How do you embed a photo or video or article so it shows in the post on the site rather than just be a link in the post?

Title really says it all.

I am interested how you can make an image or video appear in a post on this board.

Thanks in advance.

Just post the naked url. No tags…

Edit: I wasn’t intentionally calling you a dummy. I just grabbed the first internet themed Simpsons quote I could come up with.

I’ve posted naked URLs but I guess my mistake was not putting it on its own line.

Thanks.

Ooo, yeah, I didn’t even consider that bit.

That is the same technique for posting a “OneBox”. But note, it doesn’t work with all web sites you might link to.

Do we really want nakedity here? Won’t someone think of the children?
