Video Issues.
« on: July 29, 2014, 06:29:06 am »
I can usually navigate the forum very well on my own, but I've an issue with it now.

I'm trying to set up a video for my character, Lumaia's, biography. It's her themesong, and it's quite vital to the bio. I've done it before, but I can't recall how to insert videos into a post. Not the link, but the actual photo. Looking back into my previous posts with videos in them has proved unhelpful, as I have tried what I apparently did in the old post in the biography, but to no avail.

I've tried direct linking, clicking "Embed" on the YouTube video's page and posting that link in here, and the [ url= ] link [ /url].

Any suggestions? Is something not right, or are my video-posting theories incorrect?

Code: [Select]
[url] -enter url here- [/url]
Just put the video url in the url codes, and a redirect link will lead users to the video or use the embed code, not sure if it works but ouo

What I do is merely post the link. No additional codin'. Merely copy/paste the link. Though if the link shows up startin' with https://, I delete the "s" in order for the video to show properly.
Not guaranteein' that it'll work but this is what I normally do when I wish to post a YouTube video here.
