My very minor 2 cents...

..I try very hard to get OPs to give clear “Pictures”, be it attachments and / or screenshots ( capable of being copied to a spreadsheet – so NOT images ). I do that here and in another Forum that does not have attachments and where the discussion thereof comes up very often...

..I agree with many of the sentiments here that a combination of attaching a file and a good “Picture” in the Thread is ideal, with an emphasis to giving at least some “Picture” in the Thread. To that end I have spent some time encouraging the “Tools” noted in my signature. And have helped many an OP use or change them for their use, and more recently the “Tool” developed by JBeaucaire:

. ( In fact I stumbled on an Italian site the other day using a Screenshot code I developed for an OP. They used it as one of their standard tools.. )
.
. When an OP in a Thread I answer does not give a good “Picture” in the Thread, but uploads a File, I try to post back in the Thread a screenshot for others to be able to r follow the Thread easier, ( as well as for my own later reference. )
. But the bottom line seems that it is difficult to encourage OPs to learn to “use the Tools”, or read the FAXs , posting suggestions etc, especially if they do not intend posting much and just want a quick solution.
. But RoryingStompers “Tools” referenced in my signature are worth a try for anyone not yet familiar with them..
