Hi Guys, I hope everyone is doing well. I had a little trouble getting on so I'm not sure if I like this new setup yet. I hope this is not the reason not too many people are posting lately. Have a great day.

Hi Anthony, I'm able to pop in for a minute before family dinner to help with the video thing.

Here's my reply to your post about it on the "what just happened" thread earlier:

http://www.brooklynian.com/forum/site-issues/what-just-happened/page/2

There's a new way to handle it for the moment. We can probably add the old functionality back as well, pasting the HTML code like you usually do from YouTube etc.

At the moment ALL YOU NEED IS THE LINK TO THE YOUTUBE PAGE, not all the code as before.

How-To:

1) You click the "video" button in the message posting box

2) Then you paste the link to the page on Youtube.com

3) Then you click the "video" button again and it will look like this:

[video*]

(just without the * asterisks after the word video that I put in so you could see the text result instead of it actually showing the video, as I have done below)

4) Then you click the "Send Post" button as usual

The result will look like this:

[video]

Again, we'll look into making the other way (pasting the code as you usually do) work again as before too.

HI GUYS.

DEB!!! WHEW, GLAD YOU'RE ON..JANET HAD SNOW?? I AM JEALOUS..LOL

OK...HOW DO WE GET THE COLORS ON THE WORDS.. I'M SO CONFUSED..

[b]HI TESTING BOLD :-k

Hi Patsy,

The best way is to type out what you want to type, then select/highlight the word(s) you want to bold or underline or whatever and then click the appropriate button.

It will automatically insert the formatting tags, one before and one after the word(s) you have selected.

Probably best to do the same with images and video...

Paste in the LINK to the image or page on youtube.com, then select the whole link and click the video button (for videos) or the IMG button (for images).

Hope that makes more sense.

It may take the first couple of days of fixing and adjusting various things in the new site here before we can make sure that it works as similar as possible to how it did before the update.

Thanks for your patience. The updated version of the site is much faster, far more secure and much easier and lighter to run than the old software running the prior (now very outdated) version of the site.

Best,

Jeffrey
