...lack thereof, really. It's not a terribly common occurrence, but it happens annoyingly often, and frequently results in responders wasting their time attempting to diagnose and offer solutions to problems that are either non-existent, or real, but erroneously stated.
Specifically, the problem is posters attempting to describe
what they see on their screens, rather than posting screenshots of
what's actually there, and thereby diverting troubleshooting efforts in useless directions.
In view of that, I suggest that a "sticky" post be placed at the top of each forum's thread list requesting that posters include screenshots of ANYTHING that could contribute to responders getting a clearer idea of what they're attempting to describe.
And in conjunction with that, I further suggest that Image Tags be activated to facilitate viewing of said screenshots.
Or, in lieu of activating Image Tags, I suggest including instructions for posting images on Imgur in the thread. These are my instructions:
To post a screenshot or other type of image...
- Go to https://imgur.com/upload.
- Either drag your image into the window, choose (browse for) it, or paste your image or its URL.
- Click on Grab Link > Copy Link in the next screen to copy your image's URL to your clipboard.
- Create a link using FTM's "Insert Link" tags...5th icon from the right.
