Post by Max-U52 »

Is this the right place to post a video of an RC show? Hope so.

:D Thanks for the virtual tour, Gary.. It was almost like having a day out. I saw Erik lurking there, looking immersed in Taigen promotion. Most impressive, though, is if your camera has image stabilisation enabled, it's really excellent. If not, allow me to congratulate you on your steady hands old chap ;) ! ...especially with all those wonderful distractions. :thumbup:

Hi, Maxmekker
1. ensure that 'full web address' is enabled in your browser for the url/web address bar
2. When you click 'post reply'(except in quick reply menu mode)..a toolbar appears
3. Click- 'Video' at the end of that toolbar.
4. two virtual cursors appear..'Video..Video' in square brackets.
5. Copy the full link from the desired web address, and paste it between the two 'Video' markers.
6. Click 'Submit'. Job done... Hopefully!

Roy, my old video for how to do that isn't much good any more since they improved the system and you no longer have to delete part of the address. Think I should do another video for how it is now?

BTW, I like the way it works now much better. Much easier to use.

Yep..I scratched my head for a moment, before I figured out you now need the full URL/Web address. I agree too that it's a simpler procedure now. Pity about your earlier vids though..Gary, Is there no way of retrofitting them to the new system? :think: That reminds me, I keep meaning to create my own Youtube account ...

I'm not sure what you mean about my earlier videos, Roy. What would I need to retrofit? I checked a couple old ones and they still play OK, so I'm confused, Pardner. :)

A youtube channel can come in very handy, and is pretty easy to set up. If I could do it ...

I'm confused too, Gary :haha: I was mistook 'video' for videos', and assumed- like a complete airhead- that you were referring to your back catalogue of older U52 productions, instead of your helpful vid on how to post. Totally dumb.
Don't worry, the old neurones are firing correctly again... :crazy: see? Did anyone announce the changes in the Youtube/ video posting method, by the way? If they did, then I missed that too. Been a bit distracted lately by events. By the way, what are you planning to do with the Pz111 metal Taigen you came away with. Is it gonna play a starring role in the future? There was a time when I fancied the Asiatam PzIV metal chassis for a project, but then when i got round to looking, they were long gone from the virtual shelves. Schade und verdammt noch mal! :'(
Yeah, I'm going to look into creating a Youtube Channel right now..and don't be so modest about your own abilities. Hmmm., but not even you can make an undersized Flak battery look bigger :haha:

I discovered the change in the YT posting method a while back, didn't see any announcement about it but figured it out. It's actually easier now, just swipe the YT url, copy, click in the post, and paste. Swipe it again in the post, and click on Videos. Job done.

I always click on Preview just to be sure that I haven't messed it up. :thumbup:
