Hey guys,

I use an android device. Can anyone give me a step by step tutorial on how to do the above?

Any help gratefully received.

P.

Your politicians screwed you over and you are suprised by this?

....and the glory of the world becomes less than it was....
'Have we not served you well'
'Of course - you know you have.'
'Then let it end.'

If there’s a way to embed a video into a post, I would love to know it. For now I use url tags, such as:

Code: Select all

[url=https://youtu.be/fb-f5eHIUco?si=5VkosiYhWadwZ9zC]America on Ventura Highway[/url]
to wind up with America on Ventura Highway for example.

:lol: The moment I see a line of incomprehensible letters and slashes and dots like that, I go all clammy and weak at the knees Menolly!

If you want to just post the link, without typing in the title, I believe you can just paste it into the post. I believe the board will automatically make it a hyperlink.

Otherwise, use the button at the top of the Reply or Quick Reply window; that will generate the url tags for you. Then, paste the link between the opening and closing tags. But, it will still show up as a url address link. You’ll have to identify what video it is separately.

OK - I'll give it a shot in due course.

If I'm successful, you may have cause to regret this help Menolly: the amount of rubbish content I watch in any given day is truly overwhelming!

Be prepared for a significant proportion to start appearing here! (Cadbury Cream Eggs deep fried in sausage meat, anyone? Watch this space!)
