how do you

this will probably be a stupid question for many of you, but how do you get screenshots from the game?

Most keyboards (PC) have a Print Screen button. If you have that (normally on F11), you can hit that when you are you on a screen in game and it will copy the image on your screen to clipboard, which you could then paste to an image editing program.

Then there are also some programs that are a bit fancier that have more options and tools specifically for screenshot capturing, but that's the basic way it can be done, anyway.

If you're using PrintScreen, hold down ALT to capture just the active window, that'll save you a little work trimming the screenshot down in a paint program.

And if you want to get the whole window on the Mac, follow the above with a tap of the space bar, then the cursor icon changes from a crosshair to a camera and you can select the window you want to screen shot.

Command, shift 3 captures the whole screen. It is useful when you want to include a popup, or things of that nature. The screenshot can then be cropped in the Preview app before uploading.

I like to use Preview to identify the area of interest before uploading.
