Here in the form is ok, if you use the code tags
See the # symbol in the menu.

Or insert in your text (without the spaces at the [ ])
[ code=pascal ]
  ... your code
[ /code ]

Are you asking someone to go through it to find a problem?  If so, a shorter code fragment might be more effective ...

you can publish a problematic project here.

If it's that large then having a failing test project is better.
The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing

But who would you recommend

Simply pasting a long sheets of code is generally a bad idea. It's hard to read/understand and discouraging for others to participate.

There's an universal recommendation: prior to posting any code at all, briefly explain a task, then exact problem,
then (if you think you must) a problematic part of your code. Replace working parts (if they are required to explain context) by
comments. Everything should be placed under [ code=pascal ] tags.

Alternatively/additionally (if you sure you must) you can create a new project (not just a copy of your actual work), with a solely
purpose: to minimally demonstrate an issue. Then archive and attach here.
