The url is the web address of the page the video is on. Look in the address bar of your browser. It will be something like https://www.somethingoranother. The one for your video is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVRB4G-FhfA

Can I follow on???

I have a photos question. Many of the photos I see embedded in threads are full size, glorious shots. All I can seem to do is attach a thumbnail. How can I embed photos in my thread (if I want to)?

Thank you!!

I browse to a photo I want to use. This one, for example.

Then I right click the photo there, and select "Copy Image Location" (I use Firefox. Internet Explorer probably has a similar thing) Some web albums have a "link to this photo" which does the same thing, just copy and paste the link they show.

Here's the link I copied: http ://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_wc7ef8CMbxA/Sz_BmsvQFWI/AAAAAAAAC7M/BH4UK4QPcEw/s800/IMG_6770.JPG

At my BF reply I click the Insert Image button and paste the photo link in the popup box. It's easy.

Here's that photo:
