How can links to short video clips...

[theodore37]

for example, movie trailers, or a scene from a movie or tv show be created and posted on the boards?

Thank you

theodore37 , in the full editor window for posts click on the insert video button and insert the URL. The insert video dialog box lists the supported video sites and formats.

How can I posts images of celebrities or movie posters, even, non-still images, such as movie trailers, or a scene from a movie or tv show and have them posted on the boards?



Thank you

[Brian]

The button can be used to insert images into a post if you have an image from an existing online source you'd like to post.

You can also attach an image directly to a post via the Add Attachment button on the top right of the posting page. Keep in mind that the forum has limited attachment space as noted in Settings > Manage Attachments.

Thank you, Brian.   I will be testing myself out soon,

Hello, I just tried doing that several times.  I copied pasted the url, clicked on the insert video button, all I got was a dark grey box, with "your video will appear here".    Do you know what I may be doing wrong?  Thanks.

theodore37, did you then proceed with making the post or did you cancel it? You will see that placeholder box when first inserting the link, but once the post is made, the video should appear. Let us know if this is not the case for you.
