You mean to post screenshots here, for example?Originally Posted by Red Lily

I can take screenshots but I have to copy them to paint, trim them down, save them and repost and that's just too much of a hassle.
I just want to take a pictured tweet and transfer it.

I use the snip and sketch, that way there's no trimming. But still have to save it and upload it here.

I just do partial screencaps and post the images. Don't know of another way.
To be conservative, then, is to prefer the familiar to the unknown, to prefer the tried to the untried, fact to mystery, the actual to the possible, the limited to the unbounded, the near to the distant, the sufficient to the superabundant, the convenient to the perfect, present laughter to utopian bliss. ― Michael Joseph Oakeshott, Rationalism in Politics and Other Essays

Screencap = screenshot? I can do that but I just want to copy and paste the tweet without bothering with screenshots.

Yes, screenshot.
You should be able to copy just the text.

Yep, using the "Snip and Sketch" tool on my PC. Save as a jpg and insert in thread here.

If you paste as plain text, you won't pick up all that formatting code.
