Hi Bo,
If the informational content can be represented textually, then please
try to avoid screenshots in favor of copy-and-paste.
There are a few reasons for it. But one major reason why text is
preferable because search engines work effectively with text.
If I see a question that uses a certain unusual term, the first
instinct I have is to enter that term into a search engine. As a
concrete example, see:

As a point of confession: for the message above, I knew absolutely
nothing about what the questioner was asking about. But I do know how
to use a search engine fairly well. :P
This sort of archaeology becomes much harder if screenshots are the
norm. So try to avoid them, at least for technical forums where UI is
not the focus. Thanks!
