So lately people seem to have problems posting links right, posting pictures or posting videos. It really isn't that hard once you get used to it. Click Pictures to make them Bigger.

For everything
Make sure your Fancy Editor is OFF. It is important that it is off due to the fact that it has had a lot of problems and causes a lot of the mistakes with these three things.

How to turn off the Fancy Editor:
Step 1: Go to your Profile(Click on your username in the upper left hand corner of your screen)


Step 2: Go to the Settings Tab on your profile


Step 3: Click "No" for when it says "Enable the Fancy Editor (GUI)?


And you're done

Links
Links are really easy with the Fancy Editor Off

Step 1: Find and copy your URL.(Example shown circled in Orange)


Step 2: Paste that URL in your Post


Step 3: Finish your post/Preview and post it.

You end up with

Then you're done!

Pictures
Pictures are just as easy as Links only with one extra thing.

Step 1: Find and Copy your Picture's Direct Link. Make sure that it ends with .jpg or .png or .gif (Example Shown Circled in Yellow)


Step 2: Paste that Link in your post between img codes ([img]imageurlhere[/img])


Step 3: Finish/Revise/Preview Post then post it

You end up with


And you're done!

Videos
Videos are a little harder but make sure you always preview before you post.
