Due to constant problems of forum users here and there, I've decided to make a thread where everyone can read how to attach an image/screenshot/file to your post.

On the courtesy of @Metalloman‌ and @elminster‌:

To post files/images:

1) What you do first is you attach it.
Click on "attach a file" under the text box;
Browse the path to your image/screenshot/file;

2) Then you go over the file's icon - the thumbnail (the thing on your post that looks like a white page with a corner folded on it) with your mouse cursor and...

3) Click on "insert image/file": a precompiled tag will appear in the text box;

4) At that point you can actually delete the original uploaded image/screenshot/file (click on "delete") if you want to get rid of the thumbnail.

    Thanks @bengoshi‌, great thread. Actually i didn't have too much problem with attaching files. But it was several weeks, that i learned, how to bookmark, a thread, or quote a post, so i can understand those, who have problems with attach file :)

    imo forever play gifs should be in spoiler tags so people don't have to watch them if they don't want to

    @Luke93 Try hovering over the time of the comment - it should give you the link.

    That may depend on your browser - in Chrome you have to actually right-click and choose to copy the link address.
