 * Hi,
    My site consits largely of iframes and flash apps. When I attempt to make
   a screenshot, my whole site gets messed up.
 * Are there limitations of what kind of content on the sites can be screenshot?
   Are there any work-arounds?
 * Thanks

 * Thanks for your report!
 * Unfortunately, there are indeed limitations of what kind of content can be captured.
 * The screenshot technique we use (and the only one that is available in any modern
   browser) copies the whole site and draws it onto a canvas element. There’s a 
   very helpful library allowing us to do all this, but it has its [limitations](http://html2canvas.hertzen.com/documentation.html#introduction):

 * These are mostly browser limitations, e.g. because of security reasons.
 * I’m not aware of any solid workarounds to this, at least not one we could use
   in the plugin.
