G-Mail and Youtube

[Answerprancer]

Do they *have* to be intrinsically linked ?

I tried to open an alternative Youtube acct (over and above my existing one)
and it totally messed up my e-mail. I've sorted it out now luckily and everything
seems intact and back to normal.
The only way round this afaics is to use a different browser for the differen t
account.
Any advice for an alternative/simpler method would be gratefully received.

While Youtube and Gmail are, of course, owned by the same company, I'm also confused by your question, AP.

You don't need a Gmail account to open a Youtube account. If (for some reason that I can't fathom) you're having problems with your Gmail account, simply open a new email account with a different provider.

Ok..the simplified version! ...

I already have a G-Mail account / Youtube account.

I tried to set aup a NEW Youtube account.

Doing so totally messed up my existing G-Mail account (as it appeared to be trying to make me have a new one).

I already have - but it still conflicts with my (well established) G-mail account unless I use seperate browsers.

Easy to take stuff the wrong way on here ... a smiley paints a thousand words.

LOL @ the smiley face thing.
I do that all the time here to *try* and make it known that what I said wasn't meant to be taken too seriously/literally - it usually doesn't work because the person objecting is one of those sorts that *want * to get angry. AB/CB seems to attract them.
OMG, I hope I'm not one :-O

If we had 'proper' smileys, it would be slightly more obvious to all except the hardened naysayers, lol.
