Video Posting FAQ and Instructions

[ClayEnglish]

Welcome to what will probably be the future of our forums. Video Linking. Just as the Boaphile himself will soon demonstrate, now Video linking capabilities have been integrated into the Forums.

Simply click the Film Icon (Video) place the link to the video inside the new post and submit. The video will automatically be shown.

Video Forum guidelines.

Please put each new video in a new thread. This only helps us find and identify them easier. This way the videos are each titled on the forum thread page, and it will be easier to track comments on each video.

Use the NEW VIDEO (film clip icon) and NOT the URL feature. If you use the url feature you will only get a link to the video

Example (spaces are here to prevent the automatic conversion. Do not use spaces)

[ url =http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYC9a3J0LDc&feature=youtube_gdata_player]YouTube - Mystic Potion - ROCK STAR ball python - A must see clip! [/ url ]

[ video =youtube;YYC9a3J0LDc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYC9a3J0LDc [/ video]


Results are shown here. First is how it will look if you use the URL feature and the next one is if you use the Video feature


YouTube - Mystic Potion - ROCK STAR ball python - A must see clip!
