    I've searched the forums, and have tried on my own, to post a video and a picture with no luck. I apologize for the duplication, but could someone please explain the process for me? Or do I have to be a forum supporter in order to do this?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

    You need to either use a photo hosting site like Flickr, or become a forum supporters. With Flickr you can put your photos up and then copy a link to put into your posts here which will make your pic or vid appear in the post.

    If you're a forum supporter you can upload pics directly to posts, but they need to be 1000 pixels wide or less. You might need a photo resizing app for that if you upload pics and the forum tells you it can't do it.

    Hope that helps a bit!! :)

    Copying photos from Facebook to here is very easy, without being a supporter. You just have to make sure you set the privacy setting for that photo on fb to public.

    So one other question please...do I copy the URL address into the "tag" box or into the text box? I popped it into the text box, but you have to click the link to open it, rather than the picture already being open to see. Thanks.

    @Jazzmynn when you click on the share button (bottom right of your uploaded flikr photo) you have a few options. In the screen shot below, I have clicked on the "bbcode" and then copied the highlighted code and pasted into the body of your your message.

    Your photo should then look like this: :)

    You can post multiple photos in one post, just put a line break after the BBcode and paste the next one :)
