[question] attaching audio/video files

[Pagey]

I have seen that some people post funny videos/songs etc, which can be downloaded straight from zgeek.

How do you attach/post these wmv etc files?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

you need some space to host the file on the internet - sometimes if you find a file already posted you can hot-link to that in the forums using the [ VIDEO ] or [ AUDIO ] BB Codes (but remove the spaces for it to work)

eg. on this page (http://www.fosters.com.au/beer/about/brands/beer/vic_bitter.asp) you can see the links down the right hand column.

Right-Click the one called "Victoria Bitter Radio Commercial -Greatest Theme Music" then select copy shortcut.

go into your zgeek post, then remove the spaces from

[ AUDIO ]http://www.fosters.com.au/beer/about/brands/beer/media/GreatestThemeMusic.mp3[ /AUDIO ]

ie

http://www.fosters.com.au/beer/about/brands/beer/media/GreatestThemeMusic.mp3

the other option is when you have the file you want to post on your own system. In this case (please correct me if i'm wrong here) you need your own ftp web space.

Most ISP's bundle 5Mb or more with your account so you just need to transfer the file to your webspace then you can link the [ AUDIO ] or [ VIDEO ] tag directly to your space.
