There are definately some interesting takes on what i posted a picture of, Just today i happened to see a similar glitch again. I had a villager watering the crops (meaning the blockage was already cleared) and for whatever reason one of my ladies decided to pick up another boulder and go drop it off. Must have rolled down the stream.

As for screenshots. Here is the tech savvy way to do it.

1. Hit Alt + Printscreen (this takes a pic of the active window instead of your whole desktop)
2. Paste the picture into a Paintshop/Photoshop type program.
3. Crop and resize as desired and save to your hard drive somewhere as a jpg or gif. (smallest file size because jpg's and gifs are compressed image formats)
4. Go to http://www.imageshack.us (free hosting of images for i dont know how long they last)
5. Browse for your picture and choose it then click host.
6. The last line of code you get from imageshack will be the direct link address. That is what you put in your message between the [IMAGE] or [IMG] tags.

Any questions feel free to ask me.

Thanks Monk,

Next time I'm trying to explain a quirk I'll try that!

You're making a very big assumption there, VM, by assuming everyone's running the game under some flavour of Windows. Whilst I am (though most of me wishes I wasn't) the game wasn't available for my preferred platform at the time (i.e. the Mac). I'm running a G5 and a PC via a KVM box (so using the same keyboard/rodent for both) and I cannot take screenshots because I'm using an Apple board (very nice things they are too). I could download and install Irfanview but, frankly, I can't be bothered...;o) The only native way to take shots on a Mac is Grab and I've never had any luck with taking shots from programs running full-screen.

Just a little FYI not to go jumping to conclusions that everyone's running Windoze.

Cheers

Claire

I don't know on the MAC but on the windows version under options you can turn off FULL screen Mode...
