When posting an article from any other website
Permalink Closed


Example:
Men from Mars discovered ordering food at Burger King.  Source: Aliens Among Us
note: Title is taken from the sites headlines for article and the webiste is Aliens Among Us.
Copy a paragraph or two, highlight, right click, copy then paste here where you plan to post the news.  Highlight again what you have posted here, use the quote tags you see at the top, if you use your curser to hover over the quotes it will say "wrap the selected text in quote tags".  Be sure to copy the website address and put at the bottom of your paragraphs.  Sites have copywrite laws so be sure to read before you post here.  
 
Example of text for your post from another website:

Men from Mars have invaded the local Burger King in our town, etc, ect, etc, etc,
Aliensamongus.com
Title should give a description as to what the thread is about.  Use exact title line taken from website and put the resource in title.

To post an image click on the tree image.  After copying the http, paste into image box, click on "insert".


To post a youtube video:  Use the icon that looks like a movie tape on above line, hover over it and it will say "insert an embedded video".  You may get a popup that says allow script.  You have to click ok for that.  After clicking on video icon, a box will come up that says "paste the url of a streaming video here".  After pasting the url, click ok.  If you did it correct, your video will show up after you hit preview or submit.


As of now, this site will only accept videos from youtube.  I couldn't get any others to work.  They have resticted that feature.  I also, have no been able to post flash or java script games.  I have to put the url for the game or puzzle, then you have to click on the link to get to it.


I will update guide lines as needed.  You can always pm me if you have problems and I will try to get them resolved.
