None of what I said is a rule or anything. I was only making suggestions (I said “you can”). The comment got a few upvotes, though, so I’m not alone in thinking it’s a good way of going about things.
To be honest, I hadn’t considered the possibility of posting the screenshot as an alternative thumbnail.
