 In advance of a more complete (with pictures) tip list, I'm putting this out for quick reference. Constructive feedback welcomed, particularly if the way "things work" on your browser/device are different to what I show (Mac and Safari, iPhone and Safari).

• When logging in to ACMOC (usually to the forum), first check the checkbox just below the username/password (credential) fields, then enter your credentials and login. This will keep you logged in until either you clear your cache, or the server is restarted for periodic maintenance
• When logging in, agree if you browser/phone asks if you want to save the credentials. Next time you have to login, just hit the credential suggestion after clicking into the username field, and it will fill in your credentials (don't forget to check that checkbox first). If you ever have to change your password (and you should occasionally to keep the spammers guessing : ), your browser / phone will ask if you want to save the new password - click yes/agree
• When attaching pictures:
• Add files - click on the blue Add Files... button to browse for your picture. After selecting the picture you want to attach, wait for the blue stripey bar (indicates upload in progress) to appear AND the file name to appear along side the blue Insert button.
• Insert into Message - Then, place your cursor in the spot in your message you want the picture to appear, add a blank line before and after that spot so the picture stands out from the text a little more, then click the blue Insert button. The button will change to a green In Message button. You will see a placeholder added to your message indicating to the system where to display the picture. The placeholder starts with [attachment=.....] and ends with [/attachment]. The picture will not show if this step is missed. Repeat adding any other pictures you want, spacing them with blank lines, and inserting them. You can upload a bunch of pictures then click the Insert All button to do this in one step. Check that the placeholders are added to your message text.
• Finally, click the final Submit button at the bottom. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's a work in progress Jim. I'm figuring out how best to display things so that it's easy to read on the phone and in the browser. What's currently up there doesn't cut the mustard - those are pdfs but we need something that auto-scales so we can see the whole picture in one shot.

Swapped out the pdfs for jpgs which show entirely, rather than scrolling. Looks like they need borders around them so they're easier to follow
