Why am I (apparently) the ONLY one on here who doesn’t know how to post YouTube videos? Grrrrrr.


  I tried to put up the songs in answer to the question about favorite Kenny Rogers songs, and just like the past ten or eleven years I’ve been on AnswerBag and AnswerMug, I still don’t know the secret!  Arrrrrrrggggghhhhh.

    Just found the instructions.

    Select HOME on the right of the blue band at the top of the page.

    Select FAQS and Help.

    Scroll down to Q&A Section (3).

    Under the menu for Creating a Poll (1),
    select How do I add a video to my blog, question, comment, poll, etc.?

    You can't save it to your phone or desktop and upload it here. That's what usually gets people. You have to use the URL and click the icon of a picture that doesn't say "upload" next to it and put the link in that field. It should work.

    I have tried it just copying the link from giphy. I get just a little square. 

    Jaimie spent time once going through step by step once. Still never could. I tried to find it. And post a link to it. But I cannot find it. It may have got removed when she Benedict Arnold her account.

    Click on the exact place you want the video to appear inside the comment window.
    Now copy the url of the youtube video and then come back to the comment window.
    Click on the picture of film in the buttons up above (it's kind of under the dropdown titled Format).
    Paste the url you copied from youtube on the top (Source) line of the little window that shows up.  
    Click OK.
    Now click the red 'post reply' button below and your video should be in y our answer/comment. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at March 25, 2020 4:20 PM MDT

      I like a lot of things Australian, Mate,



    it’s just that Vegemite isn’t one of them. G’day!




    P.S. I chose a song about Australia and by an Australian band because Bookworm, an Australian Woman, was the first person who answered and who gave me the information I was seeking.
