After you find a U-Tube video you would like to use, go to "User CP", and then choose "Edit you Details." At the bottom of the page it will say, "YouTube URL" , this is where you must paste the U-tube address, or URL, but it needs to be slightly changed before posting.

You have to do two things; first you have to totally remove the word "watch?" Secondly, you need to replace the "=" with a slash like this "/".
Here's a sample of an address:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFCnvH2E-6A

After you remove the word "watch?" and replace the "=" with a "/". You will have this address:

http://www.youtube.com/v/oFCnvH2E-6A.

Then just title the U-tube and put "&autoplay=1" in the slot provided if you want it to automatically play when someone opens your page. Press "Save Changes" and you're all set. See the picture for more details.


I have a question can videos only be put on our profile page once downloaded to utube? I have a video that I had down loaded to Dropbox.com. from my camera to my computer to dropshots. and I cant find the vidoe that I had saved on cd. Id really like to have this video put on my profile page but Im at a loss at how to do it, I did resave it to my computer from that site but now that I have it I get an error saying I cant open it.that it needs to know what program made it. I did the video from my camera. so I dont know. Im on dial up so that sucks even more. heres the video Im trying to use.
