Again for you veterans, no big deal, for those new to the forum (like me) it took a little trial and error.
Here is what I have figured out so far on how to post a; Site, Video, or Image.
1 - Whatever you want to post has to reside on the web somewhere, that means it needs an http:// address, where and how it is hosted is up to you.
2 - Once you locate the Site, Video or Image that you want to post you do the following:
Step 1: Copying the http:// Address or URL
- Site: Copy the URL in the address bar at the top of your browser.
- Video: Either find something that says Share or Share Video, click on the URL that pops up and Copy, or right click on the image of the video, go to properties and copy the URL.
- Image: Right click on the image, go to properties and copy the URL.
Step 2: Pasting the URL that you copied into your post or thread
- Click on New Thread or Post Reply
- In the dialog box that pops up, right-click and select paste. it should look something like this: (http://thisisanexample.com)
Step 3: Making the site, video or image you posted visible and useable:
*NOTE: I am leaving spaces between the brackets [ ] and the letters url or img, this is being done so that you can see what it looks like, when you actually do it, DO NOT leave spaces.
- For Sites and Video you put this at the beginning [ url ] and this at the end [ /url ], for example [ url ]http://thisisanexample.com[ /url ].
- For Images, same deal, just replace url with img
That should do it, post lots of pics and video :thumbup:.
Here is a sample You Tube Video using the method described above, enjoy:
