there are programs that allow you to download youtube clips to your PC but as far as normal youtube use, you can "like" a video it will then show up in your list of liked videos on your profile.

you can also subscribe to people so then when they upload a video it will let you know about it.

theres a few tricks in youtube, like for example, this is a link I get when I load a video from my profile

Code: [Select]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjNXyp2sdr0&list=LL0ix-SsnP5i_Keq0W0eKD0g&index=1
so to display this link in the forum you can remove the un-needed stuff to make it more streamlined, so this part of it is where we have to focus watch?v=hjNXyp2sdr0&list=LL0ix-SsnP5i_Keq0W0eKD0g&index=1

everything after the & symbol is not needed for the actual video link, its more stuff to display around it like list of videos to play after it etc ..... so for us we would remove everything after that to make it just this

Code: [Select]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjNXyp2sdr0
so the next thing to do is remove the https and make it just http

Code: [Select]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjNXyp2sdr0
and then if we paste this link below we have the following... the forum actually picks up on it and adds the required tags around it to display it along with the link at the bottom for it.

Post by: John Abbott on October 02, 2014, 01:48:20 PM: Hey Sammy ,,,what diff are you running in your gemmy? :)
Title: Re: VAN history
Post by: Sammy on October 02, 2014, 10:11:15 PM: originally it was a Gemini diff with the centre cut out and a commodore borg warner welded in and then commodore upper arms attached to the floor, but I have since upgraded it to also use commodore lower arms as I was having issues with the diff twisting up and hitting the floor with the Gemini arms (you'd understand if you know what the stockers look like)

the diff has then got a full spool and 31 spline axles.
