Easy.

First, for youtube...copy the address line from the youtube page for that vid (while vid is running).

Then press the icon above the smilies that looks like a strip of film. Copy your address into the box that comes up. DONE.

Photos: press the 'insert image' button above the smilies. Press the 'select' files' tab on the box that opens. go to where the image is on your computer. Press 'open', and then press the upload file tab on the box. Job done.

For pics that you have stored on online storage sites like photobucket etc, just copy the 'direct' address for the picture, and paste it straight onto your post, with [img] in front of the pasted address and [(forward slash)img]after it, no gaps, square brackets.

I had to write the 'forward slash' in, to avoid making a proper link.
