    The movie The Cave came out about 20 years ago.

    It was about underground caverns one in particular whose opening was covered in a eastern European church. The plot was that a species developed in the cavern blah blah blah.

    Anyway I was always fascinated by the beauty of these caverns.

    Fast to today and 60 Minutes did a piece on these caves in Vietnam. They are beautiful. The makers of the movie got me beauty correct and didn't exaggerate.

    In Vietnam a river covered out the cavern.

    Thanks, I'm not a supporting member, I don't know how to post pictures, if I can, either way I don't ask.

    So the species actually was an infection that transformed people into creatures that can survive underground.

    One of the aspects of surviving underground that I didn't really take into the enormous influence was that it's pitch black darkness and the 60 Minutes piece didn't focus on it but put it in perspective

    Edit, instead of infection more like a parasite

    Maybe you have the ability to post pictures and Videos. You just need to explore it.


    There is what I will call a Toolbar above the open box where you type in your response.

    The left side of the Toolbar has things to alter Text.

    B == Bold


    I == Italics

    U == Underline

    The thing that looks like a drop or the business end of an Artist's paint brush is for changing the color of text to something beyond the default Black

    T == Text Size

    A == Font


    To use those things, select a block of text with your Mouse or similar and then click on the Tool that you would like to use.
    Once you have the Alteration done, release the selected block of Text.

    __________________

    The middle part of the Toolbar
    is for aligning things, creating lists etc.

    __________________

    The right side of the Toolbar has

    Smilie Face Selector
    Looks like a Picture == Inserting Picture
    Media == Looks like real old school film with the dots on the side to feed Video through a Projector for Inserting Video such as Youtube
    __________________

    I don't use the things on the far right of the Toolbar.

    __________________

    To insert a video such as from Youtube, find one that you like and copy the URL from the address bar at the top of the browser.

    Come back to Clutchfans and click on the symbol - tool for Video.
    Paste the URL that you copied from Youtube and click on Embed.

    Behind the scenes, it will have stripped out some of what pasted and added Media to the beginning and the end.



    To test things out before posting, click on More Options.

    It will go to another screen and give you a choice for Preview. Click on that and it will go to another screen that gives a preview of what you are about to post with a box with your response underneath. If something doesn't look like you want it, go to the box with your post underneath and change it. Then click on preview again
    to see if things are how you want them to be.

    If you are trying to post a video and it doesn't look right, delete the earlier attempt and try again with the Media tool.


    Then

    Reply to Thread

    when you are satisfied with everything.

    Free Solo is the new standard. I don’t get it.
