Hey Dick, still can't figure out how to post a youtube video & you are the number one poster among members.

I guess I'll have to admit that the Brain Injury that almost killed me (when I was run down by a drug dealer, in my efforts to defend my country against the scourge of illicit drugs as A Special Agent with the DEA, put me in coma for many weeks & has left me permanently disabled since 12/89) makes it difficult for me to perform some technical, computer related actions. Now if you want to poke fun at me for that...........(Hey...If John McCain can use his POW experiences as an excuse for every failing of his...... )

You wrapped it in a code tag, the code tag is for displaying code like php, the reason I wrapped it in the code tag in my example was so you could see what it should like. Just use the text inside the code box.

It's really easier than you think........
1. Goto the to youtube sight & copy the url to your clipboard ( Ctrl C)
2. Just type in what you want (in the body of the post below the Subject)
3. touch the youtube button (top right)
4. Paste (shift Insert) it in
Done
