The complexity of many threads here can be better managed with the help of Dropbox, if you are a user. The most recent Dropbox no longer uses a Public folder, any Folder in your Dropbox can be shared by generating a link.
How-to
1. In your Dropbox, create a new Folder, make the name meaningful to you. For example: Forum_Issue_1
2. Copy into folder Forum_Issue_1 files that might have useful information about your question.
Information about your environment (software, cnc machine, etc), a copy of your tinyG parameters ($$ dump), perhaps a GCode file that won’t run correctly for you, perhaps screenshots from tools you are using, perhaps a picture of a run-gone bad, etc.
3. In your forum post, add a link to the Dropbox/Forum_Issue_1 folder.
Here is a link to a template folder showing information I have hanging around
As the thread discussion progresses, you can add or subtract files from your Forum_Issue_1 folder.
Depending on your browser, files with known extensions such as txt, doc, jpg, etc. will open in online viewer, all files can easily be downloaded.
Comments:
My Linux Dropbox interface does not allow me to generate the Links from my Desktop at the moment (a KDE Dolphin issue I suspect).
To get the above link, I opened my Dropbox via web interface (Firefox) and grabbed the link there. You may have to experiment.
On Windows Explorer, I was able to create the link from the desktop.
Public acknowledgment to user Rhinofart, who used this technique recently and it significantly sped up the clarity and issue resolution process,
