Can anyone tell me how to post videos here?

[Robot Man]

I would like to post a few videos I shot on my phone. I uploaded them into Photophucket and tried to post them as IMGs as I would a regular photo. It turned into a link to my Photophucket page which I'd rather not do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I didn't know photobucket allowed videos... if they do, there should be an "embed" option in there somewhere. That will give you a link that you can cut and paste which will probably contain the word "iframe". Just paste that into a post. When you make the post, click the option that says something like "using UBBcode and HTML".

 

Okay, I just checked it out, and the option is called "embed" in photobucket, and it doesn't say iframe in it. But the rest is the same. (Also, when posting, make sure you choose to switch to full reply, not the quick reply).

Many thanks, I will give it a try!

Sorry, it looks like the option is called "html" in photobucket, not embed.

Why not uploading them on YouTube with the "unlisted" option?

This way they will remain more or less private unless one has the URL, and you can easily post them here.

I don't use photo but on imgur you have a BBCODE embed option. The default at least in my message board reply/posting "Markup" option is "using HTML if its tagged as "iframe."

 

Robot Man look right below your full reply box and tell us what your markup box says without you clicking on the arrows. And also do you have a BBCode or Linked BBCode or HTML option in Photobucket?
