Okay, well here is another tutorial, this time on posting flash videos.
First, you must get the link, of the flash video itself, or this wont work. (you can do so by either clicking the flash video itself, right clicking the video, to get the properties (seldom works on flash videos, but worth the try)) or by using the mouse over technique, which basically all you need to do is just place the mouse pointed over the video, or cartoon, and look at the bottom left, of your BROWSER window, and you should see the link to the video.
Now when you do have the video url, copy and paste it onto the message part of a post. Now this next part is very important, it separates success, from failure, so pay attention!

is different from

----
This: http://www.fredthemonkey.com/cartoons/wakemeupatE3.swf works
This: http://www.fredthemonkey.com/cartoons/wakemeupatE3.html doesn't
explanation: Notice how on the first link, the url ends with swf. this is very important when posting flash videos, because swf is the file name for flash video, and conveniently, that is the file name that the flash video option on this forum recognizes, it wont play your video if you leave the html in the url. Now Im sure you noticed that both links played the video, but only the first one will work. so even if you click on a video, and it gives you
This: http://www.fredthemonkey.com/cartoons/wakemeupatE3.html, there is still hope, first try changing that .html to .swf. The finally, to post the video, just highlight the url, and click the  or type in (flash)"url"(/flash) manually. (Note, the () are actually suppose to be [])
and there you have it, how to post flash videos.
