I am NOT a regular Windows user. Instructions on how to make screenshots in Windows can be found at numerous sites on the web. These instructions from [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-xp/help/setup/take-a-screen-shot http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-xp/help/setup/take-a-screen-shot] work on the a Windows 7 computer that I sometimes use.
On many patient forums, the post editor will have an "Image" button of some sort. Sometimes, all the Image button does is insert the [img] and [/img] tags into the text; you still need to paste the url for the image between the tags.

If you are worried about leaks, it's useful to include the Flow Rate and Pressure graphs along with the Leak graph. Again both a global picture of the whole night and a close up of the troublesome leak (or a typical troublesome leak) will provide us with more information. And the more information we have, the better we can respond to your questions.
If someone asks you for additional data, it's useful to create another screenshot showing all the data---both the previously posted data and the requestedd requested data---rather than just a screen shot of the new graph.
In general when you are posting zoomed in Daily Data graphs, it helps to include the Events Table as well as the zoomed in graphs. That allows readers to put the posted data into the context of the full night.

'''Insert the Screenshots into your forum posts'''
Once you have the images uploaded to a publically publicly accessible site on the web, you still need to properly insert a link into your post so that the image shows up inside the post. In order to make the link you need the web address (url) of the image. You can easily get that off of [http://photobucket.com/ Photobucket] or [https://www.flickr.com/ Flickr] when you are looking at the image.
When you are writing a post and you reach the point where you want the image to appear, you need to copy and paste the url for the image into the post and then surround the url with the tags [img] and [/img] The tags [IMG] and [/IMG] will also work.
If you use [http://photobucket.com/ Photobucket], you can simply copy and paste the IMG link into the editing window for the post. The Photobucket link will automatically include the [IMG] and [/IMG] tags as well as a URL link.
On the [http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/ Apnea Board forums], the "Insert Image" button looks like a sun over some mountain peaks and it brings up a pop-up box that looks like this:
