/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Exclamation mark [text if wanted] (link)

No spaces between segments

No spaces between segments

When trying to teach someone markdown and avoid actually rendering it, it helps to use backticks (usually at the top left of your keyboard, next to the tilde ~). That way you don't have to worry about potentially confusing them by saying things like "do this, but with no spaces". You give them something they could just copy/paste directly.

Example:

`![optional alt text](https://website.com/file.gif)`

becomes

![optional alt text](https://website.com/file.gif)

you can also do this with the built-in code button < >, but i had no clue about the ! in markdown to make pictures. I guess I should have pressed the help button because it tells you right there D=

Definitely good to know that simple button is an option, because it can be tough to remember all these little specifics about Markdown syntax

I swear I used to be able to just copy-paste the picture URL over a segment of text which automatically does the []() parts for you, but I notice it excludes the !. Maybe that was only ever working for text links and I just forgot? Who knows.

Worked like a charm! I'll have to remember that trick while the migration thing is in progress.
