Welcome to the game and to the forums!

If you press the Print Screen key the screen shot will automatically be taken and saved to Program Files--->City of Heroes--->Screen Shots.

Hope that helps.

Edit: I believe you can also type /screenshot in the chat bar.

Press the Prt Scr button. It will save a jpg of the current screen (without the game interface) to a directory in your CoH directory.

You can go to Menu->Options->Keymapping tab and scroll all the way down to other to select a key under "toggle screenshot ui" to toggle whether the screenshot includes the UI or not.

edit: For more info, check the ParagonWiki page. You will also want to bookmark that site.

Just hit the print screen (PrtScn) button on your keyboard; it saves to a "screenshots" folder in your COH directory.

By default a screenshot does NOT include the User Interface, I know there's a command to include it but it escapes me at the moment.

Oh, and let me welcome you to the game! They must be doing something right to keep so many of us playing for 4, 5, 6 or even 7 years.

<edit> I type too slow

Just want to stress this. ParagonWiki is a fantastic resource with answers to pretty much any question you can imagine. Also, as you have already seen, the folks on these here forums are generally eager to help.

Little warning:

If you try to take a screenshot in the Tailor or Character Select screen, it won't work - you'll need (Vista/7) the Snipping tool, (xp) or to paste it into Paint (I think) or a third party program to get the screenshot.

Also, yes, with the UI, /screenshotui 1. To turn it off after, /screenshotui 0.
