Dear admin, I just tried to upload a link to an Ebay ad (first time) but little red words appeared saying "the extension eml is not allowed, what did i do wrong?

Hi Barry, the last 3 letters after the dot say what kind of file you have - .txt is a text file etc.
.eml is an email file, so I think you had 'cut' the wrong link before 'paste'. An easy mistake.
With eBay, you can either cut and paste the whole link : http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ADULTS-SHAUN ... c87&_uhb=1
Or just use the number 200892119905.

It is only there for the illustrative purposes..

Are you able to get the link to work in your post Barry?
What I would like to now how to do is embed a video. Anyone know how?

...no joy with the link Brenton, The way I post photos here may not be the same way as most (thats asking for it again) , I email the pic to myself from our Adobe photo shop, then click on file, then file attachments into my docs. then come to the forum and download the pic from my my docs...haven't figured out the cut and paste proceedure you spoke of yet...I'll have another go another day.

Hi Barry,
If you are using photoshop, it could be that it is trying to save in it's own format (.psd). It does this by default. The forum software isn't smart enough to recognise .psd..
When you save in Photoshop, go to save as and get the save screen up. look where you type in the file name. Under "file name" there is "format". If you play around with the format button, you"ll find you have a number of choices including JPG or jpeg. This file type is the easiest for the forum, although others do work.

To cut and paste an eBay address, just highlight the address text like you would in Word or the word processor you use. Left click, and drag to highlight. Right click, cut and then right click, paste into the forum page. You can sometimes run into a problem if the link is really long and so you don't start at the beginning. You end up only cutting out part of the address.
When you paste the link into the forum text box, it doesn't look like a link; more just text. It'll sort out when you press submit.
If you stuff up a post, you call ways press the delete button above and to the right of the text box.
If you put the eBay number into google or into the search box at the top of the eBay page, it will go direct to the auction.
