Ohhhh wait ....did the site re-size it for me????

suzie - Yep, it resized it for you. We had cases (in the prior site and this new one) of huge images breaking the layout, sometimes covering over quote etc. buttons.

We put in something that makes sure that photos are no bigger than the size we need to fit them in posts. Hope that helps.

Also, we will work on putting all the other easier buttons in that allow you to do size, font, colors, etc. nice and simple like before without worrying about all these more complicated, less intuitive (and PITA, often) special opening and closing tags needed for things to display as intended.

Thanks to all for your patience. We'll get there. #-o

Thanks Jeff ......but what about the SLAP TAB????? (wink)

Thanks for yours and Mamacita's response to us...

Gotta run ....have a beautiful weekend Everyone

ok let me try another video with embedded code

MOD NOTE: Remember... click the "video" button BEFORE pasting the link, then the "close" button after pasting the link.

Otherwise it's just a link.

Still working on the SLAP button, which you will be free to use on all of us in management. - j

ok ....1 more time

blonde thing

Steps:

1) click video button to add [video]

2) paste in youtube page link

3) click the close button to add [/video]

The end result will be this in the preview:

[video][/video]

...which will result in this when posted:

[video]

Weird, it works via the exact steps I wrote above, which you appear to be following.

Did the close button add the [/video] right after the http.. link?

Did it look like exactly this in the preview before you posted it?

[video][/video]

I'm using the buttons directly above the box where I type my post.

The "video" thing at the top of the page isn't a button related to formatting anything way down in the text box. It just shows subjects people have mentioned in the "Tags (comma separated)" box BELOW the posting box. Kind of like if someone types in a post about a reunion, then enters reunion in that "Tags (comma separated)" below their posts so other people can easily find all posts also tagged with the word reunion.

Yeah the preview button doesn't show the video or images... hopefully this will get on the long to do list

LOL....that's a great idea!

Hey Mamacita

ok .....really gotta run!

OK THE TAGS ARE BACK

I DID WHAT YOU SAID TO DO

BUT STILL JUST THE LINK

NO VIDEO

quick type by...I HATE THIS BLOG..Hi to Patsy, Terry & Suzie..After reading your comments to Jeffrey, all I can say is "Thank God I don't know how to do video, pictures or anything else on here except type! Cuz I don't know what you two were talking about anyway! Why anyone deliberately makes things harder is beyond me! Anyway, nice Saturday in Chicago but in the 40's. By the way this blog has emptied out, everyone must feel the same way as me...going back to work on Monday-talk to u soon............

OK....I guess the video thing still isnt coming on full screen

but I see my quote again ....thats a plus!
