Tips for adding youtube videos into the message forum:

1.  Go to youtube.com, find the video you want to add.
2.  To the immediate right of the video will be a box labeled "URL".  Right-click the code and copy it.
3.  In the box where you would normally type your message for the forum, type <a href="paste URL code here">type a name for your link</a>

EXAMPLE:

If I want Nickelback's "Far Away" video, I would need to put this on the forum:

Type<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4y-RzVGrHg">Click to watch</a>

Try it.

Tips for adding photos to the message forum:

1.  Go to photobucket.com and create a free account.
2.  Scan your old photos and upload them or simply upload your digital photos.
3.  Your photo will have many different codes from which to choose...what you need for our forum is the HTML code...not the IMG code.  Right-click and copy it.
4.  Paste the code into the box for your message on the forum.

NOTE:  You can also resize your photo on photobucket if necessary and you can add cool text effects and other graphics...all for free.


These tips also work for other video sites and glitter graphics sites such as:
