Hi peeps! It’s been a few months since we moved over to Discourse from our other social forums and I’ve gotten a handful of questions around different navigation and posting things within the site. So I thought I would start a topic to list out some of my go

###  Formatting your topics

Discourse has a few different formats for building posts, (Markdown, BBCode, HTML). For the most part Markdown will cover all of your needs, and there is this handy [reference list](https://markdown-it.github.io/) of formats.

###  Grid layouts with images

It’s pretty easy to load an image/gif right into your topics by dragging and dropping your image right into your posts, but did you know you could format them into a spiffy layout by using `[gird]...[/grid]`? Your post would end up looking like this:

```css

[grid]
image 1
image 2
[/grid]
```

Thanks to the [discourse gods](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-image-grids-in-posts/268664) for building this in

###  Mobile

If you would like to access this site (or other discourse communities) there is a free app, DiscourseHub, on both [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.discourse&hl=en_US) and [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/discourse-hub/id1173672076) that make a world of difference when accessing from the phone. When you login make sure to use our server url `community.arkio.is` and login with your account info.

I’ll keep adding to this list as time grows!
