Odd Happening.

I clicked on new posts and got a white screen with a bunch of stuff on it about MySQL not being able to connect. I refreshed and go a long list of stuff that looked like URL addresses. Finally, I just closed the browser and restarted it and came to woodbarter via a book mark and everything appears ok.

What are you using? pc, phone,tablet?

 

[Alan Sweet]

Desktop PC. Windows 7 Premium.

Next time it does it get a screen capture for me - if you can't connect to the site send it to my email admin at woodbarter.com.

Betcha dollars to donuts it never happens again.

If you don't know how to get a screen shot, let me know, I can walk ya through it. (What browser are you using so I can gather some info on it.)

 

[Alan Sweet]

I can make screen shots. I use Firefox

 

[ripjack13]

Right on....me too. Do you use the Awesome Screen Shot add on?

 

[Kevin]

On a PC or laptop you don't need an app or add on - all you have to do is hit the PrtSc/SysRq button and it saves the image to your clipboard, where you can just paste it into your image editor to save or edit and save.

What if my button is 2 buttons? Then what?

Sometimes you gotta hit function or alt and prt scrn

Most versions of windows also have the 'snipping' tool under start-all programs- accessories

On a mac, you can hit command shift 4

That button scrolls me up to the top of the page....??

 

[ripjack13]

I'll have to research it in the am..

Ok...I found out I need to press The fn key and the prt key then go to paint and paste....save, then post.
meh...too much work. I like the screen shot add on.

That's what I said earlier lol

But yes, the snip tool is much better for a majority of things, especially when you only want a portion of the screen to be captured.

 

[Alan Sweet]

I use the print screen and paint together. Since I leave paint open most of the time, this is no more than 3 button clicks.
Print Screen
Enlarge Paint (if not already enlarged)
Paste

I also use the snipping tool if I want just a small portion but I use Alan's method mostly because it's faster and fewer clicks . . .
