my name is green too).
Drop me a note -- I'm now in a different corner of downtown too.
Paint? Pfft. Save yourself some grief and download paint.net. It's one of my main photo-editing programs, and it's free! http://www.getpaint.net/

thanks for the info

Bear in mind, that if you DELETE your photos from your chess.com photo directory, any images linked to them will diappear from the forum where you posted it.
Spaces are not allowed within picture names.
Consider setting the dimensions when inserting a picture, so that the image doesn't spread too tall and wide.
paint.net is indeed a great free program for windows users.
gif files generally turn out better for screen captures than jpeg, in my experience.
If you have MS Office 2008 installed, OneNote has great screen capture capabilities built in.

A) How do you have all these old posts?
B) Are we really going to reproduce all of our departed friends posts?
C) Since this is generic Help and Support and not chess.com Help and Support, doesn't it belong in the Off-Topic forum (where the repeated posting of old messages will not clog the Most Recent Posts list)?
A) How do you have all these old posts?
I don't. Google does.
B) Are we really going to reproduce all of our departed friends posts?
No. But some of them contained guidance that was potentially helpful to everyone on this site e.g. how to post pictures. (Even though these posts are now wildly out of order. The better solution is as discussed here ... http://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/last-chance-to-see)

Since this has popped back up on my "Topics I Have Posted In" list, I feel the need to weigh in by saying that I'm really surprised that closing an account deletes all of the content associated to that account. It really undermines the integrity and value of the forum topics in which a user participated.
I've never seen a forum where this is how closed accounts are handled, and I'd hope it's something that's on the chess.com radar screen as needing to be fixed.
