Sometime may have not noted, but when I see the following things, I fix them every time; so, if you can follow these guidelines, my work - and the ones of the other mods - will be easier, thanks!
IMAGES
To insert an image, just copy the URL, but DO NOT FORGET to add the s after the http - basically, if you want your image to be showed, you must write your URL as https://yoururl.com - if you forget to use the https, or simply your image hoster can't use it, your image will appear just as a simple link.
Hint: http://postimage.io offers free image hosting since several years, it works well!
MEDIAINFO (and other monospaced fonts data)
If you post mediainfo data, and other formatted text that reads better when using a monospaced fonts, please use the CODE tag; it will be more readable, and avoid to have looong posts!
EMOTICONS
If you want to add emoticons to your text, typing directly them, please do not forget to put a space BEFORE them, to be recognized by the forum software; this is done to avoid confusion, and to let the poster to write something like this
...the movie (released in 1978)...
without having this
...the movie (released in 197...
got the point? want to have some space between the emoticon and your text? Just type two spaces before it and one after... when finally we will have a new set of emoticons, I'll plan to solve this, and add some space to the sides, to avoid double space before (single space would still be used, though) and one after.
Last thing: "preview" is your friend; use it, at least sometimes!
Thanks!
