Scribble pad along with normal posting

I'm still not convinced there is a good solution yet.

Drawing diagrams and labeling parts of them with symbols and expressions is a good thing to be able to provide. So far, this is an extra effort for those with a scanner and an account on image hosting site, but not a bad effort for accomplishing that much imagery help. (or upload image to Physicforums? ). One can use graphical tablet, imaging program, and not need to use a scanner. A picture could be saved that way and uploaded (either physicsforums or image host service). The capability is already available for those who have internet and either a scanner or graphical tablet. A system included onto physicsforums which would allow interactively handwriting and drawing something directly onto physicsforums would be a great feature.

Here's a fancier whiteboard that might be embeddable:

Looks like it's feature rich with an API. Only thing to test is if it all works with the free account. I'll look at it more in detail later today. Good find.

Test out the white board now available in the sidebar during thread create. Draw what you need and then save to disk and then upload as an attachment. btw, the test API allows for only 2 sessions at once. If this proves useful I'll consider upping it.

I've taken down the sidebar link and added a button on both reply and new thread.

Is it applicable for only Google chrome browser?
In Safari only a blank white screen is coming.

I was checking in google chrome browser this option but all was coming but not that save button.
How in your attached file save snapshot is coming?

Appears to work in IE11 and Chrome but not FireFox. I'll contact their dev support.

I'm not able to save my work in that whiteboard for Google chrome.
The save button is not coming.

hmmm works for me. Asks me to download the image and I can.

One may have other opinions.
But I think it is not useful.
I earlier thought that we can directly have an option of doing this in reply box instead of uploading it by saving.
For example, we can do this all in ms paint by sketching.Take a screenshot and then upload it as a file.

Ah, this won't be possible.

This is still a cleaner and quicker option.

Support is saying they can load it in FF and Safari. We might be hitting the 2 session limit.

Why won't it be possible? Just too much room for messiness?

I can't develop it and I don't see any third party solutions that could work
