I'm a fan of google. If you have a google account you get google drive and then you can upload and make public videos and folders and then link them elsewhere. They have a photos service too I think, but I've always just used their drive and share option. Dropbox works too, but I'm pretty well invested in google so I just use that.

 

Best of luck!

To post a video here? Upload it to youtube, then just drop the url in, and the forum does the rest.

Automan,

 

Drop the url in where?

 

When I drop the url in on the picture icon, I get a message that this file extension is not supported.

Google sucks for posting images here. I imagine it'll be the same with video. They don't give you a proper URL for the image so you can't embed it here. In my mind Imgur.com is one of the better hosts out there, but realistically anything will work. Other members here had success using photobucket, but it's just been a headache any time I've wanted to use it and I'm not alone in that. I've used Facebook as well, but they have a nasty habit of changing their image urls every so often.

As far as posting videos goes, if it's a YouTube video (or if you upload it there, it's free), just copy the URL and paste it directly into the post box, no fancy stuff necessary.

This it?
 

 

If so, this is the format you need to use w/o the quotes. Just paste it in as text.

You don't have to put the url in a picture. Just copy and paste it into the post.

Be sure to have the little lightswitch in the "on" position in the top left corner of the text box.

Rob,

 

I think I have it set right. Please take a look at the bottom of post #2 in this thread:  http://comancheclub.com/topic/52550-86-diesel-mj-to-vw-tdi-conversion/

 

Let me know if you see the video in Don's post.

 

Thanks,
