Hi Bilo
Posting a chart.
I have mentioned this before on one of the FX threads...but cant find it at the moment. I did find a similar explanion that Phaedrus placed on the forum - link below. He mentions Screen Hunter which I have used in the past although I use Printkey 2000 currently - they both do a similar job.

The first thing you need to post charts is a Screen Capture
programme. This will work regardless of the source of your charts - website, MetaStock or any other charting software. An excellent screen capture utility can be downloaded from
http://www.wisdom-soft.com/downloads/downloadfiles.htm
It is called "ScreenHunter" (323KB) and will run on Win 95/98/NT4/ME/2000 and XP. This programme is free. There are no catches, no ads, and no time limits. It can capture the active window, the full screen, or any user defined rectangle. This last option is the one you want because it enables you to select only the actual graph, leaving out any toolbars etc. The file can be saved as BMP, JPG or GIF. Select the GIF option - this gives small files that are easily read by any system. A typical chart would give a BMP file of 1200KB, JPG would take 70KB, but GIF format would take less than 15KB. This makes for faster downloads. Save the file to your desktop. Do not make the charts too big. Restrict them to about 3/4 of the screen width. If you post a larger image, it makes the entire thread too wide to view directly and is very annoying for everyone.
After screen capture, save as a file and then download using the 'manage attachments' button lower down on the reply page
