That is an Inevitable outcome I guess, as some Prominent members say that attachments is one of the main reasons they post at Excel Forum.

I confess i have lost a bit of interest trying to encourage better explanations and / or screen shots ( not images ) in the post.
May be Some emphasis should be put on encouraging also using the screen shot Tools ( Not images ) in addition to using attachments.
But even on Forums that have many such Tools and no attachments it is still very difficult to get an OP to start using them. I have sometimes pasted back screen shots of parts of an attached Workbook. But that is a bit impractical for the regulars answering so many questions. That should be down to the OPs
But As you say Tony, it often seems a bit of a lost cause... as long as people want to answer such Threads.. ..or themselves answer with just a an attachment.
I find that personally a shame. I think it encourages laziness in the OP, which is disrespectful to the people giving their time voluntarily to help people. But just IMHO. If people are happy to answer such Threads I respect that. I cannot really criticise people answering with just an attachment – I guess who voluntarily helps has a right to answer as he / she chooses.... although.... there are of course rules on how you answer as well.........
Anyway, I have done my bit to encourage using Tools

P.s.
( On a lighter note!! In a mod contract it should state they agree to learn to use and use The screen shoot tools. On penalty of reduction in salary, say 50%. But as 50% of 0 is zero ( I think ), i guess there would not be much incentive there Lol)
