Open a YouTube account (its free) and post the video there. Then link using the youtube tags...

for example...

I have a video uploaded at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrll3sZP22E

using the tags, i post the end (after "v=") inside like: [ youtube ]hrll3sZP22E[ /youtube ], and you will see

. . . or you put your vid on a hosting site like PhotoBucket and link directly to it (that's what I do)

ah, but that means you can't embed it Marlon, and the link would take you to the photobucket site, albeit in another tab.

Very true Mark - also large vids are a pain to upload to PhotoBucket ( think I just talked myself out of my own method :cry: )
