I am getting a Navigation popup on the social media thread. It reads: There are still some AJAX processes pending. If you leave the page now, you may lose any changes you have made. this has happened 6 times in a row. Scotty has tweeted two tomes today and I cannot post them!!! There's a help thread on ProBoards about this here: support.proboards.com/thread/456432/ajax-processes-messageFrom glancing over it, the common reasons why this could be happening seems to be which browser you use, any plug-ins you installed, etc. You can ask them on this thread for help. Hopefully, this helps solve your problem. Thanks, I have not had the problem since Mary was able to post.

I have been looking at IDF for a couple of years and decided to join this new forum. I'm not very good with technology so I hope I can figure everything out. I follow some of you on Twitter to keep up with all things Scotty. Thank you for all the post on IDF and here. Welcome! Hope you'll post often. There's a bit of a learning curve, but we're all willing to help figure things out. Thank you. I'm sure I will be posting when the new single is released. This is my first attempt at a rely to a post hope it's correct.

I'm excited to think what will happen with this forum once Scotty releases new music and starts media rounds.

Since "IDF" refers to the old forum, maybe we can now use "MCF" for this new Mc Creerians Forum. I bounced this around with Deb, Dot and Jonathan (who suggested the acronym) - we thought it sounded pretty good. What do you all think?

Knowing how to bring videos to MCF was a learning experience for me and I thought it would be helpful to share step by step how to bring over a video you find on twitter. I will explain, not the fastest way but the way that allows you the most options. Enjoy posting things you find so we can all see them too!!
You are on twitter and you see a video that you want to bring to MCF
Open a new window on top of your twitter page Open mccreerians.freeforums.net Find the Board/thread where you want to post your video Go to the last page showing for the thread Go to the bottom of the page to the reply box Click on the word Reply in the upper right hand corner A new text box will open and in it you will see tools for color, font, font size, bold, etc Type in what text you want for your post (if any) and embellish it with color, bold, etc Minimize this window
You are now seeing your twitter page with your tweet of interest showing Right click on the profile name of the poster Choose Open Link in New Window (This will allow you to close this window later and not lose your place on twitter) Locate the tweet whose video you want to copy among the tweets listed for this poster Choose a normal text word in that tweet and right click on it When you do this, the URL at the top of the page will change (it will have a lot of numbers on the right side of the URL) Copy this new URL Paste the URL directly into the reply box on MCF on the thread for which it is appropriate (you will not see the video - just the URL) Press the Create Post button The video will appear in your post and will bring the text written with it along too.
If the post does not look like you want it to look choose Edit, select what you do not like and hit delete
Please go the the Test thread in the "Welcome to Your New Forum" and give this a try!! This directions may sound detailed to our techies, but it was the detail I needed to get it right. Let me know if you have any questions.
So you say you are not on twitter. Later I will explain how to bring a you tube video to MCF from the web.
