The Guardian or Orr I guess.

AF - if you have Windows 8 or 10, you can easily use the Windows Snipping tool which will do the job for you. (I'm afraid that I never used Win 7 so don't know about that.)

You are all lovely but I have tried all these things and it isn't working

howtorebuild · 21/08/2015 18:45

Can you go in via your phone and screenshot that way?

Devilishpyjamas · 21/08/2015 18:45

If he does it will be Adam Hills SWATed next.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 21/08/2015 18:46

I had the error message too.
it was because the email address I wanted to change to has been "blocked" by MN 2 years ago (my fault)

so I explained I wanted that email address as it is my current one (bern for ages) and so I need it please. it was sorted

then I tried to confirm "change email address" and it went through!

any of this helpful?

SouthWestmom · 21/08/2015 18:46

AF have you checked your folders? When I print screen it auto saves to photos or documents.

AF,

1 step at a time.

Press PrintScreen - just that. Nothing happens
Open Paint
Hold down Control and press V while in Paint

AnyFucker · 21/08/2015 18:47

Snipping tool ?

What fresh hell is this ?

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 21/08/2015 18:47

listen to me!
read my last post

and if nothing works contact MNHQ

twirlypoo · 21/08/2015 18:48

Ok Anyfucker

On my machine I press the print screen button. It looks like nothing has happened, I goto a word doc and I press paste and it will appear there.

Hope it works for you?

Simurgh · 21/08/2015 18:48

What Windows do you have, AF?

Rudawakening · 21/08/2015 18:48

Af you will have an email at the new address that you need to click the link on to confirm the change of email.

Have you had this?

AnyFucker · 21/08/2015 18:48

I contacted HQ. I have an email from them asking to print screen the message. They are no more going to be able to help me than you lot are.

AnyFucker · 21/08/2015 18:49

Zing, get your arse down here.

GloGirl · 21/08/2015 18:49

Any fucker - can you search "Hoe to screenshot" in You Tube?

My Windows machine has a snipping tool which is brilliant.

Open your start menu, type Snipping and it should open up.

It gives you the option to drag the box over what you want to show - this will open up into a picture and then you click on the save icon (floppy disk)

Simurgh · 21/08/2015 18:49

What Windows do you have?

unlucky83 · 21/08/2015 18:49

AF if you are on windows search for the 'snipping tool' - is in Windows 7 too
Open it and it pops up on the screen - you can then select the area you need with a mouse (You might need to press 'new') then press the save icon and you can save an image of the area you selected...

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 21/08/2015 18:49

Forget the snipping tool. Follow the steps Blistory has posted.

Blistory · 21/08/2015 18:49

If all else fails, go old tech and take a photo of your screen.

AnyFucker · 21/08/2015 18:49

Ruda, I am going to be rude to you in a minute. Grin

RebeccaMumsnet · 21/08/2015 18:50

@RepeatAdNauseum

MNHQ - Just incase you are hanging around on here, there is a post in site stuff about profile information that you probably want to read.

I've reported it to you, too.

i'll have a look shortly, thank you
