I can see a video, or did you post this through Chrome?

well it's there cuddles !

I'm confused!

In ANY browser you simply need to go the the Youtube page, right-click in your browser's address bar (to highlight the address) and select Copy. Then come to an AB post, right-click in the 'Enter YouTube Link Here' box and select Paste. Add some text in the usual place and hit Submit.

On your previous question you were confusing the address bar with the tab title - does that apply to this problem too?

[berniecuddles]

this was by chrome

[berniecuddles]

right have just gone to firefox in the firefox tab it says
bloodhound gang-the bad touch-you tube
that's it there is no url anywhere?

[bibblebub]

You don't get the url from the tab* - it's in the address bar.

* unless you use the add-on I suggested earlier, which will give you a "Copy Tab URL" option (as well as letting you set tab sizes).

Underneath that tab title you should see 'www.youtube.com/watch?v=xat1GVnl8-k' in the address bar. That's where you right-click and select Copy, as per my post above.

hi chris there is nothing under the tab what am i doing wrong,if i switch back to chrome there is no problem

I open a new tab and play the start of the video, and then copy and paste (From the very top of the page). Thusly (Hopefully, more like.....)

[bibblebub]

Right click in a blank part of the tab bar and one of the toolbars you should see listed is "Address/search"; make sure that it is ticked (by clicking on it if it isn't).

[Buenchico]

You've lost the navigation toolbar, Bernie!

Right-click on a blank space in the grey area towards the top right of your screen. Click to put a tick next to 'Navigation toolbar'. Now what we've all been saying, above, should make starting making some sense to you!

Have a look at this pic, bern. See if it helps (You copy the text from inside the red oval)

You can see I've got the tab with the YouTube video still open.

[berniecuddles]

[berniecuddles]

[factor-fiction]

If you paly the video can you not right click and select the 'copy URL' option?

[berniecuddles]

ff nope no url i'm missing the bar circled in stepheh g's link

[factor-fiction]

I didn't mention a bar, bernie. Right click on the video when it's playing.

Press F11.
I think your in 'full' screen mode.
