How do you add an image to your discussion on here? Had a look at the markdown cheat sheet but don't get it

Can someone break it down for me please

You would need the image to be somewhere live not on your PC. then you would use the exclamation mark with square brackets "[]" and enter a name inside. then use the normal brackets "()" to point to the file like so

When trying to post screenshots (or other images) to forum the most common issue, is trying to link to an image on your local computer. That won't work, you need to upload the image to the Internet.

One of the easiest ways to do that is to use an image hosting service like imgur.com.

Now you just need to link to the image in the forum using markdown ![alt text](http://example.com/path/to/img.jpg "Title")
