    Frequently Asked Question: How do I add screenshots to my thread?

    To take a screenshot to add to your post you'll need to open your hack in an emulator of your choice; VisualBoyAdvance, for example. In VBA, if you highlight "File" you'll see a "Screen Capture" option. As described, this will capture what's on VBA's screen and let you save the image. Now that you have your screenshot, upload it to an image hosting site such as imgur. Next, get the URL and wrap tags around it like this:
    [CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/ImrlMNF.png[/CENTER]
    Alternatively, you can add your image via this icon when creating your post, simply paste your link there and it'll wrap the tags around it for you:
