link changed?

[momoffduty]

I copied and pasted the link to my video from the gallery to send to a friend. Now when I use the link, it goes to a different video. Is this because my video is now 2nd in the row? Where do I find the correct link info?

Sorry, not that comp. lit.

Ron posted something about that not too long ago but I can't find it. He will be around shortly to help.

You need to go to the page where the video is actually being shown. Then scroll down to the "File Information" area and you will find the exact link to your video where it says "URL:"

When you copy links from the thumbnails (for example, the WMV thumbnails) or copy/paste the link in your browser, this is not the link to your video. It's a numbered system in the database that gets incremented when another upload occurs. It's really hard to explain why it doesn't work that way.

I found it. If you actually play the video or open the image the resulting page has all kinds of information, including the file URL.

You can also turn the File Information on or off by clicking an icon on the toolbar at the top of the display.

Thanks for the step by step. I had to email my friends with a correction, they were directed to Wheat Kings last upload wondering who is this
