It has often been my observation on the CH forums that users are requested or of their own initiative include in their post data pertenant to the difficulty they wish to resolve within their post. It is obvious to me that this can be of great assistance. It will eliminate the possibility of copying errors, failure to include all relevant info,probably minimize a lot of unnecessary verbage,and certainly give a clear description. Now the question how does one do that? As an example you run an "everest" scan on your computer in order to respond to question by someone trying to help with a problem. The data requested is shown on your screen. How do you get it into a CH forum reply? truenorthRight CLICK any subject in Everest and select Quick Report --> Plain TEXT.
The you can just copy/paste the text into a reply here.Deerpark, Thank you for the info. Certainly will help when using "everest" but that was just an example and not intended to be exclusionary of other sources of data. I was hoping for a solution that would be applicable regardless of the data displayed. For instance the displayed results of "device manager" ,the opening paused DOS page when a computer boots, etc,etc. truenorthYou may be talking about screen capture program.
Try free version of ScreenHunter: http://wisdom-soft.com/products/screenhunter.htmBroni, I have downloaded 2 programs that are supposed to be able to do what i want to do. 1. screenhunter free and 2. hypersnap. Both do an excellent job of capturing anything i want. HOWEVER neither by any manner i have tried (including reading the help files) will allow me to post it in a CH forum "reply. Specifically what i tried to do was copy your logo at the bottom of your messages and insert it in a reply to you. suggestions please. truenorth







In a CH reply click additional Options, select Browse and find the picture you want to attach to your reply.
Alternately, if you wish to add more pictures to a reply you can use an image hosting service like Imageshack.
Upload the picture to Imageshack and paste the link you receive into a reply here.I see Deerpark BEAT me to it. Anyway, here's my lengthy post:

There are two ways of doing this. One way is to "attach" the image to your post. When you compose a message, you see a hyperlink below the message composition panel; it's titled Additional Options.... Click on it to view those options. You'll see a box where you can enter the location of a file, and you see a Browse button which will let you browse to a file on your hard drive. Images/files attached this way are only viewable to members who are logged on to the forum.

The other way to insert images is to upload them to a image/photo hosting WEBSITE such as photobucket.com or imageshack.us and then post a link to the image from that hosting site. For example, I'll put an image here:

The code to display it is:
Code: [Select][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/farmpond/laptop.jpg[/IMG]Images posted this way are viewable by anyone browsing the forum, whether logged on or not.

[file cleanup - saving space - attachment deleted by admin]Deerpark, Soybean,Broni I have selected a pictureand have tried a "Preview " to see if it is there as indicated in the "Attach:" box. It is not presenting in the preview so i am going to send this as a way to see if it does become PART of my reply.So if it is not there it remains a work in progress. truenorth
