Press the Print Scr button on the top row of your keyboard, open up a graphics programme (I think Paint will do if you're on Windows), and select Edit/Paste. The image will appear and you can save it.

I ain't clicking no links, dude. Isn't there a keyboard trick I can do ?

Monkeyinshoes · 21/08/2015 18:30

Press Ctrl and Prt Sc buttons at same time.

Here you go AnyFucker www.take-a-screenshot.org

AnyFucker · 21/08/2015 18:28

Can anyone tell me how to screenshot a page please.

iamaboveandBeyond · 21/08/2015 18:28

If i hadnt been checking to see if mine was the same, i wouldnt have spotted that i missed my blog email address when i updated! So if anyone else is as dopey as me, dont forget to change that too!

scatterthenuns · 21/08/2015 18:28

That clown isn't Twisty. The clown picture being used is from American Horror Story, but it was just a generic clown. Twisty has silly hair and half of his face missing [smiles]

It will be a time when the spammers gear up a bit, I'm afraid. Like Xmas and big holidays when people might be distracted for some reason. Exercise all caution.

FishOn · 21/08/2015 18:26

phew

I did have a rough location in there a while back so maybe remembered having it from that

Blackswanlake · 21/08/2015 18:24

An attempt has been made on one of my accounts . May be coincidence .
Do not reply folks to any one like Amazon that refer to you as **user. Common sense I know but easy to forget .be vigilant .

Simurgh · 21/08/2015 18:23

That's good. All I need to do now is see my empty profile!

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 21/08/2015 18:22

actually that's a lie - I can see my empty profile, but not my public page

If your profile is empty you have no public profile page....

Simurgh · 21/08/2015 18:22

My profile was empty a few minutes back but it's now showing a processing error and not letting me in. I guess that most of the board are checking theirs and it's overloaded.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 21/08/2015 18:21

I wonder if I should buy knee pads. it's only my knees that get coldConfused

Garrick Shock knobbly?! how dare you?
I'll have you know that I have beautiful non-knobbly knees!

I am sure the leggings are Sainsbury's, through you have to be careful over the over friendly till staff.

FishOn · 21/08/2015 18:17

actually that's a lie - I can see my empty profile, but not my public page

FishOn · 21/08/2015 18:15

I can't see my profile, says it's not available. TBF it's looked like that for a couple of days

Simurgh · 21/08/2015 18:13

I'm afraid he'll stay as Jeffrey for me 001.

00100001 · 21/08/2015 18:12

FYI Chalk Faced Clown has a name. Twisty :)

Garrick · 21/08/2015 18:10

Grin Zing! I empathise: cold knees feel so knobbly!!

Lweji · 21/08/2015 18:02

bittapitta
You correctly construed.

I just hope I don't become a target by identifying him making such insulting inference for both, or one

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 21/08/2015 18:00

but if we mass check profiles who can say that won't be hacked or phised or doxed or whatever

if MN goes down again I won't even try to get back on for a day or so. I'd imagine it wouldn't be hard to phish brand new passwords people choose for the next time.

fucking chalk faced clownAngry
