Hm... You're right, list does not do anything. First time I've used it myself, though.

As you can see, code works fine, however. If you want to share, say, a script, you would paste it in your message, then your block it in the message and then you press the "Code" button. And it appears like above. It's handy to separate the computer language you want to share from the comments, explanations, etc. in your message

first make one on your computer. (Obvious!)
make it a bit smaller in your paint program, perhaps 800x600 resolution, and save a jpg (makes much smaller files than png). What we want to do here is give an impression of our desktop to the community; they wouldn't be able use the image of our Puppy screen as their own backdrop anyway.

I'm not an image person, so I can't help you much with picture storing sites, but I'm sure there are lots on the Internet if you search a bit. For large programs and such I use limelnx (http://limelinx.com/), which is excellent also for media and music files. Try the widely known flicker photo sharing site (http://www.flickr.com/) perhaps?

  Out of consideration for those with small displays, the forum will not display attached images wider than 600 pixels. However it will display linked [img] images of any size.

yes that was obvious and why i created this forum thread. because i did not know how to use some of them
