Posting a new thread

First of all you should choose a sub-forum suitable for what you would like to post, let's take as example that you want to post a Combolist for cracking:

Head over the Cracking category (check Image 2 if you're lost)

Once you're satisfied with your content, you can simply click on the Post Thread button to get your thread posted in the forum.


Hiding your content

As you may have noticed, all the posted threads around the forums have a thing called "Hidden Content", in order to reveal the hidden content: non-registered users have to register an account on cracked.io / non-upgraded users have to reply to the thread / upgraded users can see hidden content by default, without having to reply, check https://cracked.io/upgrade.php for more informations about upgrades.

If your post contains something valuable that you want to hide, click on the Lock button (see image below), this will add the tags and in between them you will add your content.

Formatting text using MyBB code buttons

There's a lot of things you can do with the buttons in the post page, such as add images, links, embed videos, spoilers (like the ones I used to put my images in this thread), in order to add the formatting to text, highlight the part of text that you want and click on one of the buttons, here's what each button does:

1. Bold formatting (example)
   
2. Italic formattic (example)
   
3. Underline formatting (example)
   
4. Striked formatting (example)
   
5. Allignment (left)
   
6. Allignment (centered)
   
7. Allignement (right)
   
8. Justify text (space is added between words so that both edges of each line are aligned with both margins)
   
9. Character selection
   
10. Character's size selection
    
11. Character color
    
12. Remove formatting
    
13. Insert image (image url must end with an image extension such as .jpg, .png and so on)
    
14. Insert hyperlink (you can add a link that's show as custom text like this takes you to google.com)
    
15. Remove hyperlink / link
    
16. Insert embedded video
    
17. Insert emojis
    
18. Insert hidden tags
    
19. Insert numbered list (just like the list you're reading right now)
    
20. Insert dots list (still a list but with a centered dot instead of numbers)
    
21. Insert quote
    
22. Insert code 
    Code:

    [align=left][align=left]here's a code[/align][/align]
23. Paste as sample text
    
24. Insert spoiler

25. Insert hide (via browser pop-up window)

Using Draft Templates

Draft templates offer a fast way to get a thread ready to be posted, it's literally templates that you can create and save and then load when posting a new thread.

You can get started with draft templates via https://cracked.io/usercp2.php?action=drafts_templates (Also reachable via Settings -> Draft Templates)
This is how the section looks like, click on the New button on the top right side to create a new draft template (see image below)

Create your template as you want, you can always edit it at a later date, below there's an example I did for Combolists posting, you can then click on the Add button to save your template and add it to the list, there you will be able to edit or delete any of your existing templates

To load a draft template first of all start the creation of a new thread and then click on Load Draft Template on the top right side, then click on the insert button (the little hand pointing to the right, see image below) to add the template to your thread:

And here's our template loaded in, all you have to do is fill up the needed informations such as download links, images, previews, informations and then post our thread.




This is it, I'll update this guide with other stuff if it comes in my mind or in case I missed something, for now you have the basic instructions on how to correctly post a thread, if you've gone through the whole guide it means you're on your way to contribute to the forum so props to you!
