[Tutorial] How to quote, post images, links etc in comments.(I was a noob)

I was too accustomed to other forums where i can post url's, images, quotes with a click of a button instead of typing out the simple code to do it.

For example: 

www.hothardware.com 

vs

http://hothardware.com/category.aspx

So, since me being a noob and all, i'm assuming there are other members out there who struggle with these as well, its cool, i did to. So heres a website you guys can access if you need to figure out how to post an image/jpeg, quote, paste a url etc.

Please use, and not abuse,

Cheers

Feel free to add more or let me know what to change and i'll do it. 

I didn't know I could use BBcode on here. Now I know to use it more often.

Embedded video, just discovered thanks to SuperDave

for example:

vs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZW5sCBc5Cs

This is done via

the [View:_______________enter url_______________________ (close square bracket)

So: replace the '(' and ')' with '[' and ']'

(View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZW5sCBc5Cs)

Thanks dude I always struggle with these.. It great that you posted this as i didnt know how to post links into forums.

Just went back to edit my last post and fixed the url XD...

just to 'bump' this a bit  and refer to the Embedded video thread as well

sometimes you may want to RH click on the uTube vid to get the url info to copy into HH vid link

mention because it was a suggestion for a possible solution for some to provide a 3rd url that youtube or such  may not be showing

try using  that

have fun
