Hey and welcome !!
It's really nice to know that even someone who's just now joining FH can still see the charm of the game & community.
The forums are a bit of a learning curve and I unfortunately stayed away from the forums for years despite being a user since 2011.
But turns out the forums are great haha, you just have to get the hang of it.
There are tutorials for pretty much everything on the forums, including coding, map making, and presets making.
Additionally, you can find BBCoding tutorials elsewhere if you google it.
I'll give you a quick tutorial on how to add images/screenshots to the forums.
You'll first want to upload the photo to an image hosting service. People have used Photobucket and Flickr in the past. But I recommend using Imgur.
Once you upload an image to Imgur, you'll want to click "Get share links"
Then you'll want to copy where it says "BBCode (Forums)"
Then on the forums you're gonna want to paste that link into a code you'll type out. Here's what it should look like:
Where it says img width you can just mess around with the size, it does not have to be 650. The bigger the number, the bigger the image will appear.
I'll leave a few other links to some fun and helpful tutorials:
Forum fonts, colors and gradients:
