Hi all. I wanted to share a small (2.34M) video with you, but can't figure out how to. I have it saved to the web where I put my photos....but it won't connect to here.

Ideas?

Can you just post a regular link straight to the (I assume, .avi or .wma) file? (so people could click on it at their leisure)...As someone who runs other forums I think it's probably best...
Having the actual video file in your post (even if vBuilletin lets you do so), means that since quite a lot of folks especially abroad are on slow PPP or ISDN lines, their browsers would get wedged waiting for the file to load...
sorry if this isn't helpful. :(

Thanks for the answer....as I do apreciate the thought...but I was trying to post a link...not the file its self. I realized that it would just be too huge for some and wanted it as an option...but I can't get the link to be active. Any ideas on how to do that?

Thanks again!, ;)

Let's try it...

Very cool to see.
I have to admit I was waiting for the big "Oops.... Ow!... ack! Well, that's a lot of blood..."


Yeah...I get that thought sometimes..."Hmmmm...if this corner blows out...that awl is going in deep...."

lol

By the way. The way I got it to post was by making a shortcut to it on my desktop...then posting the shortcut here.

Thanks for the suggestions both here and in PM..
