Well your first problem is you only included <img src="http:"> in your code.

I don't know why you cant post the image though. Works fine for my code.
 
Some websites won't let you embed their images in other websites since it still has to download and use their bandwidth. That's why you'll get images seem to be fine on their website, but produce a . You also might get this if the image has been deleted from that web address or if it was moved.
 

Also, I would like to mention that you can use a double equal (==) to have textile ignore certain things. I recently started having problems where surrounding a word using *word* ; was still resulting in the word being bold faced so i guess the html is converted before the textile is applied so I stumbled across the double equal option. The @textile@ works as well though, so whatever your preferences are. Maybe one works when the other doesn't. Though the <code> tags seem to be a little more tricky. (they wouldn't ignore my * and using @s gave me &#42; while using = gave me the correct code seen above.)

edit: it appears I don't know what I am doing/talking about as usuall. So here is an article talking about escapement that might work on KYM or might not. And here is redcloth.org which has a huge textile database explanation. Again, their code might not work for everything here.

The autoplay/Loop combo is acting a bit wonky with me and just wondering if i did it right. Here is the textile I used: < iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/qURei6svd90"?autoplay=1&loop=1frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

testing

Edit: okay, so there was a whole lot wrong with your embed code. For starters:

<iframe width=“420” height=“315” src=“//www.youtube.com/embed/qURei6svd90”?autoplay=1&loop=1frameborder=“0” allowfullscreen>

That bolded quote mark should be located after the "&loop=1" else you cut the embed source to the original youtube vid with no extra code and you need a space after &loop=1. Also YouTube will only loop with their videos in the "AS3" player when used in conjunction with a playlist containing the original video link. Thus you get this:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/qURei6svd90?version=3&loop=1&playlist=qURei6svd90" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

Oh, and make sure to tack on an </iframe> just for proper html rendering, else it thinks you're still adding things to the video frame.

Now here's where things get trickier. If you want autoplay (which is only allowed on user's profiles now because it spams the pages/forums), you have to use the old embed code. This make the code more complex and easier to mess up, so I'm just going to refer you to this link here.

Without the autoplay you should get this:

I'm a new member to KYM and am having trouble posting GIFs. How do I post a GIF that's saved to my computer?

Wat do?

Twilitlord wrote:

you need to upload the gif online first. The site will not read files stored on your computer, only those stored with an associated IP/URL online (it's more complicated than that but that's the short version). You could upload it to KYM, associating it with an entry/tags if applicable by rolling over the "IMAGES" tab up top and clicking "Upload an Image"; the process is rather self-explanatory. You could also use another service if you need/want to, but why? We've got everything you need here. Just stay foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrr…

says the hypocrite who usually just puushes pics on his computer because its more convenient even though theyll be broken links in 3 months now

Then just follow the instructions listed here, or use corresponding html tags.

On a side note, this seems like a good time to remind everyone that this thread is not for you to test out textile features. It's preferable if you test it on your personal profile, for example by making a comment and testing it (textile works anywhere on the site you can make a full text post IIRC, like articles, abouts and comments.

Alright, how do I post an image that isn't online?

Dead Account wrote:

By putting it online.
In fact, KYM is perfect for that. If you go to the bar at the top, under Images, choose Upload an Image, you can upload one without assigning it to an article.
This is even better for hosting than imgur because it won't make you start paying an annual fee to host more than a certain number of images.

I'm a tad paranoic (JUST A BIT >_< ) and as such I must ask.

Is it fine for the site server? If there's no problem at all I shall start uploading here instead of Flickr

The Cute Master :3 wrote:

My general rule of thumb is if I don't want it tied to this account, I don't upload it. Once it's in the image gallery then it's got your account tied to it as the uploader and is free reign for comments and downvotes. (For some reason people actually check the general gallery and down vote images as they see fit even if they're not tied to an entry.) I, myself, use the gallery sparingly. Most images that don't have anything to do with memes I upload to imageshack. They just started charging for their site, but you get 30 days free, it's $2 a month, and I've never had an image link go bad because I've "used up too much bandwidth." Feel free to do as you want though. (Within the site guidelines that is.)

Edit: But do try to make sure you're uploading original content only. We don't want duplicate images flooding the gallery and making it unusable. You can still include tags even if you don't link it to a meme, so that helps as well.

you know, with small symbols, letters etc. more or less obscuring the text?
like this

i have no idea how it's called so i can't google it.

I'm currently working on an entry based around Reggie Fils-A-Mech, and a part of it includes the Tweet with Shigeru Miyamoto pointing at a security tape with Fils-A-Mech. The only problem about this is that I don't know how to embed Tweets, and since embedding the Tweet would be necessary, and the fact I can't find anything that says how to embed Tweets, I would really like to know.

Still didn't answer the question as to how to post a video on the comments section, not forum posts <_<

So.. does anyone know if you can use precise colors? Like, in a hex code or somehing like that?
I mean, there's red, blue, white, maybe even "weird" colors like turquoise or magenta, but can you use hex code, like this, for example?
Oh well, let's see if it works
(if it worked, the code is e0e0e0, by the way)

RandomMan wrote:

Also refer to KYMdb Style Guide and Wikipedia: Textile.

I won't explain everything here, but I'll give you the textile you'll find most commonly on this site.

Bold: Place a * on both sides of the text you want bold. Result: Bold Text
Italic: Place a _ on both sides of the text you want italic. Result: Italic Text
Strikethrough: Place a – on both sides of the text you want strikethrough. Result: Strikethrough Text

Underlined text is done differently: Start your text with < u > and end your text with < /u >, remove the spaces of course when using it. This doesn't work on the forums however, therefore I can't correctly show it.

These can all be combined with each other as well, creating the combined results: Ultra Combo!

%{font-size:12pt}font size% will change the size of the text by changing the number. Like this.

%{color:red}text in red% will change the color of the text by changing the color name. Like this.

• Image posting:

Place exclamation marks (!) on both sides of the Url or use <img src="Url">, the second code allows to change the size of the text by adding width="X" or height="X" behind it, with X being a number.

So <img src="https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/428/023/6d9.jpg" height="300"> becomes:

!https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/428/023/6d9.jpg! would also post the image, but wouldn't change the height or width. To change the size with this method, the size has to be applied differently: !{height: 300px}https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/428/023/6d9.jpg!

• Headers:

Start the sentence with h2. (dot included) followed by a space. The number can vary between 1 and 6, with 1 being the biggest header. Entries most commonly use h2. and h4. in their headers.

• Blockquotes:

<blockquote> Text to be quoted. </blockquote> will create quoted text. Starting a line with bq. (followed by a space) creates the same effect but will only function on the paragraph it's applied to and stops working for the next paragraph.

Text

• Linking:

This can be used to name your links and make them a hyperlink. This is done by using either "Name of the Link":Url or <a href="Url">Name of the Link</a>

So "Super Special Awesome Link":https://knowyourmeme.com/ becomes Super Special Awesome Link.

The Name of the Link can also be changed by an image html or textile, making the image the link. So
<a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/"> <img src="https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/428/023/6d9.jpg" height="300"> </a>
and
"!{300 px}https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/428/023/6d9.jpg!":https://knowyourmeme.com/
become:

• Other small things:

• Start a sentence with a * followed by a space to use bullets, as seen in these examples.

• Use <center> and end with </center> to center your text or image, giving it a more professional look in entries with media. This creates small text on the forum, so there you have to place an enter between the start and end of the code, and your text.

• <br> creates an extra enter, creating some room between 2 paragraphes of text or media and text.

• This also goes for <hr>, but this one adds a line. Placing 3 – 's behind each other with an enter before and after also works. This creates:

---

• Spoiler buttons:

Use either <div class="spoiler">Hidden Text</div> or <div class="spoiler" title="Title">Hidden Text</div>. Difference with the second one is that you can change the title of the button. If you don't want your text to be small within the spoiler, just place an enter between both ends of the code and the text. Creating:

Capiche?

• Avoiding textile:

Either place an @ on both sides of the textile, or use <code> Textile </code>. Enough examples of this can be found in this post. Some don't allow this however, in which case I use ( and ) for the examples.

However, using @ or the <code> methods can generate odd small text in certain areas of the site, which can be annoying if you want to avoid textile without this effect. To bypass this, place two equation signs on both sides of the text. So in the case of avoiding bold text: *text* will be fixed to *text*. This only works on textile and not html.

• Youtube videos:

First I'll post this image:

The text surrounded by the red is what you need to copy+paste to post a video. You don't need to check "Include Related Videos". The Youtube code has updated over time, so you'll get a different code now. For example this one:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

• Changing Size:
  The "width" and "height" you see can be used to change the size of the video. Youtube also does this for you by changing the numbers in the custom section. For entries, KYM uses a width of 425 for stand-alone vids, and 300 for vids placed next to each other or in tables. So the following code:

<iframe width="300" height="233" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Will change into:

• Editing certain features:

You can give you video certain features like autoplay or replay. To do this, place a questionmark (?) behind the Url in the embed code and follow that by one of the following codes.

• Autoplay: To make your video have autoplay, add autoplay=1 behind the questionmark. Autoplay is only allowed on your profile wall! Nowhere else!
  <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
• Start at certain point: To let the videos start from a certain point, add start=X behind the questionmark. With X being the start of the video in seconds. So to start the video at 30 seconds, use:
  <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?start=30" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
• Loop: Some videos already loop themselves, but in case they don't you have to add loop=1 behind the questionmark. This creates:
  <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?loop=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

These features can also be combined. To do this, you have to put a "&" between each code feature. So for example:

<iframe width="500" height="500" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?start=40&autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Will create a 500 by 500 video in autoplay starting at 40 seconds.

---

• WEBMs and SWFs:

The code for embedding WEBMs and SWFs is as follows:
<embed src="URL" height="300" width="300">
Height and width can be adjusted the same way as Youtube videos.
Note that WEBMs and SWFs autoplay automatically, so please cover them with a spoiler of some sort if they contain sound.

---

Not everything you'd like to know might be added here. If you want to know more about textile, feel free to ask. You'll be answered as fast as possible.

Also be aware that some codes may not work on the forums, but do work on entries, and visa versa.
