Upload it somewhere (not here), then HTML or Markdown.

thanks...

But it's not so evident....
Why not an upload system?
and why only https (i need to change the http to it https to have the screenshot) ?

It's to prevent mixed content [fr], indicates by the exclamation icon in URL bar.

Hoo yes, thanks .

But it's possible to have something more helpful to post our screenshots ?
And show them in the scripts list shall be great, no?

I'm sure our new site will have an upload screenshots feature, just like the old one.

Not sure if/how I'm going to do screenshots. User scripts are generally much less visual than user styles.

Screenshots give directly an idea of the results of the script , which sometime is hard to understand/view.

I appreciate them to make my advise.
And they can give another idea.

In brief, they are a great value for me.
;-)

If you decide to incorporate them, you can be inspired by the Preview box in use for Firefox addon...

Screenshots are important to me as a user.

Many times I cannot determine exactly what the script is supposed to do based on the description.

Many authors do not describe in detail what the script is supposed to do, or it is in another language and "Google Translate" results in gibberish.

Also, after installing a script, I can check with the screenshot to see if it matches what I see.

Those with javascript knowledge can look through the code and determine what the script will do... us newbies/NObies cannot do that.

img tags are broken for me. Looking at the resulting HTML, they show up as blank img tags with no src="..." in them. I've got no problem posting the same images in this forum (see below). This is really the only thing that's keeping me from migrating onto this site, since I need visuals to explain my script.

@lednerg Image source on script page must be hosted on secure server (use https)
e.g. <img src="https://imgur.com/PuU6l51.gif"/>

nope, it musn't :) if you use markdown - there is no check for "https" there
