Bob or anyone...Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I keep on getting the message - Warning - can not post - badly nestled or incorrect tags...after selecting preview.

I just tried again to copy the html one and then pasted it in the message. Before hitting preview I went to post your message and the video appeared and played but it of course did not post to the forum.

Totally perplexed and frustrated....

Hi Carol

If you are using Photobucket,click on the thumbnail image of your video:




You will find a page like the one below. WAIT FOR THE VIDEO TO PLAY,then Click on "Copy to Clipboard." Lastly,Paste that HTML code in your message.



See if that helps.

FYI,

I just added this thread to the forum FAQ page. Look under the heading:

"Posting a picture"

Then:

"How do I post a Photobucket video?"

A suggestion

You will rapidly fill-up your free Photobucket account by posting large sized video files. I suggest you keep your videos to 20 seconds or less.

If you want to post the link so people go to YouTube to watch, you simply copy the link from YouTube and paste it here.

Go to YouTube and click on your video as if to watch it - below the video you will see - more share options - just below the word FLAG - click on more share options and it will give you the link to your video. It will look like this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0-t4YXtC0g - copy and paste it in your post

You can post any video from YouTube by doing the above
