    Key thought it best to start a thread for all to see in the future how to post a chart . It is easy but can be frustrating .

    At the bottom of each post there is a tag " UPLOAD A FILE " click on it .
    A box or another page will open where it links to your computer . [Sometimes the upload box is hidden under open web pages or platforms .  I save my files to desktop so on the bottom of box under "file name" type in the name of the chart etc and u will note all charts with that name come up so click on the one u want to post .  Then click "Open" the dialogue box disapears and the chart is loaded onto the hc page . Then on the bottom left of the hc page u will see a small but foggy pic of the image , to the right of that click on "thumbnail "or "FULL IMAGE" . When u press full image button u will note the chart is now in your post .
    Then click "Post message"  on the lower right hand side of hc page and it is done .

    The dialogue box which opens when u initially click "upload a file" can dissapear behind other web pages or behind platforms .
    I find it easy or easier to always take a snap shot of the pic I want to show and lodge it on my desk top using the program paint .

    So to take a snap shot of my  work , I left click on a picture or chart then while holding down the ALT button [left hand lower on keyboard ] on my keyboard I click on PRT Sc sYS rQ button which is generally beside the f12 button . Make sure u hold down ALT while clicking on PRT  I then open paint program and click paste and the chart appears in paint . I then modify or delete names etc . Then click save as jpeg ,png etc with a name and once again I save to desk top as easy to find . But u can use any storage area on your pewter .

    HC only allows certain images that u have saved to use in the hc posts like jpeg or png etc. this image took me 60 sec's to save into paint, modify and lodge on hc
