How to post -VIDEOS,PICS,QUOTES, etc - EASY STEPS!
Life just got a little easier around here.
With the software update, you don't have to make those stupid brackets to embed the youtube and vimeo videos anymore.
I'm trying to learn the new features one day at a time. As I better understand each feature I'll try to write a little tutorial. If anyone gets to it before me and wants to write their own...feel free, I would be much obliged.
When you post here, there are a series of new icons with this version on the 2nd line of your word processing menu.
Here are some of the coolest ones:
If you've ever become annoyed with the posting utilities in the old version, these will make your life a lot easier.
Anyone who is having trouble, please use this thread to post your questions, and I'll try to walk ya's through it as needed.
Eventually I'll merge this thread back into the "S&A Helpful hints" thread to keep things in one place. Good luck and have fun!
1. When you're posting and want to add a link such as a video, etc, just click "reply to thread".
2. Find a video you like by opening another browser window to the internet.
3. Right click on the mouse to "copy" the URL. (You have to copy the whole thing)
4. Go to your post, double clicking on the "video" icon.
5. You may see a processing icon, but you should quickly after that see a window open prompting you to insert the video.
6. Simply follow the instructions by right clicking your mouse again. Hover it over the area where you want to drop the video. Right clicking will give you the options, choose "paste".
7. Follow the prompts to close the box, hit "post" and yer done!
If anyone has any problems, post that as well and I'll try to guide ya's.
Also check out the icons in that same line where the video icon is.
You can allegedly post e-mail, HTML, and other links.
Please be respectful when posting links, and realize that I reserve the right to edit any links I don't feel are appropriate for this site. Thanks, people!
