Hello, just to try to answer some of the hows rather than the whys<blockquote class="quoteheader">Woody the Moaning Marlow Meldrew wrote (see)</blockquote><blockquote class="quote">

Woody, a white space often appears while the video is being pulled in from YouTube, but it shouldn't stay there long. Could you let me know the YouTube link that you're trying to use? Here's what appears when I use the url fromthe top of the page on YouTube (in this case, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn73Wtem0No) : <div align="center"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="425" height="350"><param name="width" value="425" /><param name="height" value="350" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cn73Wtem0No" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cn73Wtem0No"></embed></object>

<blockquote class=quoteheader>Ed wrote (see)</blockquote><blockquote class=quote>and I don't think the 'message member ' thing works ............ Where's the "inbox" that is mentioned in the instructions/help guide</blockquote>

Sorry for the confusion: that will now follow next week. The Inbox link will then appear at the top of your member profile box, above My Details, My Profile etc. I'll post a message when it's live. The number of unread messages you have will appear next to the My Inbox link, eg

<u>My Inbox</u> (5)
<u>My Profile
My Forum</u>
etc

How to quote other people's messages<ul>[*]Click the quote button under a post you want to quote[*]A popup explains that to paste the quote into your message, you need to press the quote button on the message form. This popup has a 'don't show me this again' tickbox. [*]You can select multiple posts to quote before pasting them together. The quote button turns red under messages that have been selected for quoting, and you can deselect a message by pressing its quote button (now 'unquote') again.[/list]


Press this to copy a post:<div align="center">

Press this to paste it as a quote:<div align="center">
quotebutton-messageboxx142.gif






Here's how it looks:
<div align="center">

<div align="left"> <div align="left">
<ul>[*]Quotes from one thread can be pasted into another thread. A 'see' link by the quoted text takes readers back to the original post, whether it is in the same thread or not.[*]Your unpasted quotes remain available until they are pasted or until the end of your session, whichever is sooner[/list]<ul>[*]You can manually edit the quoted post once it's in your message form, eg if you don't want to quote the whole message[*]As mentioned above, it doesn't work with Safari (or Safari doesn't work with it) - sorry. All other current browsers should be fine, so if you have problems please report them)[/list]<div align="left">IF QUOTING STILL DOESN'T WORK:<div align="left">
  1. Please clear your browser's cookies. Your browser may have reached the limit on the number of cookies it will accept forom this site, in which case clearing them once will do the trick
  2. Your browser security settings may be set to restrict cookies from all sites, in which case, making this site a 'trusted site', if you have that function on your browser, is the safest solution. You can get more help with both of these things in the Help Guide

Sean,

I am still having trouble with the You Tube link, can you "test the line" again by perhaps posting a short film of two big fat naked birds wrestling in a bath full of cream doughnuts please!

Thank you , Deanos.

PS. MAKE IT SNAPPY...ME MAM WILL BE BACK FROM THE SHOPS IN HALF AN HOUR!
