Adding a new Plugin/Contribution, how can we add screenshots?

Hello there,

I am thinking of adding a new Zen Cart plugin in the appropriate section.

What bothers me though is:

(1) I don't see a way to upload at least a couple of screenshots, so the prospective user of the plugin can view it before downloading it.

(2) If I were to add a simple URL to an external place for people to view such screenshots - that seems to go against the rules of this site.

You know how a picture is worth a thousand words. Many (if not most) Users will not even bother to download the plugin if it's not entirely clear what it's for - in words and pictures. (Isn't that right?)
Some of my plugins can be very hard to describe. A simple screenshot would make the plugin's purpose clear as day.

Please comment. I would be glad to get the Admins opinion too.

Thank you,
Angelo Grebenarov

First of all Welcome.

If you want to add a plugin, it is IMHO also recommended to create a support thread. The thread can be used to place the pictures. A link to the thread can be placed in the support thread field when submitting your plugin.
