I've gone to YouTube and gone to a video I wanted to post. Up at the top, I think they call that the ULR, where it has a Lock symbol followed by Youtube.com I've tried copying, tried clicking twice and copying, hitting "select" then copying--whatever I try when I try to post it here at WoV I get the LAST thing I posted a link to on this site, not the youtube video. I have an i-phone 4s. Any help would be appreciated.

It's called a URL - Uniform Resource Locator.

If I remember correctly, the URL will have something in it like ?v=XJSHFKSND. And maybe more text after it. If there's an ampersand ( & ), then don't copy that, since the text after the ampersand is a data for another variable.

Copy the text after ?v= and paste it here, in a YOUTUBE code. Like:

[youtube=XJSHFISNFN]

And it'll show up as a video here.

I'm not seeing that. I just see the pad lock and it says Youtube. Then when I click on a video, I'll touch the URL which says hhtps://youtube.com/watchblablabla. I can highlight it, copy it, paste it, select it--it doesn't matter. Two things that are weird is that there's a lock and https which makes me think that it's copyrighted o something. But the main thing is is that I can't open another browser on my i-phone because I get all my icons popping up when I hit copy, select, or such.

I can click on the icon for WoV but it's not another browser. And the only other option is to click cancel, which opens the browser up, but then I've probably cancelled my copying of the thing I want to copy.

I have no problem with my computer getting a link to a video, only my i-phone.

Testing ...
AP - It's not that it can't be done, but rather people don't really have a clue as to the level of fanaticism and outright obsession that it takes to be successful, let alone get to the level where you can take money out of the casinos on a regular basis. Out of 1,000 people that earnestly try, maybe only one will make it.
