RE: Am I doing something wrong? YouTube related
No, but as mentioned, you may have seen a post where someone just embedded a still capture of a video frame, and linked it to the specific video on the web. This is what I tend to do just to highlight the fact that it is a video. An example above taken from one of my posts in the Pet Forums.
Did you read my posts?
Once again,
NOT a still capture of a video that is a link to the video.
It was a playable video IN the post.
Might have been posted before embedding was for some reason disabled.
As mentioned to you previously, this is custom written software.
Embedding videos has never been implemented. The question then becomes, did someone figure out a way to code it into a post. Your position should be easy to prove; provide a link to the post.

RE: Am I doing something wrong? YouTube related
I thought I had asked simple questions. Straight answers would be greatly appreciated? If some members have figured out how to embed videos, it would be very helpful to me to know about it and to see them.
Have you seen videos embedded in a post on this forum? If yes, would you point me to one of them?
Thanks,
Tom

RE: Backing up pictures
Another suggestion, take smaller pictures. Unless you area using them for commercial purposes, most much smaller pictures take up way less room, and are nearly indistinquisable from the larger ones. I keep my cameras set to a lot lower resolution and wind up with very nice pictures.
This is a great suggestion.
I have never regretted taking a shot at full resolution. I have regretted taking some reduce resolutions shots. The full resolution allows you more flexibility.

RE: Am I doing something wrong? YouTube related
Trying to embed a video in a post. Is it possible?
I see videos from photobucket embedded. Just can't figure out how to do a YouTube video. The embed link from YouTube doesn't work, and the forum doesn't seem to be set up to automatically convert a YouTube link to an embedded object.
By this sentence, do your mean your have seen videos embedded on this forum? If so, point me to a post and I will try to see how it was done. To my knowledge, the forum does not support embedded video, but someone may have figured out how to accomplish it.
Or does your second post mean that you have not seen an embedded video, only a picture from a video?

I've not seen an embedded video in a post. Point me to a post that has one, and I'll see how it was done.

RE: Posting Pictures Using TinyPic.Com For The Host Site
It would have been easier, probably, if you had use the tutorial for Photobucket.Com
Posting Pictures Using Photobucket.com For The Host Site
You may still want to read it, especially the part about sizing pictures. I reduced your picture to the forum's recommended maximum width of 640 pixels.

RE: DirecTV staffed by MORONS!
Over on the Direct TV forum, they think many posters on the RV.net forum are morons!!!
A search of their forum for 'RV.Net' produces

Of course, that doesn't mean that you are wrong; it could only be an indication of the quality of their work.

RE: E machines laptop at Walmart
I'm not sure that the companies that produce the the emachines and netbooks don't picture the profit situation the same way. These machines are cannibalizing their higher end machines and profit margins are slipping to such a point that customer service and research and development have to suffer. Perhaps that is why Apple, who is not in the low-end market, gets such high ratings on customer service and why new ideas seem to come from them.

RE: Which GPS
What are you going to be using it for? If you want a unit to use while towing a fifth wheel, consider the 465T. It has features that no other Garmin comes with. You can set your highth, width, weight, etc. and it will try to keep you safe. It includes Blutooth and traffic warnings. It has a car mode and a true truck/RV mode. All of the others just give preference to truck routes when in truck mode.
Go here for more info.One guy complained here that the 465T would keep RV's off smaller roads (i.e., campground access roads) when in truck mode. In car mode, it won't help with truck features.
I've not use the 465T, but I believe it will route an RV (or a Truck) on a campground access road, when in truck mode. That is, I've not seen a Gamin GPS that would just say, "I can't get you there," when the 'there' exists.

RE: Why does the forum do this?
I'm still on a loaner PC that's really crippled, otherwise I could cut n' paste the actual picture post window (maybe Tom can).
There is no correction that can be done by the viewer if the poster has posted something as large as the example above.
Only the OP or mods have access to fix. All the reader can do it click "Notify Moderator" to get their attention.
If you are talking about the Image tool, here it is.
http://i37.tinypic.com/a6175.jpg
There are tutorials for all of the message window's tools in the stickies at the top of this forum. There are also tutorials on how to post pictures in the stickies. But I think that there will always be those who will post pictures that are too large.
(Even the technique I use, "click to enlarge" is covered in those stickies.

RE: # of Posts
If you have made "numerous" posts recently, then there is a problem. The database shows that this is your first post in 2 weeks, and you've had no posts deleted in that time frame.
When you use View Posts link in the menu under your name to the left of a post, or use the My Post link on your My Forums page, you will see only the posts for the current 12-month database. When a post becomes a year old, it is moved from the 12-month database to the archives. Those posts can be found using the search engine. Here is a link to your archived posts
If you view your profile, you can see a count of all of your posts, not including any that may have been deleted.

RE: US Dollars--take note:
Pulsar, I'll have to refigure that number 235.2, as that will be for the 'little' US gallon. I was so pleased to tell my know it all Brother in Law today as he always talks about fuel consumption in that silly way as he knows I never do. He then told me that it didn't work out & it must be the US gallon.
Now , where's me slide rule? ;)
The number to use for imperial gallons is 282.48

RE: Why does the forum do this?
Additional notes:
I enlarged Jeff's picture to its original size.
When using size parameters, use only one. The display engine will only use the first one it sees, the other one will automatically be adjusted to keep the picture in proportion. On the forum, the width is usually more important to keep from breaking the side margins. If one doesn't leave the height parameter blank, the width parameter will not be used.
Since Jeff's original picture is not square, if the display engine use both of his size parameters - height=1200 width=1200 - the picture would have been distorted.

RE: Why does the forum do this?
Here is the proper way to display a big picture, if it necessary to do so. I will use SCVJeff's picture in the example.
Click on picture to enlarge. Use your browser's back button to return to this page.
http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r192/SCVJeff/DSCN2222.jpg width=640
Here is the code
[url=http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r192/SCVJeff/DSCN2222.jpg][img]http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r192/SCVJeff/DSCN2222.jpg width=640[/img][/url]
Caution: Copying or quoting this post will change the code so that the picture will be displayed in its place.

I see you have deleted your question and changed your picture URL to a site that apparently is not forum friendly. In case you weren't pulling our leg, the answer to your question is, don't use an animated gif.

Hard to tell what you are testing. The topic was "Pic test," but I see no attempt at a picture. Could it be you wanted to see if you had a signature?

RE: US Drug Problem
Come on, pulsar. stanbnv misspelled a word that most people have no idea that it even exists. Speling is such a drug...er...drag.
I think in my entire time on the forum, I have corrected two spelling; both for the same reason. As you said, most people probably don't know the meaning of the word. I thought the correct spelling would be of benefit to anyone who wanted to look it up.
