    That isn't a dumb question! :)

    Copy the url of your video... click Post Reply, then click on the "Insert Link" icon (looks like a little globe with a chain link beneath it), paste the url, click ok...and submit.

    Hey, I am a computer dummy

    The only hacking I can do is on the golf course

    Thanks for the heads up!

    LOL

    I'm not very good at giving instructions (admittedly). But give it a shot, if you're still having issues with it, I will try better to explain... or perhaps someone can better articulate it for you.

    By the way, welcome to the forum, and good luck! ;)

    It's no problem...

    Sometimes, for whatever the reason, I have had a video that would only post that way as well.

    Find yourself another video (just for practice), and try again. Remember, you can click "Preview Post" to see if it works, without actually posting it.

    You must be sure to click the correct icon at the top of the posting page, again, it is the one that looks like a blue colored ball with a chain link beneath it. If you scroll over it, it will say "Insert Link".

    I know this was talked about in the first few pages of this thread, but I couldn't find a solution to my problem and I'm not reading through 30 pages to find it. Don't have the time or the patience.

    What I'm wondering is why I can't do any of the quizes yet. I have over 200 posts and over a 1,000 credits. Whats holding me back?

    I'm asking this question for someone who registered a few days ago under the name "Dawkinsrocks" but hasn't been able to access or post since then.

    I also tried to send this new poster a message, and, although the site recognized his name, it didn't let me send the message either.

    Could you please look into it?

    I can provide you with his private e-mail (in a private message) if necessary.

    Thank you

    All this stuff you see on message boards now is way too complicated and not really needed.....they try to cover ever possible angle on every possible thing...simplify, simplify....that is my suggestion.

    So it seems that post count has nothing to do with posting. This is my 15th post, and am unable to post ad nauseam without mod input. Oh well. I guess I'll keep posting till one shows up.....

    your first 10 posts are moderated, and sadly, we don't always get to them right away, depending on how many mods are able to volunteer their time at any given moment.
    Apologies for the delay.

    That test was a resounding "negative ghost rider".

    I have now 16 moderated posts that I can see in various threads now, except my posts are STILL moderated. Hmm....
