Impossible? You just have to go to the place where Nymo was in the picture. It's very easy.

For people who know their way around FR very well... LOL. I have my suspicions, so it looks like I need to put on my adventuring outfit *plops on seeker hat* and go exploring.

Good luck to everyone!

There's something I know several people are having an issue with: Taking a screenshot.

Something many like to do is to Ctrl + Prt Sc (pressing the 'control' and 'print screen' keys on the keyboard) and pasting that image to a photo editing program like Microsoft Paint or something, but there's a much easier process that literally takes just one key to press.

While in game, all you have to do is press "F12" on your keyboard. If you want to completely clear out the interface (aka: no menus), press "F10" (note that you have to enable that option on the settings screen in-game).

From there, it's just a matter of finding your screenshots in a specific folder. Open up a Windows Explorer window and enter:
For Windows XP users:
C:\Program Files\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\Free Realms\ImageCaptureOutput\
For Windows Vista users
C:\Users\YOURCOMPUTERACCOUNTNAMEHERE\AppData\LocalLow\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\Free Realms\ImageCaptureOutput\
Of course, you will have to replace the "YOURCOMPUTERACCOUNTNAMEHERE" with your name you use on your computer. No word for Windows 7 users, but I believe it's the same as Vista.
For more, check out this thread, or better yet, this specific post.

now, Where do you upload your photo?
There's various online photo hosting sites out there. There's Photobucket, Imageshack, and more. (my personal favorite is a little thing called maj. no ads, just bare-bones photo uploading.)
Also, did you know you can upload to Free Realms Insider? Every account can upload a set number of photos and you can make your own albums. From the "Quick Links" icon on the top right of every page (it looks like a set of chains), click it and look for "My Photos & Albums" at the bottom of the drop-down menu list.

From there, just upload and copy the URL link for the photo and post the image here at the official entry thread!

If all that seemed a little difficult or beyond your reach, don't forget that you can work as a team and be in a group photo with others. The one uploading the screenshot and posting it here will just have to list all the people in the group for them to be entered.

Again, good luck to everyone!
