Hi all
I tried to post a video in the videos section demonstrating 5c collet attachment that I thought would be interesting.
Can I do this as an attachment from my pc or does it have to be a youtube link?
38 views and nobody wants to answer. This forum is not for me I think.

Bridie,
I was one of the 38 but didn't know the answer. I suspect others may be the same.
It looks like allowed file types are: doc, gif, jpg, mpg, pdf, png, txt, zip, pps, jpeg
If you can't create an mpg then I suspect that you need to upload your video to Youtube and then insert between {youtube][/youtube} (use all square brackets!)
Phil.

Like Phil I was one of your 38 readers but like Phil couldn’t answer your question so there seemed little point in replying!
I have only ever posted videos on this (and other) forums by using the means that you already have alluded to - the YouTube link.
Welcome to the forum, I’m sorry that you seem to think you’ve been ignored, this forum has many very helpful members and I would encourage you to stick around a bit longer before making judgments.

I use youtube also.

Thanks for your answers. I misread somewhere that posting Youtube stuff was like promoting yourself and not allowed. Obviously I got that completely wrong. I do have a Youtube engineering based channel so will it be ok to post from that?

Bridie,
After posting I found that I had posted an MP4 from my Google Drive as an attachment and it works.
To post a Youtube video use the button which looks like a play button and paste your YouTube link in the middle.

What IS banned is down right spam & advertising just promoting the selling of products or services and making no contribution to the forum discussion process.
Post away with your videos ! Fear not if the moderators feel that they are inappropriate they will be removed anyway :)
(PS where abouts in Bedford are you? I lived on Kimbolton Road for quite a few years)

Near Sharnbrook.

Sorry for the delay.
I have to look, but I think I have a minimum post count before posting links? or maybe that is PMs. Do that to cut down on spam. Let me check for you.

Youtube should work
Minimum 5 posts to send messages. try posting the link, if it fails, we will help.
