When posting links to videos

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

When posting links to videos

Post by explorer »

When people post links to videos, there are some I cant access on my computer. If links are posted like this, and the first one cant be seen, the second one goes to facebook where the video can be seen. Put "url in square brackets" at the beginning, and "/url in square brackets" at the end. To see the actual text, click on quote. I cant get it to display here.

Some things still get blocked. I am probably not the only one.

It is because of browser settings, which I dont know how to change. The browser blocks some ads, so the internet sites block some content. I can normally see the videos when I go to the sites, but I cant access some on this forum. There must be others experiencing the same thing.

Do you use an Ad Blocker?

Mozilla Firefox with Linux Mint.

No. But I believe Firefox blocks some ads.

I raised this issue because I suspect others are also unable to see some videos. If anyone can say for sure it is only me, dont worry about it.

Not sure whether you are giving advice or asking for help.

If it is only me, it doesnt matter.

I highly suspect others are unable to see some videos. By posting two different types of links, people should be able to see more videos.

he's asking you to change the way you post videos because he cannot see them sometimes, and says perhaps others cannot as well.
Still here, in country...
