You can now post videos at Investors Iraq!!!

They will appear like the ones below and all you have to do is play
the video without having to go the video website.

You can post your videos in any forum/thread but please make sure
it is relevant to the forum/thread you are posting in.

To post a video, simply copy the link (not the embed, just the link)
to the video from sites like YouTube, Yahoo, MySpace, etc.

Please remember that Forum Rules are always applicable and we ask that
members keep their video in compliance (both audio and video portions).

If you try to post a video and it doesn't work, please PM me (with a link
to your post) and I will try to fix it for you.

Here are some samples below:

If you want to limit the viewing of certain forums, there are ways to do this:

1. New Posts Opt Out - you can determine what forums you want to see when you click New Posts - here's how:


Go to you USER CP / Edit Options (http://www.investorsiraq.com/profile.php?do=editoptions)
Scroll to the bottom of the page
Go to the option called Exclude Forums from "Get New Posts"
When selecting the forum you do not want to see, you can hold the CTRL button on your keyboard to select multiple forums.

2. Portal Views - We have various options in the Portal section (on the menu at the top of the page) so you can see the latest posts in only the areas you would like to view. You can also bookmark (favorite) that section in your browser (or make it a shortcut on your desktop) so it becomes your homepage for IIF. The New Posts Opt Out does not function here.
