    If you've downloaded it, you might not able to link it. But if it's on YouTube, simply copy and paste it from the address or from the right side to the video it gives you a little box saying URL - that would be your link. Apologies in advance if this is not what you were looking for :o

    Hi meher, thanks but what I am actually looking for is how to link a video from another site to this one to continue a thread. You know where people say look HERE and the here is in blue, you click and you are on the video, or how to get the url for a video on another site and post it here so that other people can view it.

    Please can anyone help?

    I see, that's simple

    > step one copy the link

    > step two write down HERE on the post

    > step three highlight HERE

    > step four click on that createlinkrz7.gif chain on the top which says insert link

    A box pops up

    > step five delete http:// from that little box

    > step six just paste the link into the box

    > step seven just say OK

    Done

    Goodluck :kiss:

    Welcome babes, my pleasure - it's the first time since I've joined I've become useful for a fellow MSEr. I think I should wander into Glad's pub and celebrate. And Elfy better behaves herself :rolleyes: :D
