Where did my screenshots go?

Question

I was playing a Steam game yesterday and remember taking a Steam screenshot with the F12 key. I distinctly remember the "shutter" sound and the Steam popup which appeared with the small version of the image. But checking the screenshots section of my Steam profile today, I can only see old screenshots for that game, and nothing from yesterday.

Where did my screenshots go? Did I lose them completely?

Some notes:

1. I've looked under the "all" tab of the screenshots section, to make sure I'm not missing anything.
2. I've clicked the "Update" button, it didn't change anything.
3. This game certainly supports this feature - I took screenshots this way in the past.
4. I've checked the regular screenshot folder for the game - the one where the screenshots go to if you just click PrtScn - but it didn't contain any recent screenshots.
5. Steam Client details: Built Sep 8 2011, at 13:50:04, API version v012, Steam package version 1675.
6. System is Windows 7 64-bit.
7. Game in question, if it makes any difference, is Civilization V.

Answer 1

You haven't uploaded the screenshot yet, so it won't be on your profile. Right click Steam's tray icon in the lower right corner of your screen and click on "Screenshots".

You can then pick the game to show at the top, and that will show all the screenshots you've ever made in that game, uploaded or not.

Answer 2

1. Go to the game where you took your screenshot.

2. Press Shift key and the Tab key to go to the Steam menu.

3. Go to the screenshot manager and click "SHOW ON DISK".

4. Voilà! You have your screenshots where you want them!

Answer 3

I found mine in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\oblivion

For posting to Steam, you should use F12 rather than Print Screen to take them.
