Attachments
Below the Form is a tab “Attachments”. Click on the tab to add file(s).
Print Screen:
In the game you press F10 to make a Screen Shot. If possible, please save a copy of the Screen Shot as a jpg file and use that file as attachment. It saves a lot of space compared to the original bmp file.
(Other tools can also be used to make Screen Shots).
Replay:
If you would like to add a Replay, (optional), look up the file in the game and add it as attachment.
