[size=140]I had a few questions about this from new members so just to clarify things:

Links - Simply copy and paste the address to your post, then highlight it and click on the insert hyperlink icon (globe and paper image) and URL tags should appear either side of it. To name a link then type "[url=http://" then paste the link and add "]name of link[/url]" at the end.

Images - You can hotlink images from anywhere simply by pasting the address of the image into your post, highlight it and click on the insert image icon (little pic of Mona Lisa) and it will appear in your post.

You Tube Videos - All you have to do here is copy and paste the address bar from the videos page on You Tube and it will appear in your post. You don't need any tags and don't use the embed code as that won't work. Make sure the link is 'http:' and not 'https:' the "S" is for secured webpage and prevents embedding.[/size]

[size=140]Vimeo videos - Right click to copy the URL when you view them and then just past that into your post.[/size]
