Using OpenWebif to take a screenshot

Uploading attachments

You can attach screenshots and other files to your post. Some files must be zipped first. Large log files,xml files etc

Click on "upload a file" near bottom of the screen



In the next window that is shown, go to where your screenshot or file you want to attach is located and then select it, then click "open".
(If a file type is not allowed, zip/rar it.)



All attachments will be placed together at the bottom of the post.

If you want an image in the middle of a post click on where you want it and choose Thumbnail or full image



Once done choose save reply.


I hope this helps users posting screenshots and uploading attachments

You can also drag and drop an image from your pc into a post 👍

Or using an image editor like ms paint, cut and paste.
As an aside, the 'upload a file' button is only there for forum supporters
