If you highlight the link to the youtube video and click the youtube button above, it will embed the video into your post.

But if your filter blocks youtube it will still be blocked even when embedded.

not necessarily, it depends on the filter settings.

Some basics of using the buttons on the site:

can be used to add an image from elsewhere on the internet.

right-click a picture on another website and select "copy image address" then paste on your post, highlight and click


can be used to make a hyperlink

basic: any website with the heading http:// will automatically be a hyperlink, but if it's without the heading like walmart.com it will not be a hyperlink but if you highlight it and click it will turn into a hyperlink like walmart.com

If you want a hyperlink to say something else, you can write the text you want to display, highlight it and click then put type =, and paste the url between the l and ] of the first [url.]

puts anything in a quote. if you put = and a name between the e and ] in the [quote.] it will quote that person. like this:

He who drink red fruit drink with no hands, get punch in nose.

If your link has the full YouTube URL you don't need the button at all. It helps for resizing it though.

Yes, my computer filter blocks all You Tube videos, yet I can open videos that people posted here on DDF that seem to originate in You Tube

Easiest way to make an image hyperlink. (On a computer)

You simply drag the image from the other site to the reply page on DDF. Then, it automatically converts it to a PostImage photo, and then you just swap out the PostImage link for the website link.

(For Amazon- use the DDF Friendly Link.)
