Screen Capture (Screenshot) Not Working

I know it works post update, cause that is the only time I have used the Home + Power button method together. Was after I updated it to ICS.

So I don't know how documenting changes would help in this case if it was the same button combination before as it is now. Cause I know it works now.

You, and others are thankfully right. The swipe still works, I must have been too quick today when it didn't seem to be working. But I used to be able to squeeze volume and power buttons and get a screen capture. I tried the home and power button tonight and eventually got it to work. Thanks to all.
 
I came to this page because I thought mine had stopped working too, but I just figured it out.

It is still power + home, but there is a notable difference. Before, I had to be careful to press both buttons for just a second, otherwise the power menu would come up. Now, hoever, you need to press AND HOLD both buttons for a second or two. I kept letting go too soon like I was used to before ICS. Now it works again like a charm. Hope that helps someone else who is struggling with it.

But I have to ask, what's this karate chop business? Do I need to turn that on first?

That is the magic trick! Home plus power button works perfectly for me now.

Does anyone know if there's a way to turn off the shutter sound on screen capture?

Thanks. It was not working for me because I didn't push the buttons simultaneously.
I need the buttons pressing because the hand swipe doesn't work when I want to capture the pop-menu in an application.
