That’s a great idea.
I made screenshots on the PC, and then cropped them using Paint.net, it is good and free.

Thanks for all your hard work - you’ve done a terrific job. Best wishes.
Here’s my first go at uploading the list, I’ve had a few technical problems with scaling the screenshot, so fingers crossed. I was hoping just to take one picture of the whole list, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to display in a readable way… I am concerned that this is still a bit small. Also, it’s only (for me) displaying part of each screenshot, but if you click it you’ll see all of the “missing” people.

If anyone can show me how to make it display all of each image, I’ll go in and edit it, sorry! The strange thing is I see the whole image in the “preview post” screen, but not in the final thing.
1 picture of the whole list … I think you need special software for that
I managed to take the picture, after downloading a browser extension and changing browsers, but it’s too big to upload! The forum has limits on both the size of the file, and the size of the image, that it will show.
Thanks for the leaderboard! It does not look small at all.
Yes, part of each graphic file is hidden, it may be the way this forum engine handles them… when I tried to upload bigger pictures, they were diminished to an unreadable size, maybe in your case it is cropping. I ended up breaking the list in small parts (12-15 names each) so I could be sure they would be seen.
BTW what software do you use to crop the screenshots?
Thanks @gardariki! I cropped them just using the standard mac preview, which has a screenshot function. I think next time I’ll just take more screenshots direct from the webpage, rather than first making a huge picture of the whole list and then breaking it up. I managed it with only 8 images this time, but spent a lot of time compressing the image etc first.
yes, the less processing you have to make, the easier it is. If your screenshot preview has a ‘fixed-sized selection’ function, it can make the process still faster, not to make selection manually each time.
there are pieces missing
click on the image and you’ll see the whole picture, you can scroll through them.

Use Imgur or similar? And .jpg or best perhaps .gif files will be smaller.
the issue is the size of the image when it’s the whole thing, I can upload it now, but only a small preview shows (see below). Next time I’ll chop it into smaller bits, so all of each bit shows (gardariki was chopping it into about 12 people at a time), but I’ve spent ages on this today! Next weekend…

btw, when I click on this preview, I can see the whole thing properly and I am offered to download it. So this way is possible too, maybe no need to chop it into small pieces?

ooh, I hadn’t noticed that! well, I’ll see what other people say.
I’d just save it as a gif, upload it, then link to the image like you’ve done or like so: https://global.discourse-cdn.com/standard10/uploads/memrise/original/2X/9/99c81982d216029bb3e8b7d6ecd34d1ee9ee6b3d.jpg
Thanks a lot. It is also readable in this form.
Thank you for doing this. When I click on the picture I see an image that is complete, but too tiny to be readable. But then (it took me a while to figure this out), I can click on that image and open it in a new tab. And then I can use command + to enlarge the photo. I can see and read all the names in one image that I can scroll up and down. It’s great.
But mostly I’ll just be spot checking to see if there is anyone I need to add or delete from my watch list. If I have the same few names at 180, then my list matches.
