Adding a video to a discussion thread

Posted by David L. on October 22, 2011 at 8:35am in Using cigarboxnationcom - posting, profiles, web

Hi,

 

It has been a while since I added a video but previously if I recall it was similar to adding a picture and the media button asked for the location on my computer and did the rest.  When I try it now it asks for an embedded code - how do I now add a video please or do I have to do it via youtube?

 

Thank you

David

    Hi,

    Thank you for the replies John and Dan.  If I load it to my page does it always appear on the video section? As sometimes it is in response to a specific question and not containing any artistic merit and because of this I would prefer to post it without it pushing out someone else's more worthy contributions.

    Regards,

    David

    HI David, Upload the video your personal page here on the Nation first. Then when it is uploaded there is a button for you to get the embed code. Then you can paste that into a post.

    I get the same one option of adding the embedding code (is it an option if you only get one?). Having said that, Ning's video server is really really slow (to the point of inactive part of today), so if you can embed from YT it will probably load faster and play faster.
