I posted this in another area but got no responce. Hopefully I will do better here!

"This may be really dumb but how do you post solves? I understand the concept I just don't know what to copy and paste. I understand the spoiler button but not what to put in it to show a solve? When I solve a level and it comes up with stack successful box the share it option posts a link to the level not the solve. What am I missing?"

There's nothing programmed into the game that allows you to post a solve. People who post solves do it on their own, using screenshots.

In order to take a screenshot, on a PC:
1) press the "Prt Scr" button
2) Go into an image program like Paint
3) Go to Edit->Paste (or ctrl+v) and save it. Might be a good idea to use the selection tool to isolate one part of the image, cut it out and paste it into its own file. That's what most people do.
4) Navigate to a place like Photobucket, tinypic, or imageshack and upload your image, then paste the URL here.

On a Mac, I believe you press Cmd+Shift+4 and select the area of the screen you want to capture. Then just skip to the last instruction.
