NEW BOARDS - How do I... Embedding media

[Vernon]

Welcome to the new WVSports.com message boards.


We’ve provided several How To threads so you can familiarize yourself with the new tools and features of the new message boards.


In this thread, we’ll go over embedding several types of media into your new threads or replies on the boards.


How do I embed from Twitter?


To embed a tweet on to the board, it is simply a copy and paste of the tweet’s URL.

• Copy the URL of the tweet you wish to embed to the board.

• Paste the URL of the tweet in the body area of a new thread or reply.

• Click “Post Reply” / “Create Thread” (Replying/New Thread Creation)

The tweet will be embedded on the board after the new thread is created or the reply has been posted.
