Never tried but Prnt Scrn copies your whole desktop to the clipboard. Or Alt + Prnt Scrn copies just the active window to the clipboard. Then you can paste it into a paint program and save it.

Then upload to photobucket or similar and copy the link from there.

It's easier and better in Ubuntu Linux. Alt+ Print Scrn Saves the active window directly as a .png image file.. A lot less faffing about...

And it makes a nice camera shutter sound when doing it too 8-)

Windows 7 (maybe VIsta too) has the Snipping Tool.. allows you to drag a box around the area of the screen you want and then you can do file- save as (it defaults to png). If the forum allowed PDFs it'd be far easier, then it can be a CTRL+P in Chrome from the citroen service docs, and change the destination to save as pdf :)
