I saw people asking about how to take screenshots/gifs in-game. This isn't the only way to do it, but they are pretty easy!
Taking Screenshots:
The most simple way to take screenshots is to: use the Print-Screen button (Red) on your keyboard.
Then you open up a program like Paint, Sai, GIMP or Photoshop to paste the image into it.
Save the picture and now you have a screenshot!
If you have a Windows 10 computer you can: hold down the Windows Key (Blue), and press Print-Screen (Red).
That will save a picture of your screen in: C:\Users\'your name'\Pictures\Screenshots
There are also programs that will let you take a screenshot of only parts of your screen!
Here's a list of programs you can look at and try out!
Gyazo
Light Shot

Taking GIFs:
Easiest way to take gifs would be to use Gyazo or GifCam.
GifCam offers better quality gifs:
The one to the left is with Gyazo, and the one to the right is with GifCam.
Now that you have your images/GIFs you'll need to upload them somewhere so you can use them.
(Unless you used Gyazo/Light Shot, those will have a URL you can use)
You can upload them to Imgur.com, Photobucket.com, Flickr.com, or TinyPic.com.
There's plenty other places to use, but these are common ones!
Remember for avatars or putting a picture in a post you want a link that ends with .png, .jpg or .gif.
