The sketcher

I have tried to use the sketcher multiple times, and ever time I try to save It doesn't! It makes me soooo mad!
Recently I drew a good pic of Balto, and me, & my mom tried to save it and....nothing. Infact, when my mom tried to save it, it went to a screen that was soild white, exept for this scribble line that changed in size and made its way across the screen.
It was rather creepy-looking, too! The only way I could save my pic was printing it. Now I will have to take a pic of it then save it THEN post it! uuugggg!!!!!!

I've noticed that problem too. Happens to me, but I wonder if it's just my browser lol. Haven't tried another with it yet. Another way you can save it is by taking a screenshot. the prints screen (prnt scrn?) button for Windows PCs somewhere up at the top right if I remember right. I don't have a Windows PC anymore so I forget XD but after you push that button, with the screen on the sketcher page, just go into MS Paint and 'edit', 'paste' and the screenshot should appear. Then just crop it so it's just your image and save it, unless you wanted to edit more.

I can't help but think you are all doing it wrong. XD Just do what it tells you to do :

Quote:

Click on 'save', enter a title then choose to save as PNG, GIF or JPG, then click OK. Save the downloaded file somewhere on your hard drive. It is in a compressed format, use your favorite file extractor (like winzip, winrar, 7-zip...or the Windows XP automatic extractor) to extract the picture file somewhere else on your hard drive. You can now send that image file on the site.

I did that and it worked fine.
