So lately people seem to have problems posting links right, posting pictures or posting videos. It really isn't that hard once you get used to it. Click Pictures to make them Bigger.

For everything

Make sure your Fancy Editor is OFF. It is important that it is off due to the fact that it has had a lot of problems and causes a lot of the mistakes with these three things.

How to turn off the Fancy Editor:

Step 1: Go to your Profile(Click on your username in the upper left hand corner of your screen)

Remember to select "use old embed code" when embedding videos. I don't know why it's not availible for you, but it always fucks people up.
