I use Windows Snipping Tool. It, usually, takes two snips (top half, and bottom half) per diagram, to get a readable resolution.

I just screen shot and upload the image that way, but Chad's method seems to result in much better uploads ;)

With Windows Snipping Tool, you drag a box around the section of screen that you want to capture and save it as a .jpg or .png file. This is a "snip".

Doing a whole page of a schematic in one image/snip makes the text too small/blurry to read. So, I zoom in so that I am only seeing the top half of the schematic on my screen. I take a "Snip" of the top half of the schematic, and save it. Then, the same thing with the bottom half. When posting to the forum, stack the two "Snips" to post the full schematic.

Is this Snip function only in Explorer/Edge? I don't have that in Chrome I think, even though I'm on Win 10.

It is a feature of Windows.

To open Snipping Tool, select the Start button, type snipping tool, and then select it in the search results.

Well. I've managed to ignore the heck out of that little feature for a few years now apparently. For the most part I just right click stuff and paste it into notepad. I saw immediately where snipping would fill in the gaps when right clicking wouldn't quite give the desired results. Thanks for the info!
