What did you see?

Only you can answer that.

General way to post charts:

There are many ways, some depending on your version of MS Windows, but the following way is independent of MS software version.

First, capture your entire screen image. To capture the screen, simultaneously press the Shift key and the Print Scrn key. Now that image is in a buffer.

Then start MS Paint.

Within MS Paint, simultaneously press the Ctrl key and the letter V key on your keyboard. That will paste the entire screen image in Paint.

Then go to the upper left corner of Paint and select the Crop symbol. After doing that, use the mouse cursor to draw a box around the part of the image you want to save to your disk (and later paste at iHub). Once you've made that section, select Crop again. Everything except for the image you selected will be deleted.

Save that image.

Now you will want to put that image in an iHub message (I hope). To do that you will need a link to that image you just saved. To get that link, hover your mouse over the Tools menu located at iHub.

When you do that, you will see three more choices. Now hover your mouse over More Tools >, and you will see many more choices. From that list, select My Image Gallery. That action will bring up another screen.

On that screen you will see a title called Image Upload. Below that title will be two buttons: Choose File and Upload. First, select Choose File. That will allow you to browse your computer and select the file you saved above. When you find that file, double-click its name. That will cause an abbreviated version of that name to appear on your screen. It's magic!

Now press the Upload button. After the upload is complete, you will see a small version of that image on the left side of your screen, and you will see two links inside boxes partially below and to the right of the image.

Select the link in the box titled Embed. As you select it, its entire background will be darkened. Simultaneously press your Ctrl key and the letter C key on your keyboard. That will copy the link.

Now that you have a copy of that link in buffer, place it in your message using Ctrl/V as I explained above.

Your link should look similar to the one below if you didn't screw up somewhere along the way (except the parenthesis will be replaced with brackets) and both DATE and COMPRESSED_IMAGE will be unique to your date and image if you did everything correctly.

Now ... for the best lesson ever: Go to the very bottom of your iHub page. You will see four columns of links, and they will each have a title in Bold text. Below the heading of Help is FAQ. Click on FAQ and read everything there.
