I'm still figuring out how to use the backend here and regularly getting my ass kicked embedding. Finding people explaining how to do it different ways all over but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Operator error is likely a factor. Just a thought and thanks for considering. And thanks for moderating this place yo!

Here's an aging brief I made on the subject.

Option 1

1 - Hit the Mona Lisa icon.

2- Say hello to the img brackets (the spaces within are only there right now so we can view them for instruction purposes).

[ img ]  [ /img]

3- Place the url of the image in between those. (Use a hosting site such as imgur if you are wanting to share an image not available on the internet)

[img ]http://www.example.com/bammudgera[/img]

4- Hit preview and check your work.



5- Post.



Option 2

1- Reconsider option 1.

2- Use the "Attach:" tool. I have never used it in my life and cannot speak on it nor troubleshoot. May god have mercy on you, young Slapper.

As far as embedding YT videos, post the link directly into the text box and delete everything after the question mark or ampersand.

For example:
