Re: Some Great Flying
You can post links to YouTube content if you've uploaded your video there.
Pro tip: If you have a YouTube video link which looks like like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE5Ezf1yypM
Then you can just paste in the BE5Ezf1yypM part, select the text, and then click on the "youtube" button above the edit window (in the Full Editor). The resulting text will look like this: {youtube}BE5Ezf1yypM{/youtube}, but with square brackets, and will embed the video directly in your post like this:

Re: Some Great Flying
I would like to share some of my videos with members of this forum, but I don't upload to YouTube (for a number of reasons).

Re: Posting video
We currently don't have nearly enough storage to enable pilots to upload videos to DAN.

Re: Posting video
Steve, if you have some other place you upload videos to (Dropbox, etc.) you can post a link to them that way - it's not as integrated as the YouTube method, but still possible. Basically, your video just needs to be somewhere on the internet where people can get to it to view it.

Re: Posting video
It looks like there may be one or more phpBB extensions that make it easier to embed video from cloud storage services like Dropbox or Google Drive. I'll do some more research to see whether they would work for us.

Re: Posting video
The media extension for phpBB should be enabled now. In the "Full Editor" you can use the little TV icon to insert a media link. Paste a link to your cloud-hosted data between the {media} tags. Note that the media link needs to be publicly accessible for this to work.

Works for me, but someone else try to make sure it is a Shared link...

Re: Posting video
The link works for me, but the video is not displaying inline in the post like I think it should. I.e. I have to click on the link, which takes me to a Dropbox page where I can see the video. I'll have to see if Dropbox is wrapping the file with some code that prevents the extension from working.
