iPhone and forums for dummies

So I'm the dummy and need some help. The biggest thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to repost something like say a YouTube video. There is a button to click for sharing but it doesn't give me any codes like on my pc just options to favorite it or tweet it. I'm stuck doing all my interwebing from my phone now and need some help to say the least.

When writing your post and between the 'YouTube TAGS' type the 'Videos ID' which usually is shown at the end of the pages (video's) url ...
... This should create a viewable youtube vid within your post Hope it helps - w00d

e.g

Typing exactly as shown: [nobbc][youtube]01kWAiuL500[/youtube][/nobbc]


Video's ID shown in BOLD --->

The above is a link I can get in a round about way but I don't see where you are finding that smaller code you posted between the tags. When I click the share button I get only 2 options. 1 is to mail a link and the second is to tweet it? If I click on the mail link button I can copy this out of it:

Check out this video on YouTube:

Sent from my iPhone

From the link provided the code your looking for this time is near the middle, shown in bold

Hmmm well how do you know what part to copy? Is there an easier way to find the code than clicking on the mail link button? I miss my pc  :-[.

From here I'm clicking share


Then from there I click mail link


Then I get here to this code


And also thanks for the help with this.

I can't help ya finding a good or easier link to work from but if it helps you finding the code within a particular link ...

... at the beginning of the code there's always an 'equal' sign (=) and at the end of the code there's always the 'and' sign (&)

e.g: Shown in red and the 'code' is shown in green

Yeah sorry but I don't know the iPhone well enough, coding on the forums is no problem though

So I'm having problems loading pics from my iPhone all my pics I take with gfs phone and then upload there is no option in my phone to resize images it just take all pics at one resolution any help here

What problem are you having uploading photos from your iPhone? What iPhone do you have (3g, 4, 4S, 5, etc.)?

I have the iPhone 4 and it says file size are to large to upload be can't change setting on phone to take smaller pics

I searched the iPhone App Store and found several apps that can help you rezize photos for you which will allow yoou to upload them.

Here is a link to some free apps:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/resize-photo/id426754772?mt=8

This one looks simple but limited to a few sizes

There are even more that can do the job both for purchase and free.
