Posting Payment Proofs

How do I post payment proofs?

1. Log into your PTC account (or whatever web site it is that pays you to do stuff).

2. Once you get to the page with your account history, that shows you have payments, hit the button on your jeyboard that reads, "Print Screen." It's usually located on the very top row, to the far right.

3. You'll notice that after you hit "Print Screen" nothing seems to have happened - this is ok. You'll see when you...

4. Open up the "Microsoft Paint" program. To open Paint, go to:
START>All Programs>Accessories>Paint

5. Next, make sure the square is highlighted (It's by th estar shape.) If the square is not highlited, click on it.

6. All you have to do is press on your keyboard: "cntrl" and "V" at the same time. This will paste an image of the screen shot you took when you hit the "Print Screen" key earlier. You will notice your image has a dotted border around it. To get rid of the dotted border...

7. Unhighlight the square icon (by the star icon) by clicking on another one of the paint icons (doesn't matter which one). The dotted border goes away, and now you can...

8. Edit the image by crossing out any account numbers or private information such as a social security number, if applicable. After all, you ONLY want to show proof of payment - NOT give out vital information and risk identity theft...lol Now, you can...

9. Save your work! Click on "File" from the menu bar, and then click, "Save As..." It is best to save it in your "My Pictures" section on your computer's hard drive. Name it any file you want (but make sure you don't use any special characters.)

10. Login to your online image storage account - I like to use photobucket.com.
Upload and save your image and copy the BBcode link by to use in forum - either clickable thumbnail or full size and copy the link. Go to the forum and create a new topic in Payment proofs, paste your link in your new payment proof thread - it will look something like this:

Members accounts will be getting a new feature soon where they can just upload it straight into the site and other members can see the proofs. Once I finish the installs it will cut out step 10 - so no need to use photobucket :D

Also it is not a requirement to post payment proof for any of my sites - it is voluntary.
