Yes. I keep a little cheat-sheet handy of some of the more useful-looking hodges and podges as I learn of them.
I see your hodge and raise you a podge.
Would you consider sharing those hodges and podges? I bet many of us would find such a document very helpful.
Document with some of the more common basic elements.
GreysonCarlisle’s post with an extensive document of formatting stuff, scroll down a bit to get to the good stuff. (This post also starts with a table of contents with clickable links to the various sections.)
(These are not the cheat-sheet I mentioned, which is just a hand-written collection of a few items I think are useful but not so easily rememberable.)
Thank you~I printed off the first and bookmarked the second. With your kind help perhaps I can up my posting game.
I didn’t know you could do this!

I’ve also bookmarked this Markdown Table Generator
It makes it very easy to create tables.

The site sucks. It is no better than the old and is ugly.
At least with old board, I didn’t lose posts.
I have lost 6 posts because it went into ‘saving’ and then…didn’t save or I just had to close the window.
The only time I’ve had a Discourse post stuck in saving is when the internet connection dropped while the save was in progress. On vBulletin the same thing happened when the internet connection dropped. You can’t save when you can’t communicate with the server.
And also happened when vBulletin crashed. Which Discourse doesn’t do.
One trick I picked up back in vBulletin and still do today out of habit is just before clicking the [Reply] button or [Save Edit] button to send the post I hit Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C. So I have the entire post on my clipboard. Even if the browser or internet or whatever crashes hard I can paste the text into Notepad or whatever. Only a Windows freeze will lose my post for good.
I agree that vBulletin was just as bad on saving posts, but I would argue that a smarter bit of software would save your post locally (using cookies or local storage) temporarily, and only erase it once it reaches the server.
That said, it’s a problem all over the Internet, so I recommend installing an extension like Typio form recovery.
