Inserting videos and pictures.

[SocketRocket]

Can someone please explain to me how you insert a video from say YouTube so it shows directly on screen, rather than as a URL link.

I am also unclear on how to upload an image from my computer. I can do it using the system uploader but it always comes in as a thumbprint.

Thanks in anticipation.

To post a video directly then just click on the insert video button its on the right side of the image button, then paste in your youtube link and thats it.

The photo method that i know of is as you are obviously doing it and comes as a thumbnail which anyone who wishes to see the pic clicks to enlarge, the other method of posting a photo is to use photobucket or similar.

http://beta.photobucket.com/ register an account and then upload the photos there and then once uploaded insert the link into the box From URL as opposed to From Computer, then they will show large on the screen

Thanks Phil. So is there no way to directly insert a Youtube video full size?

Yes I explained above.
