To have an announcement of any kind you really need to write it in this HTML format. So, prior to posting it would be nice to see what your post actually looks like, once posted, specially if you are including links, images, tables.. so on. Is there a way to do it? Thank you!

When you're writing any reply there is a button named 'Preview' next to 'post' which does what you're asking for.

Keep in mind that as a newbie you won't be able to some of the text formatting features (including images). You can lift some of these limitations by buying a Copper rank.

It should work, you don't get directed to a new page, look carefully above 'Post reply' the preview should be there.

This was very helpful! I just bought copper rank. I dont want to load you up with my questions, but if by any chance you'd know the limitations on image posting size or any other limitations I would greatly appreciate it. The image I am trying to post is not going through, prob because of its size. I get an error message "invalid image". The image is hosted by an image site. I looked everywhere in "Help" can not find any guideline.

Are you sure you are using the right URL? Does it end with the image extension name? (ex: .png or .jpg). You need to use the image direct link. Post the link you are trying to use here. Btw, the size limit for images is 2.5mb;

As I know, images is probably text formatting restriction for newbies. Maybe I don't know something? I see that sometimes newbies can't post links. Their link is being replaced with "suspicious link removed" warning, but don't know ehen exactly it happens.
OP, it seems that you also need to learn how to quote messages properly. When you quote post, you should write your text at very bottom, under [/quote] tag. Also, when you quote post with images, it would be best to remove [img] tags and just leave link to the image.

I tried to get the actual image link from that banner for you but it turns out that it's not directly linked but encrypted from the server to prevent unwanted downloads. Also, the " Legi** challenge your peers - win D**" text wasn't written to the image ( shoes), it's an overlay. Just do this instead ( ! if canva allowed you to !): - Open the banner in full screen, then "print screen" (W10:Print Screen/W7 or others:Ctrl+PrintScreen)
- For W10: Go to the Screenshot folder, usually under Photo Folder.
- For W7: Get any random image and edit it using Windows Paint, then Press CTRL+V to paste the copied (CTRL+PrtScreen) image, save.
- Upload it to imgur or any image sharing site, and get the direct URL that ends with an extension.
- You can now post it to your thread.
BTW, for the OP ( and other newbies), after pressing " preview" and saw that the texts are in the right format ( excluding the images) you can just proceed and post it. Now visit your profile page and click " Show the last post of this person" and your post should show like you're a Jr.Member+ with the images displayed ( just in that page / given that you've linked the right format). You're a copper member now, this wont make a difference now.
