Considering that adding a screenshot to a post is still a challenge to quite a few users, what about suggesting this website as an additional option:?

You can drag images to the main page, and then perform only two steps to get a working link that you can copy into a post:



It looks clean and simple to me, but that could well be related to some privacy/adblocking addons I am using.
Maybe it's an ugly commercial mess without that? Or maybe there are other objections to that specific site?

Opinions?

It reminds me of a scaled-down ShareX. I tested with one image and pasted the thumbnail URL into a post here and it's simple and straight-forward.

My only negative comment is that is/when we start pushing this, new users won't read it. Or will use the wrong links.

Perhaps we can start off by adding it to the "master screenshot" thread that is linked to from the top of the page when creating a post or reply.
Never mind. I just did. https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=29488.msg189011#msg189011
