Posting a tractor video

What am I over looking? Photos easy to post but how about a short video?

Looks to be the same process. Only, rather than selecting a photo to post, select a short video instead.

I don't know what the limit is on filesize, but when posting, it asks to limit video filesize to 2MB. Normally I just post a link and mention what the link is about.

grayrider,
The last I remember reading, the permitted file size was very small...
so not sure if it ever became a fully usable function here.

Seems like most folks post their vids to youtube,
then post a clickable link here by copying/pasting the URL
of the youtube video in the Optional Link URL box on YT...
Then naming said link, by typing a title into the Link Title box.

Some also know how to embed video in their posts - but I am clueless how to do that.

Same here!

I just put my videos on youtube, and just put the link to it in the post, to me its easier

Videos take up band width, so most message boards don't allow a direct video up load, some message boards don't allow you to embed a video. Depends on who runs the message board as to what they allow.

The YT forums are able to receive and show videos a couple of different ways.

One method is to copy the video web location and paste the location in the [b:654c4848f0]Optional Link URL:[/b:654c4848f0] dialog box provided below the [b:654c4848f0]Message:[/b:654c4848f0] box.

The [b:654c4848f0]Link:[/b:654c4848f0] will appear at the bottom of the page under your post.

Another method is to copy the video web location and paste the location between the quotation marks in the HTML code shown below.

This is the method I prefer because <a href="https://youtu.be/PlcFC8Di37s">the video link can be placed anywhere within the body of the message</a>.

You can use the <a href="http://www.yesterdaystractors.com/dbtest/wwwboard1.html">[b:654c4848f0]Test Forum[/b:654c4848f0]</a> on this web site to practice creating these video links.

Hope this helps.

This method is used to embed a video in a YT forum message.

Locate the video to be embedded on YouTube, then click the [b:654c4848f0]SHARE[/b:654c4848f0] icon below the screen.

After the options box opens, click the first [b:654c4848f0]Embed[/b:654c4848f0] icon.

The Embed Video option box opens.

Select all of the HTML code, then click the [b:654c4848f0]COPY[/b:654c4848f0] button.

Switch back to the YT forum Message: box.

[b:654c4848f0]PASTE[/b:654c4848f0] the HTML code in the Message box.

Click the [b:654c4848f0]Preview Message[/b:654c4848f0] button to the Topic Preview page.

Hope this helps.
