There's a simple work-around for inactive players. If there's no battle going on, they just automatically follow the others.
If there's a battle, the DM plays their part.
As for screenshots, which I understand would be used as an update of current status, we can have, in the first post of the topic, have a list of:
- players with their current stats, inventories, active spells, etc.
- current quest
- current map (if possible, i.e: town or dungeon) would be an image
- current battle (list of enemies and their status: fighting, disabled, unconscious, dead, turned, stunned, etc...)
