As you probably have seen, you can post images in ELLENnet Forum. Image attachments are limited to max 500*500 pix. Linked images (not stored at our server) are unrestricted. But please keep them small enough to fit the forum window! (If you do a mistake, edit your message)

Video
You can now also link video messages. You do not upload them to us. You publish your video on a video sharing site, such as Youtube and link it to our forum.

Mini instruction
If you want to inset a video clip from Youtube, here is what to do:

1. choose youtube from the video scroll box in the edit window


2. inset the video ID into the code between the tags


3. click on preview in order to see if it works


4. Submit

Where do I find the video ID?
"Grab the link" in Youtube.
It is a very long link. You should not use the entire link, just the ID. Towards the end you fins the src tag:

Code:

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YkC5wBpHk3w&hl=en"

In this case the ID is YkC5wBpHk3w&hl=en Just inset it into the pre made code that showed up when you used the video scroll box:

Code:

[video type=youtube][/video]

The completed code looks like this:

Code:

[video type=youtube]YkC5wBpHk3w&hl=en[/video]

And just to prove that it works I pasted the code below without the protecting code tags used above: (Boats arrive to Mariehamn west harbour, Åland, Finland) The full text is attached as a readme.txt file.
