How to see the patches?

irmaruiditos's icon

Hi!
I am new in this Forum.
I would like to know how could I see the patches that people share to show some examples.
I can't see them.
They appear just as a lot of letters.
I am sure about it is easy, but I am sorry i don't know how to do it.
Could somebody help me?
Thank you very much!

Copy the code to the clipboard and then launch Max. Select File>'New From Clipboard'.

Saving and Sharing Max Patches as Text

It's possible to save Max patchers as text with the "Copy Compressed" text format.
This allows you to share code easily in our public forum or via email.

BTW, Andrew, didn't there used to be a "sticky" for this?

I thought perhaps it had been moved to the "Forum Guidelines" link under the "Welcome to the Cycling '74 Forums" banner on the main forums page, but that link is sorta broken (over here it generates a new tab with the text "No input file specified"). I'd submit a report to the correct channels if only the Forum Guidelines would tell me who the correct channel is.-)
