Posting videos

I read the instructions how to add images but don't find anything about videos. The list of supported files in attachment section includes "mov" which is a video file but when I tried uploading it nothing happens. I don't get an error message but nothing is attached. The file is only 3 MB so it is way under the 10 MB limit. Please clarify if short videos are supported and which files to use. Thank you ! Manuel.

For videos I just right click on it, click on copy URL, go to the thread I'm posting in and right click on paste.

You are both talking about two different things. Oldcutlass is talking about posting a LINK to a video such as something hosted on youtube. The OP has a video FILE that he wants to upload.

Doctor is correct that .mov is supposedly a supported file. I've always avoided this problem by uploading whatever video I have to youtube and then posting a link to that video here as oldcutlass describes.

To upload videos from your device you have to click on go advanced below. Then use either upload image or the upload attachment tabs above. It will display it as a clickable link.

Earth (example) 2.2MB. You simply follow the instructions as you would for any image. The fact it's a video & not an image makes no difference - it's nothing more than a file.
Images will insert in-line, all other file types will attach to your post.

File Type: mov

I was able to right click and save both of those videos and play them from my desktop. They did not load in the browser, but that is ok.
