    No, this forum is just troublesome. Try a different picture, might just be a problem with the file. Or the type of file - is it jpeg?

    Not sure about your avatar troubles, but here's a compilation of a few posts I made much earlier re: posting pics in posts:

    Hi, just to add something to "Clickable Links", if you add 'target="_blank"' in the html link code it'll open a new window, instead of taking over your beloved cleeseblog window! (At least, it works that way in Internet Explorer!) There are keyboard shortcuts to do the same thing, but most of us have had our (mostly) left hand atrophy long ago, so we can only work with our mouse.

    Thus: (clickable to a new browser window)
    Tempesta Tormenta
    Would be formatted as:



    that is, Type target="_blank" href=" before the URL and ">TEXT after.

    I posted a YouTube here just fine. I thought it was going to be all hot and bothersome, but I didn't have to do anything (update) once you use the right coding. Check this for samples that you can cut 'n paste: Embedded link samples

    Your browser makes a difference too - I just updated my Internet Explorer to 8.0 and it doesn't do anything anymore - I can't even type a Haiku on 3 lines, it just puts them all together. No buttons at the bottom of the "Enter your comments" box - I used to have 2 on IE 7 and all three on my Mac Safari. Now I have not had time to go on my Mac, but this new IE 8 is awful for this particular blog! :fierce:

    Paute--

    Open two browser windows, and open the Cleese forum in both of them. In one, display the instructions on page one of this thread. In the other, input your picture info. Then you can check what you've typed against the instructions. Or you can just cut and paste. I've done that with some of the harder things (marquee, etc.), and it worked great.

    Because the text appears all together? If when I write i try to do full stop. In addition to being stupid, what am I doing wrong?

    Hi, Paute - I have this same problem - I feel stupid, but I don't think it's us! When my computer was upgraded to IE 8 I lost the ability to show short lines and line breaks - no matter what it looks like to me, when I click "add your comments" the lines all smush together into one paragraph. When I use my Mac, I can do all the things I USED to be able to do, like write a haiku on three lines instead of one, and leave pregnant pauses... I do not have the patience to switch computers every time I post here, so I put up with it - if anyone knows what settings can be messed with in IE 8 to allow for more control of the look and feel of this posting - please let me know!

    Yes, IE is awful.
    I don't like Firefox, but that's a personal problem of mine with that program. Safari is fine, but I prefer Opera. This one's really good, I can tell you.

    I like Firefox, but if I had to chose something else I'd go with google Chrome, as much as the whole google-taking-over-the-world thing is worrisome.

    WOW! I <3 Google Chrome!

    I can start new lines whenever I want!

    I can click on any of the three buttons below that IE8 hid from me - It was trying to protect me - but I want to LIVE fast, Die young (already kinda late) and leave a good looking corpse... oh well - one out of three won't be too bad!

    This is me, living fast with Google Chrome! Thanks for the suggestion - Possum! You are brilliant as always! :cheer:

    Microsoft took over the world, and pure free enterprise busted that monopoly. I'm a Google Chromer now, too, as of about 6 months ago. If it gets too big, somebody else'll come along to take 'em on.

    • CommentAuthorlynthingy

    Raf, please go to the first message in this thread and the directions for adding in pictures, videos and text effects are all there! The geniuses who figured it out are way beyond my capabilities, but I can copy and paste with the best of them! :thumbup:

    Lyn, I'm with Raf on this one. The instructions are great for posting a link to a movie, but I'd like to have a picture in the post that can be played, like YouTube does it.

    Anyone know how to embed a YouTube movie, and not just a text link to one?

    • CommentTimeSep 24th 2010 edited
     
    I figured it out - Start at YouTube, play the video you're interested in, and then scan down and find the "Embed" button and hit it. A box will fill full of HTML gibberish, highlighted, and Copy it. Then, post it here, and click the mysterious center radio-button, and post it. Voila! Example to follow.

    The above gibberish is what the Embedded button that YouTube generated for the "Sit on My Face" video, displayed as Text.
  39.  
    For me, if I click Html and just use the regular link embedding syntax, it does it automatically.

    It works Possum's way on my Google Chrome browser, but IE 8 is very uncooperative and I finally just gave up on it.

    I was tempted to throw the laptop machine out the window, Cad fashion, until Cass saved the day with his Google Chrome suggestion!

    *cough*

    that, umm, again... was my suggestion... actually.. I think... .

    Methinks I've never have made the suggestion to switch to Chrome, but several times I've mentioned that I use it, without any problemos. A fine product.
    • CommentAuthormrsthing
    • CommentTimeSep 25th 2010
     
    IE is a piece of shit!

    I use Firefox, and yeah--I just post the video with the appropriate incantations before and after, stick in a title, and select the Html button. Works great.

    I don't think I understand what you're talking about, Wm.
