A "screen cap" is short for "screen capture" - meaning you take a snapshot of what you see on the screen, save it as an image file, and upload it to this forum. This way, I can see what you see, instead of trying to guess what you see from a verbal description.
This process is made easier with a screen capture utility, such as SnagIt.
Failing that, if you're in Windows, you can just press your "Print Scrn" key on your keyboard. This will load a copy of what's on your entire computer screen into the clipboard. You can then go into an image editor such as Photoshop and paste the captured image, crop it to show me only the part that matters, and save as a JPEG.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
