Here is how to take a screen shot in Sim City. You have the option of using the built in one that comes with the game or you can make your own.
First, you need to take a screen shot of what you want. You can do this with anything on your computer, any screen. Press the Print-Screen button. Usually located on the upper-right side.
It will look something like this if you do not crop it:

Next, go into an image program that allows you to paste the image into it. Microsoft Paint allows you to do this and so do others.

Next, you must upload your photo to the internet. If you try to post it from your C drive on your computer, it will not show up. There are many free places that allow you to upload. http://photobucket.com is a great one.

Next, you need to get the url of the photo that you wish to post into the forum. You can get the url from right clicking the photo and going down to properties. It will bring you a screen that looks something like this:

Copy the url of the photo that was given and then go to the window that has the forum open. Go to the forum post box:

It should look like this [with a different url]
