screenshots on LQ

Can anyone show me how to add screen shots to the LQ forum. I would like to show my desktop in order to ask some questions on it.

Thanks

On the machine I'm at now (Debian lenny, Gnome) I use Fn-Ins (hold the function key and Insert key). It depends on the distribution of linux, the desktop environment, and (possibly) the machine.

I am using Slackware 13 on KDE 4

Okay, I'm logged onto my slack partition (same machine). Go to Applications>Graphics>Screen Capture Program (Ksnapshot).

most keyboards are MS Windows onse and they have a "print screen " button
but i am guessing you mean adding it to the forum

i use imagebam but any will work ( google , flicker ,...)

@JohnVV: Good suggestion, works on Debian, not on Slackware, at least not in my configuration.

@siawash: Follow JohnVV's instructions to post.

Sorry if I confused you. I am not asking how to take a screenshot, rather I am asking how to post a screenshot on LQ.?

I don't see a facility to post a screen shot on LQ.

Click "Go Advanced". On the new reply screen that opens you will see a set of icons, click the one that looks like a paperclip and upload your image.

That's great, thanks!
