+===== Upload your log =====
+Do not copy and paste, drag and drop, screenshot, or significantly alter your logs. **Use a paste service, then post the link to the paste in Discord chat.**
 Open the log file, copy the contents to the clipboard, and paste them in a paste, for example:
-  * https://gist.github.com/: 100MB Requires member (Free)
+  * https://gist.github.com/  100MB Requires member (Free)
-  * https://pastebin.com/: 512KB as guest, 10MB as Pro ($$$)
+  * https://pastebin.com/     512KB as guest, 10MB as Pro ($$$)
-  * https://hastebin.com/ 400KB

-  * https://paste.gg/: 15MB
+  * https://paste.gg/         15MB
+  * https://mclo.gs/          10 MiB / Anonymous (designed specifically for Minecraft logs)
+Once you submit the paste, you can use the paste URL in the Fabric Discord so others can help you.
+When sharing a large piece of code or a log, you should use a paste site instead of dragging and dropping a file or copy and pasting your logs. Dumping your logs will result in a large embedded codeblock in your message, making it difficult for other people to read previous messages.
+Text files cannot be viewed on Discord for mobile, and Discord for desktop only shows a limited preview of the file. Uploading your logs to a paste site means that volunteers do not need to download your log to view it. Some paste sites also come with syntax highlighting, further saving the time of volunteers.
