The 'how to" thread

[JohnnyDollar]

This is probably not the right place to post this. But I can't find the right place.

So I'd like ot know how to post youtube and facebook videos, so that the video shows up on the page, and not just the link.

Also, how do you tag someone in a thread?

I can’t help with FB videos but, I use my free subscription to YouTube to view and copy the link. If I don’t use my sub. the link has to be clicked by anyone wanting to view it. Not sure what you mean by “tag?”

This is probably not the right place to post this. 1) But I can't find the right place.

2) So I'd like ot know how to post youtube and facebook videos, so that the video shows up on the page, and not just the link.

1) Under non-political forums you will find a self help and advice sub-forum.

2) Using the film icon (present in the upper control bar when you are forming a post/reply) you can paste the link of a video. You may have to change the ".m" to ".www" in that link to have it behave correctly (that is an Apple thing).

3) I have no idea what you are talking about.

I don't do FB but with youtube, just c & p the link to your response box, highlight it and then click the little blue box above the response box...next to the last on the right...video box will come up...paste your video link into it and click ok and click reply button...

To tag someone, just quote them and they'll get a notification...

Thanks for that, and the other replies.

As far as tagging goes, on other forums, you'd just use the @ symbol, then their name, and it would tag them. They'd get notified without having to quote them.

I don't think I need to spam the forum with a new thread, so I'll ask here, in an already existing "how to" thread:

How do I get rid of the "Lean:" field in my profile/avatar section. I've noticed some users don't have it and I don't identify with any of the selections so, I'd rather not even show it.

Thanks!

click user control panel (top right, one short of "log out")
got to "my setting" (left)
click "edit my profile" (just below that)
on the right scroll down to "political lean" (last one on the bottom)
choose "private" or "other"

Save

edit: I see you've meanwhile figured it out by yourself

Thanks. That's exactly what I did and you can see the result. Same as yours. What I'm trying to do is remove the "Lean:" line altogether - like I've seen some (not many) users have done.

I appreciate your response.

I'm over-challenged on that one. Same as on wanting to change my status from "sage" to "parsley".:lol:
