  1. Hey, is there a guide somewhere about how to do pretty forum post formatting? I think nicely formatted posts tend to get more traction, so it would be nice to know.

      I don't format shit n I get rep; imo better to make your post easily accessible and readable.

       

      Not that I don't like an artistic post - I do love them. Just important to make an easily accessible version of the text in the post available. Not everyone does the English super duper good.

      Highly suggest developing your own style. A few things I can give you as tips, though, for things that people typically do (or at least I do), though, are this:

       

      - Paint.NET is a great and free resource that you can get on most operating systems, highly recommend it if you don't have Photoshop and don't want to spend money on that. It's what I use.

      - Colour palettes - find yourself one specific "scheme" with two colours for your post, for example, two varying shades of gold (one darker, one lighter). 

      - 1001fonts.com is a fantastic place to find good fonts, you can customise their sizing, their colour, etc, and put that as an image into your Imgur Album. You can also make good dividers from some of their symbology / wingdings fonts if you know a little bit of Paint.NET / Photoshop.

      - Image borders and gradients - I usually go for either a 10 pixel wide or a 5 pixel wide border on all my images, and you can select the border itself and use the gradient tool (press G) in order to make a gradient between the two colours I mentioned in the colour palette part earlier.

      - Imgur Albums - get all your images into an imgur album, and when you're putting the post on the forum (copy paste from Google Docs), do the post WITHOUT images, and then do "Copy Image" on each of the images and paste them in DIRECTLY onto the forum post where you want them to be, which will avoid image sizing issues that you might otherwise encounter on the forums.

       

      Aside from that, fiddle around with the different stuff you can already do with the built-in text options, such as gradients on text, pages, et cetera.
