How to post stuff on GIM2

[Goldhedge]

FYI Embedding videos - I fixed a few here, but figured you'd all like to know how....?

I will explain each icon in order left to right, but if you mouse over each icon it tells you what each one does.

If you just dump a URL here you will get this: http://goldismoney2.com/forum.php

If you use the 'insert link' icon you will get this: [URL ="http://goldismoney2.com/forum.php"]http://goldismoney2.com/forum.php[/URL] why the extra stuff, I don't know. Maybe an HTML expert can enlighten us?

The 'remove link' icon does what it says, though it seems obvious enough to just select and delete it.

The 'insert email' icon allows you to put in an email - I'm guessing a 'mailto' link to your email - this might be to prevent bots from harvesting??

If you want to 'insert image', click the 'insert image' icon and insert the url of the icon [this works well if you use photobucket-type sites, or the image has a url].

If you want to attach a video, 1st copy the "embedded" link [located under the youtube video] and use the 'insert video' icon and you will get an image of the video - not just a url.

The order of icons discussed are in the below image...under the 'Attachments' image...

If you use the "insert link" you get the chance of putting your own wording into the post (it's the extra bit that's highlighted), instead of the words 'http://goldismoney2.com/forum.php'.

The easiest way to understand is to click to quote this post and look at the line above.

I don't know if this is the place to ask this question, but here goes-

When I logged in on the old site I could view new threads that were posted since my last visit, because they were displayed in boldface type. Then I could use the 'view first unread' function to skip to the new stuff. For whatever reason the new site won't allow me to do this. Is the function available on this site? This function works fine while I'm logged onto the site, but doesn't work in between visits. Any help would be appreciated.
