Odie, I'm sorry...don't know what you mean...

Peope are using "copy/paste" as a term to mean something special instead of what it really means, which is something general.

In Windows there's a clipboard. Anything text or graphic, but NOT anything video, can be stored there to transfer it from one place to another. The text or graphic has to be highlighted and then selected (either in the Edit pull-down menu or with the mouse or with the keyboard Ctrl-A - if it's text it usually turns blue), it has to be copied to the clipboard (either in the Edit pull-down menu or with the mouse or with the keyboard Ctrl-C), the cursor needs to be clicked to where the new copy is to be placed and finally the clipboard content has to be pasted into place (either in the Edit pull-down menu or with the mouse or with the keyboard Ctrl-V).

If it's the URL of a youtube clip and you paste it into a post then you end up with a hyperlink to the youtube clip like YouTube - Alcohol / Skin and Bones - The Kinks Rainbow Theatre London 1977. That's what you get when you copy either the browser link text area content or the youtube "URL" field from the right hand side of the screen.

Just under the URL field on the youtube page is one called "Embed". If you copy/paste that into your post instead, you get a playable window in the post. It won't work in ForumGarden > Science & Technology > Computers & Internet because this forum area isn't enabled for embedding. It has to be one of the forum areas under "My Favorite Videos: Sourced from YouTube, MetaCafe, etc. No auto-play postings please."

As far as the suggestions go,

• I've tried clicking and right-clicking on the youtube picture, I can't get any copy/paste functions that way so I can't "just click on the youtube and copy/paste to FG" either.
• The only use of the word "upload" that I'm familiar with involves transferring the entire video clip, not just a pointer to it.
• I don't know what an adobe is.
• The words "mail" and "email" don't exist on the youtube page. "where is says, send to an email" must be on a youtube page I can't find.

Ok, I tried embedding a youtube in January and failed....now I'll try one more time.

I think I'm doing things correctly.....I copy the embedded form in youtube and paste it into FG in music and all I see are words not the live Youtube....

html is off....is that hampering the live window?

I'll go now and try it here...post 2367...last post...
What are you listening to right now


Just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong....Thanks for any help.
