"Host on Imgur" (I believe 2.8 had this feature).. it will return a BBCode for forums..

No unfortunately it doesn't, it has the upload feature but not to imgur.
It offers to upload to ZimageZ but you have to be a registered user there as it asks for username & password during the process.

Easiest way I think for Phil to upload & get the BBcode for his image is by going to http://imgur.com/
Clicking on the text in the green box up the top that says "New Post", using the "Browse" button in the window that appears to navigate to his image file (/home/ray/Pictures/), finding the screenshot & selecting it, then clicking "Open" to upload it.
Once it's uploaded it'll show "Creating Post" for a second or two then the image will appear.
Once the image has appeared mousing over it will show a menu, beside where it says "Copy" there's a down-arrow, mousing over that down-arrow will show another menu, one of those options will be "Get share links".
Clicking on that will bring up the "Share Options" menu, bottom one, BBCode (Forums) click the blue "Copy" button beside it & paste it into a post in this thread.   8)

Your screenshot is local on your pc.. In your Pictured folder; for the forum to view you will need to upload to http://www.imgur.com then copy the BBC code that is supplied after upload and paste into you're reply..

"Screenshot" has the ability to post to imgur for you - on the second page the action page select the radio button "Host on Imgur" (I believe 2.8 had this feature).. it will return a BBCode for forums..

Oh, no sign in is required to upload to imgur

Sorry Phil but that's not a screenshot, it can't be viewed.
For a screenshot to be viewable on the forums the image needs to be uploaded to an image hosting service, then the BBCode copied and pasted into your post, as explained here - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/screenshots/forum-posting-guidelines-673/ under the "Inserting Images:" heading.
Thanks

Check the manual.. https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/customize.html

Under the section Themes and Icons..

  Menu, Settings, Settings Manager - - then select Window Manager. The Style tab will display available themes that tweak the look of open window frames and the minimize/maximize/close buttons in the windows.



The Title Font setting where you can change the Font and Size - does increasing the font size give the results you're looking for??

For someone to help with the problem first it needs to be understood.

I'm guessing here but I think the "upper panel on all windows" as mentioned might be known as the Title Bar?...

That explains what he means by "it has a shutdown x two arrows to change the screen size and a - to shut down the screen-in the middle  list the current screen." I remember seeing a theme in windows manager as described.  ;D

On Linux Lite the 'Taskbar' (where the Menu button etc. is found) is known as the Panel, more than one can be displayed & can be placed at the top, bottom, sides etc. depending on user preference.

The font size of the Title Bar can be increased by going Menu > Settings > Window Manager then changing the Title Font size.
Changing the Title Bar size is more complicated, the easiest way to try is to try a different Window Manager theme as some have different heights for the Title Bar.
Otherwise the themerc file & possibly several of the .xpm images inside the Window Manager theme itself (usr/share/themes) needs to be edited to change the size.

If that's not what you mean by 'upper panel' please provide a screenshot of what it is you're talking about.


EDIT:


Here's a couple of Title Bars, top one is the Kokodi theme, bottom one is a mod I did myself of the Scout039 theme.

Why am I not getting any help on this problem
The replies I have recieved do not pertain to the upper panel
This panel is on all windows

Why does not one of the moderators answer this help with problem

You have received help on the panel from both torreydale and me. A panel in XFCE is a panel. It does not matter if you put it is on the top, bottom, or side of the desktop. The adjustments are the same as torreydale confirmed. The panel will show all the time unless you tweak it in the panel preferences to hide.

The moderators may not had a reason to help because your panel question was answered.  :-\

I do not know what you mean by "it has a shutdown x two arrows to change the screen size and a - to shut down the screen-in the middle  list the current screen." Maybe it needs to be a separate topic.  :-[

There is no upper or top panel by default.  If there is, you created it or moved it to that position, perhaps unknowingly.  Either way, Coastie's advice is sound. 

For the record, another way to get to Panel Properties is Menu > Settings > Panel.

Ah, an easy one that i can answer. If you want it wider:

Right click on panel

Left click on Panel Properties

Select on Display tap if not already selected

Under Row Size, increase number until you find the size you like

I set mine at 50 for a wider row

If you mean you what it longer, just ask again.

Here is what my desk top:
