~ What is the “bouncing” cupcake? ~

                    A new cupcake is coming,
                    so keep your eyes wide!
                    This new cupcake is bouncing,
                    with pep and with pride!

                    To earn it, your sharp eyes
                    will have to look close,
                    to spot all differences
                    in multiple puzzles we post!

                    Those big books, the thick ones,
                    with so many pages...
                    with this cupcake they'll count more.
                    It'll double their wages!

Stacie, there are several ways to do so. What type of computer do you have? Do you see a key call "Print Screen"? Do you have Paint? A Photobucket or Pinterest account? Some people use http://tinypic.com/


message 15: by Monica (last edited May 31, 2013 08:03AM) (new)

Monica (nutz4reading) Will this help Stacie. I posted this in my thread because someone couldn't figure it out either.

Okay you need to take a screen shot and save it to paint (at least that is what I do). Then I am not sure what to do next. I am trying to remember how I did it last time. Will edit when I figure it out.

Okay last time after I saved it to paint I uploaded it to photobucket and then posted it into the thread. I just use the HTML link from Photobucket to post the picture.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Stacie, I went to that Pinterest pic. You want to right-click on that pic and get the url of the pic, not the page you're on.

message 22: by ~Leslie~ (new)

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 2240 comments I am completely clueless. And my husband is a computer engineer. He would be so disappointed! I did the puzzle but when I tried to save it to download, because Firefox would not let me screen save it any way - the puzzle went back to being undone. Frustrating. I will have to let one of my other intrepid captains from Moonstone have all the fun solving puzzles.


message 23: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Y.U.M. Thanks, Stacie.

Yes, it can be frustrating, though it is supposed to be fun. It is one of the reasons we post a day early; to work out the kicks. ☺

Well, that sucks. I hope you try again, Leslie. Maybe one of your Teammates knows Firefox better than I do. The Print Screen key should work on any browser. **shrugs**


message 26: by Hina (last edited May 31, 2013 08:33AM) (new)

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments I used firefox and it works and as long as you hit the print screen. Then open the paint program and paste it there. Then I saved it as a JPEG and uploaded in photobucket which will provide you with the html url that you copy and paste onto here.
