What program are you using? You can save them as a .jpg file or re-crop them. Several ways. What are you trying to do, post screens or post items for sale? If for sale, cropping is the best way. It will keep the image sharp. How much do you know about image manipulation?

You can use a site like imageshack.us and upload there and just put up a thumbnail, really depends on what your trying to do.

Here`s a free program that`s like Paint but more powerful. Open your screen shot in the program and find the crop tool. Draw a box around what you want left and double click and you should have a smaller picture of say a sword. Now save this as sword1.bmp. Get a free acount at imageshack.us and upload the sword1.bmp picture there. It`ll give you a page with a lot of different choices. I usually use the Link to Forum 1 option. Copy and paste that link into your post, then preview it before posting to see if that`s how you want it to look. If not use one of the other links on imageshack. Simple eh?
