If you be active here, you will learn all these automatically. However, steamtyme has created some videos for newbies. I have not checked them although but I am sure they will be helpful for newbies. Check- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5200715.0

I do not see any reason to change the text color. It is one of the worst way of getting attention of readers. I had problem with reading such color.

I support that. I having to be a new member,  having issues to quote a part of post and reply. Just have lots to read and go through in understanding this forum. Just need to know how to make use of those tools cause I am new to computer tools.

Forum is here to read and gather more knowledge so if you are lazy even to learn basic things then you will never gain anything from this forum.Using forum is difficult? It will only take few minutes to understand every tool here because it is pretty old style forum and more easy to use than anything.

To quote any post, just click quote and write your content then click post when you are finished.

It is old style forum to people who are in internet for years but think about the people who are newbies with internet even. I remember I was very confused to understand smf when I first used smf. It is long ago, my early stage of Internet.

The question is what is the main reason why you came here ? If you just to want to learn you can read different topic you want to learn and ask the thing that you don't understand in this forum.by searching it in  Google you can easily find the topic you want to understand that posted here  before  this will make works easier for you. I also do the same thing when I am newbie I am not always asking but I always look for the answer that posted before so I will not ask the same question that already answered  by other members .

Maybe it will be difficult for anyone to use bitcointalk on mobile devices because this site is not optimized for the smaller screen but when they browse via big screen then it won't be much difficult for anyone in my opinion.

Remember the users who visit this forum knows that this is a forum and not a youtube site where you will get videos tutorial for everything. People in this forum are more interested in reading rather than watching the videos. There has been a lot of stuff available here which is easy to understand, but you need to read that.

P.S Please don't change the color of your font. This is not a forum where you will get attention by the decorating fonts.

[The Cryptovator]

Please change you writing color to black first. It was very difficult me to read your post and I believe it will discourage more reputed users to read. You don't need to highlight your full post.

Regarding video tutorials, why not search on YouTube? Who will not able to understand forum system by reading posts then probably they wouldn't understand from YouTube tutorials which will be made in English. More better search it by your native language and you might get best answer.  Spend more time to read and learn, that's the best way.

P.S Please don't change the color of your font. This is not a forum where you will get attention by the decorating fonts.

You are doing same thing by quote his thread. When you are going to reply whole thread (main thread), then quote isn't mandatory. But if you are going to reply a specific line from main post then you may quote a line but not full thread.

It seems I see something, what the OP needs, is useful for beginners.

@Steamtyme, it has made it easier for beginners.

I am going to use this thread as a final landing page for all video resources I create regarding the forum. The idea here is to help newbies get started on the right foot starting out in the forum. There are also some things that may be of use to veteran forum members. There are plenty of pitfalls that members fall into and it is my hope that these videos will help you avoid them and become productive members of the forum.

Getting started with a new account - This video covers account creation, finding the rules and understanding stickied threads.

Post formatting - This video covers using the edit button, as well as trimming quotes.

Forum Feedback - An overview of the feedback side of the trust system

I am going to lock this topic as it is only intended as a resource. I will do my best to bump it daily to keep it visible. Here is the thread where I launch new videos for review, as well as take suggestions and critiques.

I think having a video guide for something as simple as replying on forums might be a little bit too much, as quick explanations on links that other users have already linked will mostly suffice. If sort of "video-graphic" learning is really the one for you though, probably do a YouTube search on "Forum BBCodes".

Also, pro tip: get a grasp on how these bbcodes work by using the "Preview" option when creating a topic or making a reply.

I think you could just get it in youtube tutorials since forums in every website and all similar, or just basic HTML. Also if you're going to put videos in this forum that would is going to take a lot of memory or space.

It's easy to learn as long as your actions in the forum you would easily learn it in no time, of course, it's normal to struggle if it's your first time or your just a newbie in this forum there are obviously a lot of things that you need to learn in a forum.

If your really an active member here for sure you would try to learn things here in the forum. Your still a newbie and it's still a long way, just try it before complaining because this is a forum not youtube.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I do not see any reason to change the text color.

Same here--I have a dark mode going in my browser and blue-on-black definitely isn't a great combination.

There was some talk by Theymos a while back of creating a Youtube channel, but nothing ever came of it that I know of.  I'm pretty sure that was supposed to be way more than a tutorial, but had a channel been launched a walkthrough probably would have been a nice feature that a lot of folks would likely view. 

OP, nothing is likely to come of your suggestion simply because Theymos doesn't make a lot of changes and doesn't tend to do things like what you're proposing, but it isn't a bad idea.  Maybe someone with a healthy amount of ambition and forum spirit could produce something along the lines of a video tutorial.  Where's Jet Cash when you need him?

Trust me is a good idea but who is to pay for the data or who is to pay for the time one will use in doing all the video editing or the tutorials. When you have this idea you also think of the resources involved in try to make this thing work.

[shield132]

If user doesn't understand how to reply, then it's impossible to detect that he/she has this issue (and otherwise, sounds illogical ).
Also, it's always good to shake your brain (don't mean concussion of the brain) and find deals. If you want to succeed as bad as you wanna breathe, then you'll be product.

No one teaches dog how to bark so... There are some things that you have to understand. If you can turn on computer, open browser and type words in search engine, then I guess registration and clicking on reply won't be very hard, especially if you know English. On another hand, Chrome has built in Google Translate that you can use to translate website in your language and do what you want.

I think people will soon ask for: How to sleep? How to wake up? How to breathe? How to eat? How to see? And similar tutorials.

I support that. I having to be a new member,  having issues to quote a part of post and reply. Just have lots to read and go through in understanding this forum. Just need to know how to make use of those tools cause I am new to computer tools.

Just like what I did with your post here now, definitely you won't say you can't see it bold and clear quoting someone post just look by the right hand side of you screen that's if you are using a smartphone you will see QUOTE now click and it will load up with a comment box all you have to do is scroll down to the end of the write-up and write your reply after this [/quote]👈

[/quote] Actually this what am referring to and thanks for putting me through. I  myself don't know how to quote a post and reply. I only know few about running the forum, like creating a topic, reply  and just learn how to color a post while I am learning more so I can interact and participate in every opportunities i have learn so far.

[UserU]

Videos? Ain't nobody got time for dat, especially if they span over 10 minutes.

[Steamtyme]

Hey as others have pointed out I made a video to serve this purpose. It doesn't go into every minute detail of quoting and what not but is a good basis to get started. Iirc it also pointo you to this section which covers BBcode and certain button functions.
Help Tab

Apart from that there are written posts detailing some of the finer points of posting etiquette. Here is one I made [Tips] Posting technique It covers quoting in there as well.

I started and will probably continue more videos to simplify some things. The idea though was not to replace reading and learning from experience. Those are some of the most important and forgotten skills on this forum imo. good luck to you and other newbies on your journey.

If a person is coming to this forum as newbie then most probably he would have come with thought of learning something new, or might have gotten ideas if earning free bitcoin from friend or family or could be alts(lolz).

Most probably they won’t need such videos in these scenarios.

Meanwhile  some new members do have issues/problem in running this forum.e.g Grammars in guide,unable to understand simple way to quote and reply,watchlist, trustlist, preview and all usable options & tools on these forum page.

These features are so handy here that with little efforts and regular use of forum can let you understand all these things.

Grammar isn’t problem of forum, it’s about their language and English understanding.

Basic of well reviewed video tutorial can help beginners to understand usage of every tools and every corner of  these forum.

Would say same thing as above in reply to this statement.
