How to post screenshots in the NEW forums!

To gather a screen shots users can use the Snipping tool provided by Microsoft.

MAC users can capture screenshots using the following method: Take a screenshot on your Mac - Apple Support.

Once you have your screenshots available, open the “reply” button in the thread you want to insert the screenshot(s). A popup will appear to allow you to “select” the file you wish to insert. Select a file, its context will appear in message area.

Finish the text you wish to add as comments on your screenshot. Then press the “Create Topic” radio button at the bottom of the reply/create topic dialog. Your screenshot and text should then appear

It doesn’t work for me.

Error message is:

An error occurred: Sorry, you can’t embed media elements in a post.

The format for an image also looks very strange
I had to insert 3 "X"s to make the format visible

However, I can see the embedded image on the right preview page

There is already a post about this

fwiw ~ I do not use the right preview window

What should the format look like if you copy the screenshot into the post?
Can you take a screenshot of it?
It probably has to be able to be opened with Microsoft Edge, which doesn’t work with my format.

You can actually just drag and drop screenshots as well. One thing of note, users may not have the correct permissions yet to do screenshots as the forums are evolving.

It may of course be the case that a newbie is not yet allowed to perform this action :woozy_face:

FORMAT-TEST

BINGO !!!
The format must be one that can be opened with Microsoft Edge :sunglasses:
