Posting images, videos and other media

[cas606]

I have read posts and articles which suggest using sites like Imgur.com to post image links on Bitcointalk.

However, I have seen posts where nice images, and embedded links, even videos, instead of just posting the links. Can someone share how I may do that too?

Thanks!

For the images part:

source of these images: post by Lauda: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0
Step 1: you have a problem, so it might be best to go the the Beginners & help subforum
Step 2: at the very top, you see a post labelled "Newbies - Read before posting"


Step 3: search this post (Ctrl-F in most browsers) for the text "I cannot post images"


Step 4: read this post
Step 5: read the rest of this thread, eventough it has nothing to do with why you cannot post images

For the second part of your question (embedding videos): could you post a link to an example thread?

Thanks for the post! I was wondering if there is a way I could post images as a Newbie.

Thiis is the example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2078686.0;topicseen 

But I realized its a snapshot of a video, instead of the embedded video itself. Apologies for the confusion.

Further, I realized scrolling down the page, there are embedded windows for codes. Mind sharing how I may do the same?

Thanks again!

the BBcode to insert code snipplets is (without the extra spaces)
If you have additional questions on how to do this, googling a BBcode reference might help you
[ c o d e ]
your code here
[ / c o d e ]

example

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
