IMPORTANT:- YouTube- Reminder/Request

[chester7777]

I was noticing that it is not uncommon for YouTube videos to become 'unavailable' for any number of reasons (usually due to a claim of copyright infringement). It is also not uncommon for the same clip to be available either again or elsewhere on YouTube.

If you notice that has happened, and you posted it, there is an "Edit" button you can click and go in and replace the old information with new. If you are unable to find a new link, you also have the option of choosing to delete the post.

If you come upon one that you have not posted, please let me or one of the other moderators know, and we'll see what we can do to fix it.

I've gone through and fixed a few, but it is a little time consuming. I will do a few at a time, as I am able.

I know what You are Talking About !

I had to take some of My Things that I had on YouTube Off, or they would Block me on YouTube !!

As per Chester's request.
I have been looking through the YouTube threads,and there are more and more
that are not available, various reasons.
If the posters of such, can edit them it, would be appreciated,
as the YouTube Sub-forum, could turn into a 'ghost' one!!

[ethanedwards]

Just to remind all posters in the YouTube forum,
that although the post might show a picture,
the link to the Video, in a lot of threads is not working
Will all the members who have posted Videos,
please check your YouTube threads to see if they are still fuctional!

[Stumpy]

Just out of curiosity, Keith, can you not delete the dysfunctional YouTube posts yourself?

Jim, I can delete, any of them,
and so of course, can the originating poster.
However, Chester's and my aim, is to give the opportuinty,
for the member, to re-instate, maybe with a different link,
of then maybe delete.

The problem will be, there are so many, now dysfunctional,
that it would make the whole YouTube forum look poor.

[ethanedwards]

Just to remind members, many of the YouTube videos are
for whatever reason, no longer available.
I have deleted ones I am aware of,
and would appreciate members notifying me here, of any others
they notice have gone.
I am afraid it makes the sub-forum look very 'sick'
but there is little point having links that are dysfunctional.

If members wish to post new workable links to any that have been deleted
please make new posts accordingly

I have not found the answer to this question: can we not put a video that would have saved on a personal server?
Thank you in advance

Not as far as I know, as the system needs an URL.
can you not upload the personal video to YouTube, or Flickr
or another host that would then enable an URL,
and then place it here?

[Romy]

Thank you, I'll give it a try with the addresses that I have ...

To see if members are interested in film clips of Maureen, I will leave links active for ten days ...
A priori, 48h are not enough!
Happy reading

Hey Romy, any reason why your not using youtube or similar video sharing site to host these?

It's a shame that these links die so quickly, and many will miss them in the future.

Kevin,
I asked Romy to do just that
YouTube- Reminder/Request

There are more and more YouTube videos vanishing from our posts,
as YouTube get hot on copyright infringement.
They are being threatened by Studios and TV companies
to clamp down on copyrighted material,
and you will note when uploading to YouTube that it warns of this.

YouTube
Important:
Do not upload any TV shows, music videos, music concerts or advertisements without permission, unless they consist entirely of content that you created yourself.

The Copyright Tips page and the Community Guidelines can help you determine whether your video infringes someone else's copyright.

By clicking "Upload Video", you are representing that this video does not violate YouTube's Terms of Service and that you own all copyrights in this video or have authorisation to upload it.

Please be warned, in some cases whole accounts are being deleted when in violation

May I suggest when uploading any video to YouTube
you check periodically to see if the link is still functional,
and if not try and source another one.
As a result of this clamp down,
our YouTube sub-forum is currently looking a little 'sick'

[Kevin]

Maybe we could use the dukewaynecom youtube account to upload them too.

Good point Kevin, are all yours still OK?
I notice your 'The Searchers' has already been blocked!

We could certainly upload them to there and use the link
