Microsoft MVP Windows Expert - ConsumerB Add a screenshot to a new post or reply on the HP Support Forum (recommended solution)
Note:
This solution is recommended.
When you will start new post or want to reply in any topic you will see situation just like on below picture. To add screenshot to message which you started to create this way click ' Insert / edit image ' icon 
After this action new window will show up. Choose ' Browse ' and go to path where you have saved screenshot which you want to paste. Double click it with right button of your mouse.
When you will do this under ' Image Title ' will be showed original name of this file.
If you want you may change:
- Image Title on other name,
- ' Image Size ' and ' Image Alignment ' by using the dropdown selector.
When everything will be set click ' Insert Image '.
Picture is now added to message which you are creating.
To post it on board select ' Post ' button.
Congratulations! Screenshot is now added to your reply.
If you will see picture of a triangle (like below) instead of screenshot which you tried to add then this will mean then it needs approval from the moderator.
