This is the only forum where I cannot post a text file or an image.
All the other forums have an attach option adjacent or near to the SUBMIT button.

The text file I can paste into a code box with no problem.

The image had me stumped and I had no success searching how to present an image,
and the FAQ had nothing relevant.

Then I saw the Img button at the TOP of the reply and made a lucky guess.
Then I had to search for a site to host my image for you.

I suggest it would be a kindness to novices with less experience than I for this site to tell them how to do it. Preferably as a "sticky" topic that stays at the top above the "current" topics, and/or as a FAQ and/or an item in Dos Script Snippets.

I suggest the advice should recommend the "best" hosting sites,
which could be based on ease of reading any Captcha images etc,
and or the length of time for which the image will remain available before it gets flushed.
It would be even more helpful if you included a link to the site that gives DosTips the best commission per click - everyone wins ! !

Perhaps also advice upon how to select the content of a DOS window and copy into the paste buffer ready for pasting into a reply message on the forum

When a novice has a problem and he cannot adequately express it,
a helper should be able to instantly paste a link to the above advice so the novice knows how to help us to help him.

Regards
Alan

Well, it should be basic internet / forum use knowledge...

I recommend http://www.imageftw.com and http://www.sendspace.com.
