Is there a way to hyperlink each of these to a photo of exactly what we should be looking for? A lot of work, but probably helpful to see what it should look like and possibly photos of issues others have had

it's better for people to look and if they think it's fine after reading the issue and looking and still don't see it then they'll be happy and that's all that matters.
