How to post images, replays and youtube videos on forums
This will be a step by step tutorial showing you how to post images, replays and youtube videos on the forums. This may sound simple but recently we've been getting alot of support issues on this, so I decided to make a FAQ on it.
There was a FAQ on this, but this is a slightly updated version, covering the Youtube videos section.
Youtube Videos
Have you ever wanted to share you youtube video on the forums but could not get a preview and had to post the link? Well, it's very simple on how you do it. You need;
Youtube tags code:
1.)In between the youtube tags, you need to place your youtube link. But note that if you place the whole link, it won't work. You only have to place the last bit.
For example:
If we were to post this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rulyBM_R22o
We only need the last bit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rulyBM_R22o
So, this is how it basically comes out.
Images
Now, we all now how to attach image files, but they don't really look large and attractive do they? You're looking for image displays like they do in clan pages right? Well, it's quite simple actually. Use an image hosting website such as
www.imgur.com to upload the desired image.
1.) Go to
www.imgur.com (you can use similar image hosting site).
2.) Drag your image (one you want to upload, multiple possible) and click on upload. On uploading you should see something similar to this:
3.) Now, you will want to copy the link entitled,
BBCode (message boards & forums)
4.) Paste it, in our case it will be:
image code:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5DliVp0.png[/IMG]
Result:
Simple, right?
Replays
Lastly, I'll be covering the replays part. If you've made a good replay and would love to share it with you friends on the forums, you simple have to upload it.
1.) Firstly, you will need to click
"Go Advanced" below the quick reply option. You will see the
Attachment options if you scroll down a bit.
2.) It's very simple from now onward. Click on
"Manage Attachments" and you'll see a row of upload options like this:
4.) Now, Click on choose file.
Replay Directory code:
C:\Games\Toribash 4.8\Replays
5.) Click on "
upload".
And after the
.rpl file has been uploaded, you can click
"Close this window" to see your file attached to the post itself. Click on post thread and you're done!
