Posting Charts Is A Piece Of Cake
With the new "Image" tab to the left of the posting box, anything can be made to post super easy. To post charts using standard templates, I still do it in under 10 seconds.
This is how I do it. I leave the following in an OPEN email message I sent to myself called "chart templates", with one minor edit I had to make for it to "show" here

Ok, in my email message, the "chat" words all say "chart".
This way I don't have to type out the word and the brackets every time. They say "chat" above so they don't show as charts....
ALL I do is copy 'n paste the chart I want, and then toss in the stock symbol where the *** is,and that can be in lower case if you want.
If I couldn't make it this easy I wouldn't do it! Or would post a chart far more rarely.
These aren't the super-bestest charts, I'm not always psyched about them, but they allow me to post a quick snapshot of the stock and that's the point. The reader/viewer can take it from there if there's any appeal. Ico was a huge help in developing this method. She uses a very similar style to post all the charts she posts. Other people might have better methods for all I know. But this works for me.
So if you dunno how or don't like posting charts, it's easier than you think. Practice.
Once you develop a good technique to post them you'll find it pretty easy.
I do it in under 10 seconds.
"Thanks, and have a great day"
