[aname=top][/aname] Ever wanted a quick and easy way to post your map and make it look great? Ever posted a map and forgotten something you should have included? Ever been told your post wasn't up to standards? Want your map to get more attention? If you answered 'Yes' to any of the above questions, I urge you to read on! Having a great looking post that follows ALL of Forge Hub's map posting guidelines will help your map stand out and attract more attention. I put together some code for laying out a clear post that will abide by the Map Posting Rules of the site. What you need to do: Use the appropriate code depending on how many pictures you would like. Copy the code from the code box into your new map topic. Replace everything in CAPITALS AND UNDERSCORES with the information required (Tip: Double click on the text with underscores to quickly edit it while creating your post). Paste code in the New Thread page when making a map thread (along with the additional map information). Which one? [jumpto=one]I have 1 picture to embed[/jumpto] [jumpto=2]I have 2 pictures to embed[/jumpto] [jumpto=3]I have 3 pictures to embed[/jumpto] [jumpto=4]I have 4 pictures to embed[/jumpto] [jumpto=5]I have 5 pictures to embed[/jumpto] [jumpto=55]I have 5+ pictures to embed[/jumpto] Once you have copied the correct code to your clipboard (Highlight code, Ctrl+C or Cmnd+C), you may use these links to post your map in the appropriate section of the Map Database: Create New Thread in Halo 4 Standard Maps Create New Thread in Halo 4 Social Maps Create New Thread in Halo 4 Aesthetic Maps Create New Thread in Halo 4 Gametypes When you have opened one of the above links you will see a form to fill out. Fill in each blank and proceed to paste your appropriate copied code into the map thread. Congratulations, you've prepared a successful map thread! But, just to be sure, click the Preview Post button (next to the Submit New Thread button). You can see what your code will look like before committing to making the thread, and if you are happy with the results, go ahead and click the Submit button to make your new thread. If you would like to learn how to further embed pictures take a look at this thread.

Is there no longer a preview picture, so you can get a glimpse of the map before you click on the map's thread?
