[howto] Use "Insert Code" when posting on Forum boards

Hey guys! Just a reminder: if you're going to post code in this forum, please make it easier to read by using the "Insert/Edit Code Sample"  button on the expanded formatting toolbar. Here's a short video showing how it works.

If you need to edit code after you created the block, just double-click on it. Ideally you'd also indent it first, either in an editor or with something like DotNetFiddle.

Remember: the easier it is for others to read your code, the more likely that they'll be able to solve your problem!

Cheers!
