Where you hiding at Orwell? Making your biggest fans go hunting for your music!

New? I swear I heard these two songs last month

Um, yes well. they were new on his facebook page, so I assumed they were new, new. Quite frankly therefore if you are looking for someone to blame Ally its Orwells fault.

Orwell has a facebook page?

Sort of....

Hmmmkay...

Not linked a YouTube video before, think this guy is great though so wanted to give it a go.



Didn't work.... how do I embed it?

see the film reel icon above where you write a reply? bung it in there. If I got it wrong, sorry in advance.

Sometimes even when you do put the link where Mrs Figg suggests it still doesn't work- when that happens you have to edit it in some fashion- Eldo has explained it, once or twice, but I can never remember how to do it.

You have to take out all the extra stuff in the URL aside from the default address for the video. Usually this just means taking off the "&feature=player_embedded" part, but in this case there's a little bit more. All you want is the bold part:

h++p://www.youtube.com/watch?list=TLi1Z_AOXaSBg&v=BfF4QLO-L_4&feature=player_detailpage

Ignore the plus marks, they're only there to stop this example from becoming a hyperlink. Naturally, you want "http" in your URL. In this case, the simplified URL looks like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfF4QLO-L_4

Once everything else is stripped away you're left with the following. All YouTube video URLs can be reduced to this, with the jumble of symbols at the end varying, of course. You then put it between [youtube] tags the way you did in your initial post, and you get this:

I remember helping Orwell with this on the old forum, and guess what, he stole ALL the glory!!

Also that is the most longwinded guide to posting a YouTube video I have ever seen

I've never exactly been known for my brevity.

That gets you the link, but I don't think youtu.be links work for video embedding. I'll try that now though.

EDIT: My mistake, it does work. Thanks Chris.

I'm not just a pretty face

That face has fooled more than one person on here if I recall correctly, though.

Have kept all the love letters for evidence

Who did it fool?

Have been sworn to secrecy

Sorry I asked

Don't you read the newspapers I so diligently break my back carrying here Ally?

One of the all time great songs.

Cheers everyone.. I'll find another video and give it a go later.

Downloaded one of that guys albums yesterday... its quite relaxing!

Röyksopp is one of my favourite bands. They are GREAT. and even better live

almost forgot, the best song! (though you have to ahve good speakers)

These made me laugh a bit. If you havent seen Predator or Aliens then not much point in watching them.
