a step by step guide in one or two syllable words (or a crayon drawing/diagram) would suit me perfectly?

When you look at the icons above the box where you write a post, you've got bold, italic, quotes, insert hyperlink, insert image etc. Between the 'Insert Image icon (a tree) and the 'Quote' icon you will see something that look like 35mm film strip. This is what you need. Click this and insert your You Tube or Daily Motion link here and Voila! Bobs you uncle. pcguru

Oh, and don't use the embed code just use the url.

Thanks Maggie.

Time for a true story.

The Christmas before last, my sons asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I replied with "a can of Lynx body-spray" (here the advert was for Lynx)



So the little blighters bought me a large pair of Superman underpants!

How's that for gratitude?

I'm no longer able to embed youtube videos.This has been happening for a couple of months now.When I click the share icon for the URL,it shows up in very large print,and does not embed like it used too.I'm getting the feeling that Youtube has blocked me from embedding.Anyone else ever have this problem?

Here is a sample of the type of url I get.On youtube,it shows as very large print,and when I paste it here,it goes back to normal size.Also notice that "youtube" is broken up with a period.Any help is appreciated.....

Link works,but will not embed. Shrug

Now you tell us...no wonder my many attempts to embed failed. By the way what the 'f' does 'Bobs you uncle' translate into from Australian?

Keith, if you use the proper expanded link you will be able to embed the video. The original one you posted had http://www.youtu.bexxxxxxx but if you click that one you will get the proper http://www.youtube.comxxxxxxx link and this will work fine.
