Hi I have posted a few photo's off my builds on this site and had some great comments. I,m not that computer savy but have noticed that some members have attatched a short video clip to their post or a link to youtube of their models how do you do this?. or is it something very complicated to do. I have a short video of my Abrams and bridge layer but have no idea how to attached or link it to the post.
regards Denzil

You can't directly attach a video to your post but you can upload the video to YouTube and post a link to it.

Okay thank you for the info I'll give it a try at the weekend when my son is free and can help if needed. the youtube bit looks resonably simple it will be how to attatch a link that might stump me.

inserting video is easy once you've uploaded it to you tube.

When you've uploaded your video at you tube copy the url from the address bar

Then option 1

click URL button above (this will appear above your post reply) then paste the URL.

This adds a website link to you tube video

Option 2

click the youtube button above (this will appear above your post reply) then paste the URL but this time delete everying thing from the URL from the begining up to and including v=. This will leave you a short code of numbers and letters.

This way adds the video actually in your post and looks better.

Ian.
