Why can't I post a new topic in the P11 Thread?

[jerrykap]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get up to speed on this forum and may need some help? I'm usually perseverant and wind up figuring things out for myself. In this case maybe I need administrator permission as the button for posting in the P11 thread remains on reply.

And a photo:

So let's see if I can do it here?

Thanks, Jerry

You can't start a new topic within an existing thread, because it's somebody else's (BillT's) topic.
I've corrected your YouTube link (wrong code), but I can't decipher the 'image' error.

Thanks I.A.B.

That explains it. Not sure why I got the wrong code for the video? All I did was copy and paste what YouTube provided for sharing.

As far as the picture is concerned, maybe Shutterfly is not supported? I'm going to try that again here:

Looks like the problem remains, so I guess I can't use my Shutterfly account here. Is Google images supported?

If you use the 'Edit' button to open your original message, then you can see what the correct code(+video tags) is.

I don't have a Shutterfly account, however, according to their information page it states: "SHARE SOCIALLY, Share on Facebook, blogs an other social networks" so it might be possible if you can find an image code that begins with: "http", and ends with ".jpg"

Is Google images supported?

Not sure, I will try to find out. Most of us here use Photobucket: http://www.Photobucket.com

Many thanks I.A.B.

Your help is appreciated. My problem remains with Shutterfly so It looks like I will have to try something else? I'll see what VIP membership offers? And investigate photobucket.

PS I used your tip and studied the original file extension used by YouTube and it seems that I just need to trim the excess code beginning with the question mark.
