Uploading Video

Coldplay Dad · 14-08-2012, 04:19 AM

Sorry if this has been asked a billion times already but can I upload a video directly from my computer? I've searched the forum for an answer but obviously am not good with the search feature.

I read somewhere (faq's?) that there should be a 'manage attachments' button below the reply box, but all I see is a 'Insert Image' button above the reply box and it requires a url.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think there's a way to directly put it onto the forums, but usually users just embed from YouTube...

(just copy and paste the link to the YouTube video in the text)

Thanks, I guess I'll create a you tube account as well. Look for them in the Aug. 11 St Paul thread if interested.

Video files are too big to upload directly to the forum. You would need an upload share file site. There's a couple for free like rapidshare. Just google video upload free share sites and it should tell you the maximum size to upload a video on their site and then just link the link to it here

Good luck
