Idiots guide to Posting Media on a Forum and other How to's
Alright, I've been meaning to post this for a while and keep forgetting.
A lot of people aren't as web savvy as some of us. I get that. Well still if you don't know how to post a Video or Link
I'm gonna try to help you.
First off. If you are on your phone in Mobile mode (blue skin to the forum) CHANGE IT NOW. It's worthless and limits so much you can do.
Scroll to the very bottom of the page. find the FULL SITE link and click it. You are welcome.
Next.... I have a photo on my computer or phone I took. I want to share it with all of you....
Go to https://postimg.cc/
Upload your pic. You don't need to create an account. Just upload it.
Click the blue share button for the drop down menu of options. Click direct link
Copy the link that includes the .jpg or other file type at the end https://s13.postimg.org/bwcp3w9uv/si...mushrooms2.jpg
In your message click the picture frame (to the right of the red X but before the movie clip)
a menu will pop open. Make sure you select "From URL" and then uncheck the box below it about retrieve remote file
Click Ok
Tada. Dinner is served
Next how to insert a YOUTUBE video
Go to your video on youtube. If on your phone and you see something looking like this (usually from youtube in a mobile browser)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=...&v=sf6LD2B_kDQ
NOTICE THE M.youtube = mobile. This WILL NOT WORK on the forum
Your best bet is manually edit the URL. ALL YOU HAVE to do is remove the M. Leaving youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=sf6LD2B_kDQ
Your URL will not embed.
IF you see something like https://youtu.be/sf6LD2B_kDQ
THIS WILL NOT WORK. This is a shortcut. Open this up in any browser and you will get the full url OR the Mobile url which I just showed you how to fix.
NOW that you have the working URL. We want to Embed the video, so it plays within the thread and people dont have to click to go to youtube to see what you posted.
As mentioned above. Click the movie icon next to the picture icon on the menu bar.
What else would you like to do.
How about changing a title after you post it because you misspell something.
Click Edit Post. Go advanced. Correct your title.
If anyone has any other questions. I'm always a PM away...
