How do you add videos to your post when you don't have a YouTube account? Thanks

Hmm a good question. For youtube videos the code is [ youtube ] link [ /youtube ] so I'd assume you either type the same thing and put the link in there even if it is hosted on another site, or possibly type [ video ] link [ / video ] like you do on some other forums.

I checked the BB code rules and didn't see anything about adding videos.

The rules for how to link things and format forum posts can be found bottom left "BB code" it is a tiny link so look closely.

Or if you can't find it here:

Lot of other useful commands in there.

Ok, so what would I do if the video I want to share is not from any site? Its just a video that I took that on my computer, and its not linked to any website.

The easiest way is to make a YouTube account and upload it there. There aren't a lot of options otherwise.

Alright. Well, I don't really want a YouTube account so I guess I am just going to stick with pictures. Thanks Zapins!

I think that is you use gmail, you automatically have a youtube account.
