I'm surprised this took them so long.

I hope Github's new round means they are going to be more responsive to customers. I like the company and the founders and team I know there, but it's been frustrating to have to wait for features like this for months and months.

Maybe someday we can attach images/docs to issues... I mean, why would you ever want to attach an image to a site rendering issue when you can try and describe it at length and still fail? Sigh.

This is the most important missing thing in github issues, but for what is worth, we solved it using dropbox links, it's reasonably straightforward (screenshot, save to dropbox folder, get link with right click)

You can automate that nicely with http://grabbox.devsoft.no/ (OS X, free)

that's useful, thanks!

Agreed. I've heard 'use dropbox' so many times here, and it's still shitty.

However, for the specific case of misrendered HTML skitch is def the best option, even if your software supports attachments. So few clicks, totally worth it.

I use cloudapp with skitch. Drag from skitch to cloudapp icon, and it fills in your paste buffer with the link.

You should check out BugHerd if this is a common use case you have: http://bugherd.com

For images you can use markdown to embed the image (i.e. `![This is the error](http://i.imgur.com/something)` )
