Taking Screenshots:
To take the actual shot, press Ctrl+T
To remove the various HUD elements (rider names, profile etc.) press Ctrl+U first
Screenshots are saved to My Documents > Pro Cycling Manager 2011 > Users > username > Screenshots, in a .png format.
The next step would be to convert the images into .jpg (this is not a necessary step, but i recommend it at is massively reduces page load times).
To do this you will need to download either an editing software (like Photoshop or GIMP) or i recommend Picture Converter.
To get the pictures onto the site, you will need a Photobucket (or similar) account.
Upload your images to Photobucket, then copy&paste the direct link to your post.
Then highlight the link and press the image button (the one that lookds like a picture). The code is [img][/img*] (without the star)
Also a good idea would be to read The Definitive Story Writing Guide (link found in my signature) as well. And best of luck!

1 thing i always like to say. Use Fraps for screenshots, 'cause you can immediately, in-program choose format of picture (.jpg , .png , .bmp , .tga) (so you won't have to convert it again) and it doesn't lag for a second as in-game SS "program".

When you mouse over the image, you will see a cog in the top right of the image.
Click it, then click Get Links...
Click Direct Link, the link is automatically copied.
Then just paste it here.
Highlight the link, and click the image button
