I have videos of London Bridge, London Victoria and other Signalling Centres and I cannot work out how to post them or link them to the forum. I have uploaded one the videos to YouTube and want to know how to link it.

Above the Boardcode in a New Topic, are editing buttons amongst them are 2 Link ones, "Image link" & "Link". If you point at them, details show up in the yellow band. Just click and type in the address location of your files/videos. Play around with Preview. It will show you what will be presented. You can always cancel you post.

You can simply post the URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoktXA1VWHw

or hide it under a label using the "link" button Barry referred to.

You need to remember that the dialogue for the "link" button includes http:// by default. If you just copy and paste a link from (for example) your browser address bar you end up with a link pointing you to http.//http://xyz.com. You either need to paste the address from after the http:// or clear the link dialogue box before you paste.

The editing buttons also display if you go to "Reply" for an existing topic (but not "Quick Reply").
