Thanks 
Was trying to see the difference between and   to keep the emojis small since @Ian_Chimp figured it out

  works too. 
I think any extra hidden text thatās not in <> would work.

i just tend go for the fullstop option as its least complicated. But coding works too

I just noticed when I copy a link from a topic or post, it adds ?u=pkh at the end of it, but it looks like nothing changes if I remove itā¦ Anyone know it matters?
I donāt think it matters. I stripped them for about a year, but now I mostly leave them in. Just be careful if youāre sharing links with friends.

@Ian_Chimp I wanted to try the podcast formatting since there was a new episode If I did it wrong, feel free to edit or delete it (also not sure if you wanted to catalogue it with season 3 since itās an unnumbered special )
(Also, I think the second to last clickable link on this one is supposed to go to the season 2 index because itās already on the season 3 index)

Updated. And Iāve added the Christmas special to the index.

Iām afraid they do not:
And when I quote them the image name is just gurbleblurbā¦ 
(Sorry, I couldnāt resist including a pop about your image names )
Another thing to consider @anon85834913 is whether you want the product image to be a link or not. If you make it a link it loses the ability to enlarge in a lightbox. Eg.
This one will enlarge in a pop out gallery when clicked:
This one will not:

I guess for me, the combo of bigger pictures with click through to the product page probably works better. Iām assuming of course, that with the bigger picture itās easier to spark an interest for more info, so the click through straight to the product page is whatās needed.
If the viewer was just looking for a bigger picture by clicking on the one in the post then they get a bigger picture having reached the product page, and usually more pics as well.

Both options have their pros and cons in different situations, so itās completely up to you.
I find the interactive part the most useful thing about the DOTD posts. Most of the main info is already on the deal of the day summary page (and the rest is on the full product page itself), and then we chip in with a place where people can add their own opinions about that dayās deal (thinking of buying it, couldnāt resist it, bought it and loved/hated it, etc). So as long as thereās an obvious product link to the full page somewhere in there, then I think thatās the minimum you need to link it up.
The DOTD posts are also good for including information that isnāt necessarily on the product page. So, other colours of the same item that are cheaper in other deals, or the battery info (especially for remotes), etc.
Itās an evolving process though, so itās always worth an explore. And if you come up with something good @Peitho and @PKH will happily steal it.

Does anyone know if itās possible to search for posts by a particular person in a topic- for example searching for reviews by @Ian_Chimp in the āMy Reviewsā topic? Iāve tried going to the correct topic and then the search button at the top, clicked the āsearch this topicā box and typed in person the I know has posted some reviews but it didnāt work.
You can search by putting @Ian_Chimp in, and ticking the āSearch this topicā box and that should bring them up as search results.
Or you can filter them by clicking on their username in the topic and pulling up a usercard, and then clicking on the grey āx posts in topicā button. (more info)
But for the My Reviews topic, some people will have a link in their usercard straight to that filter view. (I have one in mine )
You can also replicate this filter manually by adding a filter and username (no @) to a topic link like this:

Great, thanks. I tried the first method which didnāt work, not sure why but Iāll give the others a try.

I thought you might have missed the @ off. Iāve just checked, and it still works for me?
I didnāt miss the @. My phone just went a bit squiffy when I tied to search within a topic. Probably just my phone!

Iām not going to lie that is disappointing. I will start using the 150x200 ratio for side by side pictures then. Do you just use 1 space @Ian_Chimp or a coded break between them? I think I just assumed if it works on my phone it will be fine for everyone. Oh well.

I just use a regular space if I want a gap between them. Itās tough to get something looking consistent on every sized device. It still works though.

There is a new way to add links. Iām not quite sure how to explain it concisely, so weāll have a practice in here before I write it upā¦
Basically, you copy your link to your clipboard, navigate to your composer and highlight some text you want to be the display text:
And then select āpasteā (or the link snippet from your clipboard if you have a swish one). That should automatically add the hyperlink in for you.
Does that make sense?
