OK Mods...Heres one for ya..

I can get a U-tube link to post but would like to be able to post the actual screen shot...I cant seem to do it...Does it have to do with the fact that HTML is off??
It seems to work..

OK..

#1 On You Tube right click over video's the thumbnail and select "copy image location" (I use Mozilla and in right click it offers this. Internet Exploder does not:confused: USE MOZILLA! It's faster, safer, has more features, including built in spell checker, and it's FREE!!:dance:)

#2 Next, back in SBO, click the
icon and paste this image address into the address bar but first remove the http:// that is already there.

#3 The image should show up in the post message box.

#4 Go get the URL for the video (when it's playing) from your browsers address bar.

#5 Left click on the picture you already posted into the message box and you'll see squares at each corner.

#6 Click the
icon and paste the videos address into the hyperlink web address bar, again, removing the http:// already there.

Done...

Basically what I have tried befor but just a little differently and What you see above is all I get..

The copy function is not picking up the image..I have to use copy shortcut to pull out the URL..and still no picture just a box with the four corner already highlighted..of course I sill completed everything you said just to make sure.

Great explanation Main but it still isn't happining for me.:cry:

Im going to go back and try an ordinary jpeg image and see if i can attach a u-tube link to it.

The copy function is not picking up the image...
The "Copy" or "Copy Image" function and "Copy Image Location", in Mozilla Firefox are totally different. You want to use "Copy Image Location" not the others. Copy Image Location finds the invisible, to you, URL of that image so you can link to it. You're not copy and pasting the image itself you're only linking to it..

Do you use Mozilla as your browser?

Click on Picture..:)


We did it!! from Internet explorer also. ( right click on the picture you want , click on properties, and copy the url from the properties window, paste that in the little mountain button back at SBO, then the rest is the same as Main spells out )

I just had the most wonderful conversation with one of our own..MaineSail..

What a supper guy..Hope to meet him some day..And he has a standing offer to sail on my boat any time.

Thanks Main...I'll be sailing all winter if your out this way...:)

Re: OK Mods

Are you doing the Youtube capture with a screen shot? And if so, are you saving the screen shot as a jpeg? You should be able to up load as a regular image off you hard drive. Can you give just a little be more info. Maybe send me the image or link so I can play around with it.

We were just linking to the video's thumbnail image on YouTube than making the linked image a "link" on SBO.

Does YouTube allow screen shots while running the video? I tried and I get no right click option that would allow it?
