Do you really need help with Forums 101? :eek: HINT: The answer to your question is in the icons along the top of the reply box. Get familiar with them.
To post (embed) videos 1. In the Reply box click the symbol for "Media" (it's 2 to the right of "Smilies") 2. Enter the normal YouTube/Metacafe etc. URL (not the old style long embedded code) 3. Click the word "Embed" To post pictures If the picture is on the internet (ie, Photobucket, etc.) and you have the URL: 1. In the Reply box click the symbol for "Add an Image" (it's 1 to the right of "Smilies") 2. Enter the URL and Click "Insert" If the picture is on your computer: 1. Click "Upload a File", scroll to your file, select it, click "Open" 2. You will now see a little thumbnail of your image below the Reply area 3. In that same area, below the word "Insert", either click "Thumbnail" or "Full Image" 4. The image will be placed in your Reply 5. If you chose "Thumbnail" then someone later reading your post only has to click it to bring up full size In all cases if you want to see what your post will look like before posting click "More Options" and then "Preview". .
