When I noticed you had problems posting a link to a YouTube video, I thought I would tell you all what I do when I have the same problem (hope I am not teaching people to suck eggs).

From time to time my iMac decides that it will not let me use the "share link" feature in YouTube to post in this forum.

What I do is:

In YouTube, click the 'Share' button.

Then click on the 'Embed' button.

This will show a box with some text highlighted in blue in my case (see below example). This text can be copied and then placed into your GaGa post using the 'HTML' icon.

Example: " <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/v5N46p2aU68" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> "

If you have as in my case written some text before you click on the HTML icon, you will need to scroll to the end of the existing text before pasting.

I have used this method to post the excellent song by OMD below.

Hope this is of help to some of you.

That method seems to work quite painlessly.

Now, how to explain to the WHOOSHY ones?

When you open a video on You Tube there are boxes under the video window, click on the one that says 'share'.

More boxes open, click on the one that says 'embed'

Another box opens - this one hasHTML stuff in it - highlight(if its not already highlighted) and copy (Ctrl+C) it.

Open a reply box here and click the little 'HTML' on the top line (rightmost icon) and paste (Ctrl+V) the HTML stuff into the box that has opened then click on 'insert' at the bottom left.

You should now have a yellow box in the reply box.

Add any comments and submit.

I would never call anyone thick when it comes to I.T. stuff. There is so much to know. I'm always asking and learning. I hope it has helped you. EFFT appears to have given it a go with success.

Have you decided what you're going to do? I'd be tempted to go for the cheap removal, unless it is a front tooth.

I'm thinking of going for the crown, even though it's expensive I just don't want a hole there.
