I'm attempting to include a screenshot in a post.

The image button doesn't seem to work for this purpose. I'm guessing that I need to attach a file for the screenshot.

Hah, it worked! You have to attach a file and click "Embed picture in post". However, the screenshot included a lot more than I wanted to show. Unfortunately "Preview" doesn't work for attached files. Now I got to figure out how to edit the image.

Great, figured it out! I copied the file into Microsoft Paint. Yeah, old school, haha. Anyway, download the screenshot into Paint. Then click "Select" to crop the image. Select "Rectangular Section" from the dropdown list (unless you want some weird shape). Select the area of the screenshot that you want to show. Then click "Crop". You can even write notes on the screenshot with "Tools". Save the file. Then download the edited file into your post. My modified screenshot is below.

Would be great if the forum provided instructions for posting.

If anyone has a better method of attaching and editing a screenshot, please let me know.
