I've started this thread so I can work out exactly the best way to post hand histories to the forum.
There was a thread I have just unstickied from 2010 that had some useful information in it (How to post your hands in the Poker Clinic) but it was also full of lots of very mangled attempts to post hand histories. When I opened it the thread was totally broken with a pop-up that appears slap bang in the middle of the screen! I removed that rogue post so the thread is now viewable.
Anyway, over the next couple of days I'll attempt to work out how to post hand histories from the Download Client, Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer. If anyone has any requests let me know.
Expect to see lots of mangled posts as I try things out but when I've cracked it I'll start a new thread with all the necessary information in one place with step by step instructions and screenshots.

Firefox and Internet Explorer are very easy to post from.
The Sky Poker Download App and Chrome are easy to post from but to make it look clean it needs to include buttons, an up-down scrollbar on the right and also chops off the balance column.
You can get the Chrome hand history to show without scrollbars with some effort.
I always seemed to be able to post in the Poker Clinic OK but as soon as I posted a hand history for example in my diary, it wouldn't seem to work. But just tried it now with this method (Chrome) and it worked fine
For those who aren't aware I'm actually a forum moderator although I don't frequent these parts too often these days. So once I figure out all the best ways to post hand histories I'll start a new thread and the opening posts will contain all the relevant details to post hand histories neatly.
When I start that thread I'll sticky it.
If anyone has figured out how to post neatly from Chrome let me know.
as per FF post except don't do the Ctrl + Shift + Delete yet instead just Add Post
then go back and edit post In the top row of the HH click the e in the word Balance The move the mouse slowly right and the mouse pointer will turn into a up-down-left-right arrow! When this happens left click and you should see a little square appear at the top right of the table Click this and move the mouse left and the table will get smaller drag the table smaller so it ends between the Full Screen and Preview icons. Now go to the end of this resized table and you will see the first table you posted with the scroll bars Click a blank line between the table above and the table below Now press Ctrl + Shift + End Now press Delete

This is a test. I have had same problem as Ivan, worked on some threads not others
History #867226221 (13:49 28/01/2015)
When I start that thread I'll sticky it.
If anyone has figured out how to post neatly from Chrome let me know.
In app copy from end of Next button up to before Hand History
enter a few blank lines in a forum post and paste in the HH on the last line
This creates the HH in a scrollable window so now inside the forum posting window scroll down to the bottom of the posted hand.
Copy from the last number in the bottom right corner up to the heading line.
As you click and drag up to copy you will see the cells of the hand history being selected like a spreadsheet.
Ctrl + c
Now go to the end of the line you pasted in earlier that begins Hand History and press enter to make a blank line
Ctrl + v
Now press Ctrl + Shift + End
now press Delete
