even as a higher rank you can not add videos, and this forum doesn't have the "flash tags" (possibly disabled due to security reasons).
the best thing you can do is to take a screenshot from the youtube video while playing and post that in a [img] tag. something like this:
[url=link_to_youtube_video][img]link_to_screenshot[/ img][/url]
I don't think I can even post images yet.
Totally understand the not having the flash tags for security purpose but they are there in the icon bar next to the img tag button.
Anyone got a link to find out when these features become available? ie rankings?
Thanks!
Images are available upon ranking up to Jr. Member.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0Due to abuse, newbie-posted embedded images are now disabled on these pages:
- Topic display
- Recent posts / patrol
- Previews
They're not currently hidden in PMs or on some other pages (like a user's "show posts" page), though I might change that later if it seems necessary.
Disabled images get transformed into links automatically. When the poster becomes a Jr member, the images that he tried to post previously will automatically be re-enabled (though there might be a few minutes of delay).
This extends to all past posts as well as future ones.
