How Do You Post Video???
Some threads have a picture of the video that is on the thread that opens by clicking the picture on the thread.
How do you do this???? How do you upload this to the forum as a new thread?
Anyone???

I think you are talking about threads like this one:

If so, it's just a screengrab of the video that hotlinks to the actual youtube page. He used a screen capture program (there are tons of them) to grab an image of the youtube vid and then inserted the pic into the thread using [img] tags, then he hotlinked the thread using [url] tags so when you click it, it opens the youtube page.
You can't imbed video in threads on this forum.

Yes, that thread you linked to is what I am curious about.
Thanks for the tips. I will keep trying to do this.
Do you recommend a specific screen capture program?
I have a Mac, if that matters.

If you have a Mac, use "grab". It comes with OSX. Just search "grab" in finder.
