You need to take a digital photo of it or use a scanner to get the image on your computer, then just follow the instruction to upload it to the forum.

One of the reasons that I use PAYPAL. It's easy to load the details of the deposit onto the screen and take a screenshot of the deposit.

If you are depositing your check into your bank account and can load up the bank statement/details of the deposit onto the internet, you can take a screenshot of the FC deposit and use that. (Crop out anything you don't want shown or use the erasure.) (My bank gives me the facility to view the check I deposited so I could take a screen shot of the check and then crop out the picture of the check in my Paint -- to remove the rest of the bank account info.)

If none of that will work, taking a picture of the check and loading the picture into the PC or scanning it in will work. You need to get that screenshot, suitably cropped, in your PC so you can create a jpeg picture of it and load the jpeg picture into TinyPics, and then have Tinypics create a URL (for forums) that you can enter into the FC forum.


1. Once you get a picture of your check or deposit on the screen of your PC, click on the PrintScreen button.
2. Load up your Paint software and click Edit, then paste, to bring the screenshot into the Paint software.
You can "crop" the loaded screenshot to show just what needs to be shown. Use the erasure to remove anything you don't want to show (like the transaction ID or your email address or other sensitive info you don't want the world to see)
3. Use the File: Save As option to save your modified screenshot to your Shared Pictures library. I use the jpeg extension. Name it something that makes sense to you so you can find it easily. (ie FusionCashPOPmmddyr.jpeg)
4. Load up the FC Forum, Contest and Promotions, and bring up the thread about loading up your payment. Click on the reply link so you will have the page handy when you get the URL from Tinypic.

5. Load up the Tinypic.com website. (or any other image making site that gives you URLs)

(I do this on Firefox since I've had problems reading the URLs in IE.)

Click Browse and locate the jpeg picture you just created in your Shared Picture library. Click "open" to bring the picture onto the Tinypic website.

Use "Image"; and "default" for your size.

Click on Upload NOW! on the Tinypic website. Complete the capcha.

6 You will get several sets of URL. Use the one for Forums.

I have found it easiest to click on the forum URL and use the right click on my mouse to copy it then move the cursor over to the FC forum reply window, click on the reply window and then right click the mouse and paste the URL into the reply window.

(I tried writing the URL down and entering it manually, but I usually had typo's. Copy/paste works best for me.)

7. Add your comments in the reply window (usually before the URL) and then click Preview to make sure everything worked the way you wanted it to. If it looks good, click Post. If it doesn't, try again.

Took me a while to get the routine down, but now it's old hat -- and I have found the process to be useful in posting POP's for other sites. The more you do it, the easier it becomes.

That's very helpful information, swogden.

You can also scan your check, crop out any useless space and save it to any of your folders.  If you don't want your name to be seen, just open up the file in a Paint document to mark over it.  When you come back to the forum, click Additional Options and there's a option to attach a file.

Paypal users can take a screenshot as well of their email where FusionCash notified of their deposit if their concious about their account information.

Here's a question Swogden, for some reason I have an issue on my laptop to where I can't download programs, I can't update programs, and most of all I can't save .doc files, or a variety of jpeg/jpg/gif/bmp images because of an error that comes up that says "File or directory is corrupted or unreadable".  I've researched the issue and people have to reinstall windows and start from scratch so in hesitation of doing this (Not to mention this windows came preinstalled so I have no CD) the only file I could save of a screen shot of my paypal payment was on an open office document (It's like Microsoft word) with an extension of .odt (or something of the sort)  All of those files are supposed to be able to open up on Microsoft word as well and be converted easily so do you think I will still get credited for posting that as an attachment?  It won't let me post the screenshot in the actual message of the forum either.

Hmmm....any words of wisdom?  Anyone?

It's just an educated guess, but I would say you are skating on thin ice and should get that problem resolved before disaster strikes. At least make sure you have a good backup system in place so when your hard drive joins the other 145,000 that will crash this week you will not lose everything.

Now if you want to ignore that advice, get a 4GB thumb drive (about $10 or $15) and install Linux on it as a bootable device. Then use that to get a screen shot and post it.

Cwortman:  I agree with oldbuddy.  You need to get your Windows fixed.  (I tried to do this myself when I had a virus on my PC and lost my Windows XP in the process.  Went to Staples and they saved as much of my data as they could and reinstalled Windows -- pricy, but cheaper than a new machine with XP)

Be sure to back up as much of your data (pictures, music, files etc) as you can before you try to get it fixed.

Some machines have the facility to go back and restore an earlier version of what's on your machine now.  If you remember when you started having a problem, you could try to restore your system back to that earlier time.

Re using the .odt file -- if you can edit that file so it doesn't include any information you don't want displayed, you may be able to bring it up in Tinypics to get the URL.  Can you post a URL from Tinypics into the FC forum page?

There are a lot of programs that you can use a snapshot.  I use Jing it is free.  It is very easy, you can use your print screen and then copy it to program Paint. You can also go to your start menu and click on help and support and ask that question and then you can see more options.

i dont know actually

if there's a page on the screen that you're trying to take a screen shot of there's a key on PCs that says "print screen" if you press it, it should automatically take a picture of your entire screen that's pulled up. sometimes you may have to press the FN key (which are generally on laptops i think?) at the same time you press print screen. to paste it you simply press ctrl V in any document and edit it from there
