You mean a reply with quote. That function was removed from PPrune due to overuse and threads quoting several previous posts. There are ways around it (obviously) and now you have a start for your search.
And while I'm at it how do you attach a youtube or similar media item to a post? I learn't a lot about attaching photos cos somebody went to the trouble of posting a step by step guide which I found invaluable. How do you send a youtube video or BBC newspage to photobucket to then attach to a post?? Or does it involve too much magic for a mere mortal like me...
AFAIK you can't, unless you host the media on a server and then post the URL here. Or simply post the URL from the site already hosting the media. PPRune server couldn't support hosting vast media files.
