It has been brought to my attention by Jack Edwards that I have been "spamming". I am not sure what that means. However, on looking at my screenshots, it appears that it may be the advertising banners on them.
It has taken me over 7 hours just to get the screenshots posted. I am still not sure just how I managed to do it. You can rest assured that it was not done intentionally by me. There is still one screenshot left to be posted. I think that I shall leave it well alone. Please accept my sincere apologies for any and all offences that I have committed in trying to get screenshots onto these forums. Kind regards.

Might, and I'm saying might mind, have something to do with the half a dozen hundred new threads that you started up over the past few hours all about pretty much the same thing. If you had a screenshot question, why not post the eventual screenshots that you got in those threads? There's no need to constantly open new topics for the same thing.
At most you needed two topics. One to ask how to post screenies, and one to post screenies. OK, there were mistakes in posting them up, but these could have been rectified by follow ups in the same thread.
Plus, you just uploaded an image. No description, no reason given, no real intent to start a discussion. Just an image, and quite frankly that's just useless to anyone.
Keep at it, but for the love of God think of the digital trees with all this acreage of forum space you're taking up.

Spamming is opening threads one after another when you didn't really need too. You could have asked for help in your original thread rather than opening up another one.

Millie and adonis. Thanks for your replies. If you read the last paragraph of my initial post this evening, it may help in explaining why I tried, so disastrously, to do screenshots.
I did get some advice on how to do screenshots from a friend. However, his advice did not impart all the information that I required. I still do not have the instructions in a simple enough style to enable me to do screenshots.
I do not have any pc knowledge tuition and all "manuals" are of little use to people like myself who do not know about the working of pcs. Millie, you lost me when you mentioned multiple threads. Sorry! Kind regards.

On the first page of this tactics and training forum, you will see a list of titles, such as re. my"spamming" errors. FAO all mods et al. Each one of those titles is a thread.
When you click on it it takes you to the first "post" or message in that thread. By "posting" a reply you add to that thread.
What you did wrong was to keep opening new threads. What you should of done is keep replying to your origional thread. This way all the information you want is in one place and we can answer your questions in one place.
Spamming is classed as opening lots of different threads or posting usless rubbish in an existing thread.
Why is spamming bad? Well as you can see the first page can only hold a list of so many threads, if lots of rubbish threads are posted, the good useful threads are knocked off the first page of the forum and lost from sight.
I hope this helps explain what you have done wrong and what to do next time?
