I can't weave a basket but I can solve a lot of PC problems.....and if I can't ...there is a lot of guys on here that can.

In other words....trying to give back

because I have gotten so much from you guys.

Thanks

OK; I'll take you up on your "help" offer. On this thread > http://projectavalon.net/forum/showthread.php?t=17636 ~~ you can see what I was trying to do. In post #2 Karen picked up on my edit difficulties, etc. And she just went ahead and did it for me, and her instructions in post #2, I've not been able to decipher. Still trying. I'm going to start a post on this thread, trying to install the same vid from YouTube, again. Maybe doing some things that I can ascertain from Karen's instruction. We'll see what happens.

"....You take the video number wynYMJwEPH8
and you put it between [youtube] and [/*youtube]
TAKE OUT THE *. I put it there so it did not code to a blank youtube page.

............this ain't gonna work; WHAT IS SHE SAYING??!! (??) youtube and youtube on each side of the address..........I'm gonna try it another way. And keep previewing to find out if it can come up in the preview. One other forum I'm on a lot (a motorcycle forum)~~I've done quite a few photo images from web hosts on that forum, and when you preview the post, you don't get the pic~~but, yeah, the address and codes are all there~~you just have to guess and hope that it does go thru on the final submit of the post..........and it always does, now.

Code:

youtube

wynYMJwEPH8

.....ok; I guess I'll have to submit this; maybe it's not gonna show up on the preview. (the pic at the start of the vid)

To insert a youtube video into a post:

insert the file number of the video between the youtube tags
For example the link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_Y26JNd3g4

then the file number is Y_Y26JNd3g4

so typing the text-->

gives you this:

Make sure there are no spaces.

To enter a photo from the web click

in the edit window and enter the full address.
If you want to post your own photo you need to upload to your personal album and then link it the way i described above

You can create Albums of images that are linked to your public profile. Albums can be created by visiting the User Control Panel, and clicking on the 'Pictures & Albums' link, and then clicking on 'Add Album'. Each album can have a title ('Joe's Holiday to Nepal'), a description ('A bunch of photos from my recent adventure') and can be of three different types: Public, Private or Profile.

Public albums can be viewed by anyone
Private albums can only be viewed by site staff (moderators, administrators) and your Friends and Contacts (info)
Profile albums are viewable only by you. However, you can use the images to customize your public profile (info)

Hope this helps

No

Click on the edit button on your last post here and look at the line below MOD EDIT and you will see how its done.

It looks like this-->

all typed out, no need to click the HTML button or any other.
That was only to show you the code but only confused matters apparently. Just type what you see in the example above.

If you still have problems click on the chat link in my signature and come see me there for live help.

It WORKED. YES!!!!!!!! I THOT YOU HAD TO USE THE CODES UP AT THE TOP.
ANYWAY; a BIG FAT "THANK YOU"! to the three of you that had the patience to stay with me, and get it done. "Karen", "S1965", and "Gaia" .

I feel like I've scaled Mt. Everest!

[noparse][youtube]Y_Y26JNd3g4[/youtube][/noparse]

so you get the exact code people are supposed to copy and paste, without any hack like adding spaces or using the html tag:

[youtube]Y_Y26JNd3g4[/youtube]
