Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Displaying an image (screen capture) in your post

For those who may not have read the "Planners Moan Forum" discussion, it is possible to attach an image (like a screen capture), to your posts by uploading your image to a free image server/host like imageshack or ephotohut and linking to the image with a little bit of HTML like so:

Free Image Hosting at www.ephotohut.net

<*a href="http://www.ephotohut.net/viewpic.cfm?pic=300305110406.jpg" target="_blank"*><*img src="http://www.ephotohut.net/tb/300305110406.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ephotohut.net" /*><*/a*>

If you remove the * characters from the quoted text, you would have the code that displays the image above (which contains 9 faces, can you find them all? Click on the image to see the larger, full size picture). ephotohut conveniently provides you with the necessary HTML code after you upload an image from your hard drive. You can just copy and paste the code here.

Many forum scripts, like the one we are using at the PMKB, allow members to upload images as attachments to posts.

Visualize your questions or explanations in the form of graphics, sketches, or drawings are very nice and communicative. I agree with Subara if admin could provide an icon in posting page to upload an image.The attached images not need to be displayed in the Message page but it should be hyperlink.

Yes! It is very useful and meaningful. Hope PP Admin could display the icon on Planning Planet’s forum posting page, in order more PPers to utilise it to enhance the discussion thread.

Regards.

You can use the instructions to post screenshots of your schedules when you want to explain something.

Without displaying image, this Forum already looks like more appropriate so at the moment, no need to add on this facility .

Moreover Planner like to read more material on planning discussion than its look.
