Hello, I am messaging because I am trying to share some videos on the forums like some other members are doing and they aren't showing up after a few days. I am not sure how long the approval system is supposed to take, also I have not been told if they have been rejected by the system and what caused them to not go through. There is no message approval pending system in place for me to really know of that. I am not exactly trying to post anything inappropriate, it follows the general rules of the forums and is in line with what others have posted in regard to the topic

    If you want some "help", here's how I do it. My videos come from Youtube so this may not work on other sites but while on Youtube, I click on the Share arrow. It'll then give you a list of options(Embed, Whatsapp, FB, X, etc.) but I just click the copy tab for the link and then hit the insert media button at the bottom left. Enter the Url and voila, it should work. As an example, a speedrun of one of my favorite games:

    I cannot create posts. There is no button or icon. I've tried two different accounts, and I've verified them via email. Where should the "create post" button be located?

    If using a mobile android web browser, there is a "+" button on the bottom right corner of the screen. If it's not there then you may need to submit a ticket or something ( @Mod_Nova or another mod can direct you to the appropriate help section) otherwise:

    • Select the floating plus button at the bottom right hand of the screen.
    • Select the drop down categories that are appropriate for your post (which area you want the post to appear in)
    • Then fill in the text area.

    Something to remember is that there are three main types of posts:

    • Questions: where you ask a question then review the commented replies (if any) from other community members and then you decide if the comments answer your question.
    • Discussions: You start the thread and it's open to the pokemon forum members to comment and discuss things back and forth.
    • Ideas: That's for when you want other forum members to show support by voting for whatever idea you have. Also open to comments. Ideas are only postable in certain categories (I don't know why)

    Good luck!

    Thank you that was not obvious to me for some reason.
