Mainly aiming this question at the staff but ...

anyway , i remember reading :unsure: that its not allowed to post a screenshot of your admin panel , i can see why because of (possible) security issues with the session id being displayed.

i was wondering , is this a definate no no because sometimes it could be useful when wanting to help someone with a problem to post a small (as in just a section and certainly no url at all) screenshot of part of the admin panel ?

i help with other forum software elsewhere sometimes and they have similar policies too (sort of) but i would like to help here more ( when i get free time , which isnt too often at the moment :( ) so are small sectioned screenshots ok to point things out or not ?

just a question anyway , thanks for reading. :)

Sectional shots are definitely okay. We're just afraid that new users will just PrntScrn their whole screen ^_^

Just if you do post screenshots from Admin CP, make sure you black out any IP addresses. A Global Mod on a forum I used to administrate accidentally posted a screenshot with someone's IP stuck in the corner once. Fortunately, someone PM'ed me about it fairly quicky and I was able to black it out myself.
