Hi there,

You should have a look at the first threads in the screen shot forum. It's all there...

Cheers!

and more, about posting screenshots is right here: http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds/main/howto/ssf.htm

And to answer your question simply, yes, they do need to be either .jpg or .gif. The preferred format is .jpg, because you can compress the image more and not lose the quality. .BMP images are usually huge file sizes-measured in megabytes rather than kilobytes as .jpeg and .gif are. The max size for uploading here is 100kb. Anything larger than that will be rejected by the software.
