I would like to ask for help and the best way is to show screenshots.
Most postings have XML snippets and I'm not that strong in that area yet.
I see some users have screenshots and the odd one has video.
How do I include screenshots in my forum postings? There is nothing mentioned in the Forum Help Guide.

Hello.

There are many ways, but here's how I do it:

1. Upload the screenshot to an external host. I use GitHub.

2. Link to the image in your forum post, like this: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/30656341/48263106-9bc48480-e3ea-11e8-81f2-1252b847b273.png)

I think GIFs are the only video files you can display here. (You would follow the same steps as normal pictures.)

That screenie is messing with my head.
Now I know what Neo felt like when he saw that cat in the matrix.

Wake up, Cheese.

Do you think that's air you're breathing?
