You should always use https://imgbb.com or https://postimages.org to host your payment proof images.
The reason is because other image hosts might delete images after a certain period of time.
https://imgbb.com and https://postimages.org are easy to use and will never delete your images.
How to post a payment proof on GAB
The first step is: Capturing the image.
Here are two ways to capture an image:
One way is:
Find the -PRT SC- button on your keyboard.
It should be near the F12 or Delete or backspace button.
When you press the PRT SC button, everything on your screen will be captured.
Nothing will happen on the screen. But a screenshot of your screen is now captured.
Now you need to find the Paint program in Windows, so that you can see the image you have captured.
Find -Paint- in Windows. Search for it or go to your start menu and find it.
Once you have -Paint- open, you just need to paste the image that has been captured.
Find -paste- in the menu or press ( CTRL + V ) for shortcut to paste the image.
You should now see the image you have captured.
Edit out the transaction number for your own safety and fix the image to look they way you want it to.
Play around with this paint program and you will get a hang of it.
To undo any mistake you make in paint, just go to undo in the menu or press ( CTRL + Z ) and it will undo changes.
You can even undo many times in a row if you need to.
Once you are satisfied with your image, save it.
You can always right click on any image file in Windows and go to edit and you will be back in Paint and can edit the image any way you like.
Another way to capture an image is Snipping Tool
Search for Snipping tool in Windows and once you have it open, click new, and click with your mouse and drag what you want to capture. Once you let go, it's captured.
Now go to File, Save as and save the image file.
On a newer version of Snipping Tool, you have to right click on the image itself and then go to save as.
You can always right click on any image file in Windows and go to edit and you will be back in Paint and can edit the image any way you like.
Once you are satisfied with your image, you will need to upload it.
The second step is: Uploading your image to an image host.
Use https://imgbb.com to upload your images.
You do not need to create an account with IMGBB in order to upload images.
Simply click on the blue "Start Uploading" button and select your image file from your computer.
Make sure to leave the "Don't autodelete" option as it is and click on the green Upload button.
Now you will see something like this:
https://ibb.co/9pcmVSz
You need to copy this by clicking on it and then clicking the little COPY button that appears.
You can also copy by clicking on the text and then right clicking and selecting Copy or ( CTRL+C ) for shortcut.
Now you need to paste this link into your web browser by right clicking in the web browser's url location and clicking Paste or by pressing ( CTRL+V ) for shortcut.
Then press Enter on your keyboard.
Once you are at your url: https://ibb.co/9pcmVSz
You need to right click on your image and select Copy image address.
You can also use https://postimages.org to upload your images.
Leave the settings "Do not resize" and "No expiration" as they are and click on the "Choose images" button.
Select the image file from your computer.
Now you need to copy the "Direct link" by clicking the button to the right of the link or by right clicking on the link itself and selecting Copy. You can also select the link and CTRL+C on your keyboard to copy the "Direct link".
The third step is: Posting your image address or direct link in our forum.
Now, all you need to do is post your image address or direct link in our forum with the "Insert image" function.
The "Insert image" function is located in this forum, up top and it is the second one from the right.
Click on it and then paste your image address or direct link by right clicking and selecting paste or by pressing CTRL+V.
You don't need to fill anything else out, just press Save.
Now you will have your image in your post.
You can resize the image by clicking on it and dragging the corners.
Please try your best and if you can't do it, the moderator or I will correct it for you.
Thank you
