I'm not sure you can ... if you look at Ians WRT video post you'll notice that the 'video image' is just a link and can't be viewed directly on the forum ... but I could be oh so very wrong.

What Stu says. I take a screen shot of the video, place it in Flickr then fiddle with the links to direct the viewer to the video url, blog or wherever. It's a bit fiddly though.

You can with the phpbb forum software, but it needs to be enabled in the options by the admin. Bit like the functionality to use the [table] code.

Danny Macaskill from the Cuillin Ridge video?

Ah great it worked! Was trying but not sure how to clear the cache on this newfangled chrome!

From the video linked in the Highland Traill 550 topic - it's the making of this specific stunt, worth a watch! Alpinum linked it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ67I8s ... e=youtu.be Lots of shots of Danny Macaskill not quite making it and falling off.

Btw for making gifs like that you just add 'gif' into a youtube address, after the www. bit and before the word youtube.. I hosted it on a tumblr which is free and turns out works just fine :D
