We waste WAY too much time trying to get newbies to post "correctly". And, NO ONE READS THE STICKY LINKS. NOT EVEN ME! Its a frustrating waste of time! This is not fun for us, and especially not fun for the newbies. In fact, many never come back after being nannied to death about it.
We need to change the topic editor to something like :
A window that is labeled "Paste your code in here".
Another that says : Post your message in here. You could even preload it with the standard
"newbie grovel".
A big picture image saying : Drag images to be posted here.
Another area that says : Paste your URL links in here.
At the bottom you can have a small button labeled : Use standard message editor.
If you browse this section of the Forum you will see that this has been raised many times with different variations. And for example see the 2nd Sticky Thread
Recently we have been very fortunate to get some limited access to some Arduino development time.
Please bear with things as that particular topic is on a list.
We got most of the "ALERTS" fixed (still ongoing)
Most pictures will now "self attach"
Moderators got a new feature. (Macros for stock replies)
Limited tracking was added to aid chase another bug. ( repeat emails )
