[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] yup test away as much as you like!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] The "like" and "mention" buttons appear to be missing.

Why did I just know that was going to happen? I can't look into it now, sorry folks. I will asap.

i was wondering why I couldn't like posts. I have a feeling I will like a bunch today

also the banners aren't showing up for me but that's not a huge deal.

Like, like, like, like.

We are a spoiled bunch. Hopefully it will be resolved within 24 hours.

For those who can watch an IG story and grab the mp4 link, when there is is a story with multiple pictures, how do you grab the link?

Sometimes if I click on it it will pause eventually for me to get the link but most times nothing works. It keeps playing but I can't right click on it. There is a pause button that flashes quickly but it won't pause the story.

I have tried it GA. The multiple pics only have available "copy image addresses" in it, so its only can be posted as a pic (as JPG/png/ (not video)).

If you right click and "copy video addresses" appeared, then its a video/Mp4. Often one IG story contained these 2 kinds of format altogether.

I also have found trouble in creating the vid with the old method by

Code:

<video controls="" height="460" width="320">
 <source src="/extensions/myVideo.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

it appeared as nothing on my screen.

so i am now using this link. : [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
just right click the IG story containing "copy video addresses" then paste it on top bar on the site.then you just co-pas the embed code. Its quite easy.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] thanks, yes I've always done that but the carousel of pics won't work most of the time. If I fool around with it and get it to pause, you can grab the link.

The old method is easy once you have the link.

"/extensions/myVideo.mp4" type="video/mp4"

gets deleted and insert the link, make sure the " at the beginning and the " at the end are removed as well, don't put any extra space anywhere.

Is there a how to on making slow motion clips out of promos or making SCs ??

This is how I do s/caps using a mouse.

While watching the vid, press pause where you want to create the s/cap.

Choose "Snipping Tool" Every Window's Version has the accessory. The icon has scissors on it.

Choose "New". As soon as you choose new, bring your cursor to where you want to "cap" the picture. Put your cursor at the top left of the picture. Left click and draw a box around the cap. I try to get the time in the cap. It makes it easier for anyone to go back to watch it at that moment.

As soon as you release that's the cap. Choose file, save. You can name it, or just go with the default name. I usually just save it to my desktop then delete it after I upload it here. If I'm creating a few at at time then I would name it.

Go to Host an Image icon in this reply box. Third one before youtube. Choose select file. Look for it where you saved it. Select the up arrow in the box that appears. It uploads the picture I copy the second link and paste it in the icon "Insert Image" the one next to "Host and Image" in the first box that starts with url,  No need to fill any other boxes.

Slow mo clips is not something I've tried.

I'm on my way out shortly but always appreciated if anyone else can add their suggestions!!

Feel free to practice in the Testing thread.
