can anyone explain how you get the youtube box to appear here? instaed of just having the link address?

Doesn't appear to be an option, flash and img tags don't work.

had a bad pc day, url works as below

on other forums it is normally the www.youtube.com link needed

I'm with you wendy, i am still coming out of the vinyl era, but getting there. Ok sammy, i watch a lot of youtube clips, diy and training, my Q. is how do you save a clip to a folder, say in you pics folder. I did the register thing, but never got to complete it, i love to hit brick walls at a certain point. lol

I am guessing your saying you have signed up to youtube so you can then upload your own content etc .....

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]

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.
