Answer: Always. One of my principal goals is to create understandable, usable content.
I'll add to your rant list, though: expiring pastebins. The best way to post snippets of logs, .conf files, etc., is in line inside [code] tags. If the content is too large to conveniently post in line, a pastebin is appropriate but any helpers should absolutely post a snippet in line if they find an issue. Otherwise, in just a matter of days, part of the relevant troubleshooting information is irretrievably lost and the value of the thread to posterity is diminished.
That and, of course, excessive use of color.

I use them, though it would be nice if they were made a bit more fancy as an incentive, e.g. by auto-adding a html title attribute. |

That may or may not be doable, as it would require a page fetch, and read, to determine the title. I was thinking more along the li,es of a popup box with a Text Box... _________________ The Birth and Growth of Science is the Death and Atrophy of Art -- Unknown
