Hi Ushy Most of us use
Hi Ushy
Most of us use MWsnap to take pictures it is a free download or if you have windows 7 it has a snipping tool which is easy to use. With both of these you can save to your computer then upload to a online picture site. I use Photobucket and them upload to Africam from there.

Hi. Since some time I try to find out how I can take a pic from one of the cam and post it on fb. I read the instructions on "how to post.....". But I am not able to understand it, sorry.
Somebody can help me how to do?
Thanks alot
hi coconut, yes it is still
hi coconut, yes it is still being done by many of us. many different ways to do it but main thing is first to get a picture using something like the snipping tool, or many of us use mwsnap program. From there you can either use a hosting site such as photobucket or africams own hosting with the image picker feature. Then it is just a matter of posting the image with image picker or the IMG link from photobucket. We have a daily created cam pics thread for posting pics from the waterholes. Any questions feel free to ask. Good camming.
eta: in the how to's and useful link above you will find more information about getting captures of pics and how to post them also.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.... especially when the cams go down.

Fyi I just selected "preview your comment" and lost my post entirely.
I have just logged in, then tried to access my account. I am told my email "seems to be invalid" although I have been a member, I believe, for about a year and nothing has changed (although I have not checked in often).
I have just taken out a 3 months paid subscription and do not know if the email issue may affect that also. Can you help?
Thanks!
