Here's how you make a link work verses imbedding the video itself.

take a piece of text and highlight it in some way to make it distinctive
I make it bold and change the color.

GREAT SOUNDING MUSIC

Then, with the text still selected, use the insert link tool on the editing bar.
Its the 7th selection from the left on my editing bar.
When you click the link editing selection it will give you a popup : insert your copied URL to the video here.
I copied a video URL and pasted it in to the link popup.

This way all a potential listener wants to do is click the link. The rest of the thread viewers don't have to download the video in order to watch the thread. Everybody wins.

When I use a text hyperlink I just highlight the wording I want by holding the left button on the mouse and moving the pointer across the text I want to highlight (didn't know it would work by bolding/changing color tho), then use the link thingy (as buck said, 7th from left) to get the url box to copy the link into.

Might have to explain what exactly you're doing to see where it goes sideways?

Okay I highlighted the video clicked copy, then went to the Audioholics post and clicked insert. A box popped up that says embed link. I then copied the video link into the embed box. But, it is still showing the said video. That is what I am trying to avoid so not to slow posters down. Have never done this before. What am I doing wrong?

Use the 7th one from left end of the toolbar, it just is described as "link"

 

[lovinthehd]

Me and my slow internet thanks you, Phil

Hmm, how are you highlighting the text in the thread post? PS I'd try a new post....

Filtered Senses - Pitch Black

Spotify link

In mobile, there's a "share" button. This arrow gives options including Copy Link.

Then you just paste it.

Yeah, but can you hide it with a text hyperlink?

 

[William Lemmerhirt]

On pc right click the video and select copy URL

That's true. Not sure how in Tapatalk mobile. Never looked I guess. I'm lucky I guess. I have 50mb up/down so I hardly notice.

LOL don't know how to do a link hypertext in tapatalk anyways (at least last I heard don't think there is any mobile site).

 

[lovinthehd]

LOL I have 6 Mbps down on a good day, maybe .6 up.

That my friend is unfortunate. For many years we had 1.5 by clearwire. Even at full speed, that's unbearable. Toward the end we were pulling like 256k. They can burn in hell. They oversold their market and couldn't deliver. Fiber is Baaad A$$$

Best service available here at this time; supposedly a new competitor is still setting up a wireless access for 20-25 Mbps range...price for living in our great outdoor paradise.
