"How did you do the stuff?” not “What did you do?”
That is a VERY good point Bilal - I never thought of it that way before.
@Philski the forum automatically resizes the images to 1400 pixels wide and compresses images to about 270k. There is a code script built into the forum that does this automatically. I do appreciate your concern about how much is too much. I admit to myself, it is easy to get carried away and like Bilal said, I guess it is best to stay with what is relevant.
On the other hand, I have also used videos to express a function of a build that is hard to convey with just pictures. However, it is a little more to that as you have to upload your video to a (your Youtube account if you have one). Then that fun begins if you want to edit your video, then that alone becomes a task within itself -
So, when you upload your video to youtube. After which, youtube will give you a web address that might look something like
https // youtu.be/M3N_7Z8hw_zQ
Then on the formatting bar strip, you can click on "Insert Media" - it is the small icon to the RIGHT of the smiley face and then another box will appear asking you to add the Media URL. That is where you insert the youtube link. Then clicking Continue will add your embedded video to your post. Since this is a link to Youtube, it is not using server space on the server.
Well, I hope this has given you some ideas. I use youtube from time to time when a simple picture does not help. I know you did not ask about youtube, but I wanted to offer you some other avenues.
