How to Embed a Video / Image Into Your Forum Post

[tron777]

As Aaron mentioned in the forum update thread, Videos can now be added into posts. If you click on the The Full Editor button, instead of doing a Quick Reply, the button looks like a computer that you can click on to do this. Or you can use the BBcode [media][/media] This includes YouTube and a whole lot of other things.

What I did to post DT's This Week in Weather video, I just copied and pasted the actual web address for the You Tube video, and the video automatically embedded itself within the post itself. What I don't know is, how many other types of videos will automatically do that? Aaron maybe able to answer that question better then I can.

If the video you are trying to post is coming from a difference source (other then You Tube) and if putting in the website address, doesn't automatically embed the video into the forum post, try using the media tag.

Example: [media]http://myvideo.com[/media]

Something to that affect. If there are any questions, please let us know. For mobile devices, since the Metro theme we are using is compatible with mobile devices, PC's, and tablets, the process should be the same across most platforms. I'm sure Aaron will have something to add to this thread.

For an image... click on the Full Editor and Preview button then scroll down. You'll see an attachments tab where you can quickly upload the image that you want to include with your post. Click Add File to upload it. Once the image has been uploaded then click on the Place Inline button. Submit your post and that's it! :grin:
