Extras Walkthrough on Walkthroughs thread
To start off your post make sure you have the right facts on the subject you are giving a walkthrough on. Do some research to find out what you did not already know about that subject.
Keeping It Neat!
Your post has to be neat, otherwise it will not be appealing to the other people viewing it.
Here are a few examples that a neat post would have.
Those are just some easy ways you can make your post more neat. There are more ways I will get into more detail about later.
Pick a Subject
You have to have a set subject for the topic (A certain Game, modding, modding with USB, cheats, Etc.). This will help the post run much more smoothly. It will make it a lot easier and less chaotic for you to.
I will give some extra examples.
Title is 50% of what people look For, So make it good.
The title is one of the most important parts about the thread. If you mess the title up, you will lose a large amount of people looking at your post, and we don't want that. Here are some examples.
Place some videos
Videos can be more helpful then you can sometimes. So maybe make some videos or find some. If you do not know how to place a youtube video in, there is a little youtube button on the tool bar when you are making or editing the post. You click that and enter the full URL of the video in. It may be something minor to the post, but it can be the difference between a successful and unsuccessful post.
Use Spoilers!
I can not stress that enough, this post looks very neat do to them, they clean it up and can make it easier on people eyes. It is just a small way of making a huge post a what I call "Suitcase post".
Here are some helpful tools to use! These are the Codes for making the post Neater!
These are just some ways to make the post look better, here are the codes fro them.

Keeping It Neat!
Your post has to be neat, otherwise it will not be appealing to the other people viewing it.
Here are a few examples that a neat post would have.
- - Spoilers
- Correct spelling
- Different font sizes for Titles
- Different font colors for different segments
- A more neat and tidy font
- Bold, Italics, Underlines used when needed
- Make use of the uncommonly used "list" tool
- Maybe have some post banners made for titles
- Use font alignment
- Center font
- Right font
- Left Font
- Make use of every tool
- Add videos
- MAKE A GOOD TITLE

I will give some extra examples.
- - If you choose a game like Fallout New Vegas, show them everything they want to know on that game. If you have the title for the Post being "Fallout New Vegas Help Thread", then you will have to show them everything.
- If you do modding in general, you have to be experienced on the subject, because people will have tons of questions on many games you may have never modded before, so you have to be educated at the entire subject.
Title is 50% of what people look For, So make it good.
The title is one of the most important parts about the thread. If you mess the title up, you will lose a large amount of people looking at your post, and we don't want that. Here are some examples.
- - If you are doing a post on lots of cheat codes, you may want a title like "Cheats for 20+ games! 200+ cheat codes!". That will attract a lot more attention then this title. "Huge cheats post. Lots". That title just looks bland and dull.
Place some videos
Videos can be more helpful then you can sometimes. So maybe make some videos or find some. If you do not know how to place a youtube video in, there is a little youtube button on the tool bar when you are making or editing the post. You click that and enter the full URL of the video in.

[hr] makes that line that I have separating my sections of my post, that makes it very neat.
[spoiler] TEXT HERE [/spoiler] makes the "Hidden" button I have on my post
[youtube] VIDEO URL HERE [/youtube] places a youtube video on you post
[font size=12] TEXT HERE [/font] This can change the font size, the number can go up to 24
[font color=red] TEXT HERE [/font] That can change the font color
[font type=century gothic] TEXT HERE [/font] Can change the font Type
[url] URL GOES HERE [/url] That places a URL Constantly Update Post
You must constantly update the post with any new information you come across. Keeping the post up to date is super necessary to a successful post. Again, this is a small yet vital thing. THIS IS A MUST
