Title: Is there a simple guide on how to post links and images in a new topic?
Post by: mikfresh on February 03, 2018, 05:14:09 PM
I'd use a guide where it is explained the way to proper fill a thread with images and link. I've seen there are a lot of functions, but still haven't tried them, avoiding the risk to bother users of the forum. Secondly how do i create a self-moderated post? Thank you a lot for sharing your experience.

Read this: - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0
Its covers most of the guidelines even though it is unofficial.
You cannot create a self moderated post. You can delete your posts whenever you want. You can create a self moderated topic, though I think it is possible only in a few sections. You can just click the little plus button in the left bottom part of the new topic you want to start and you can check the self moderated thread option.

No problem, happy to help. I'm not entirely sure if you can embed images in text like with MS Word, but you can at least center them using

Code:
[center][img]image url here[/img][/center]

to make things look a bit neater. Lesson 3 of the BBCode guide might also be helpful, tables can clean things up pretty nicely.

You can actually reduce the size of the image too. There are apparently way too many BB tags, related to HTML/forum obviously that most of us hardly even know about.
Code:
[img width=20]https://bitcoin.org/img/icons/opengraph.png[/img]
