Suggestion "How to...." page

[geokr]

I seem to recall that there is a page that explains how to embed images, videos, etc. in your posts but I've looked all over and haven't been able to find it nor did it come up in a search. I might be confusing it with another board but don't think so. If there is a page it would be helpful if you make its whereabouts more obvious by putting a link in one of the pull down menus or as a sticky. If you don't have one it would be helpful to create one. If there is one and I just don't have the vis to see it please reply with the URL so I can bookmark it. Thanks!

Take a read here. All your questions should be answered here. If not, ask away.

ScubaSteve's link is a good general tutorial for the beginning poster. (See also the SB FAQ page Attachments and Images.)

This is it! This is the page I saw previously. Thanks again and it is now nailed to my Favorites. Still think it would be a good idea to have an "official" page that gives all the details on embedding.

You can also find a post that did something you like, right-click, view source, ctrl-F brings up 'find' then enter some text from the post that is just before what you want to see. Almost all the basic HTML commands seem to work here, copy and paste goes a long way...


-thanks bleeb, was looking for the markups

Thanks to you, bleeb - these are helpful, too, and they're bookmarked as well.

Yep - Thanks!

Agreed. The FAQs seemed a bit bare-bones (understandably), and something more tutorial like would be nice, since questions like this seems to come up at least every month or so. It took me a while to find (re-find) the list of embedding codes and in the end, I kind of stumbled back over it. A tutorial might also make it easier to find.

Anyone here feel like drafting something? :blinking: I suspect some overworked admin could then put it to good use.

Here is a better copy. I have posted it on its own and added I believe all pertaining to YouTube and Photos.
