Youtube is a huge repository for video links.
Youtube doesn't require that you download "sneaky" software like RealPlayer.
Youtube has a better "search" feature than most other video sites.
People like videos.

6. Nothing other than I'm at home w/dial up and can't watch any of them |
|
I like the gentle suggestion below, give a description of what those of us who cannot watch would be watching if we were able to watch :shrug:

I just wish people would note that in the subject line for those of us with dial-up. It takes me so long to view even a short video that I seldom bother.

5. If you see "youtube" in the link address, and are using a dialup connection, |
|
then maybe you shouldn't click on it.

8. God, everyone's a smartass |

I don't click on them. And I realize it's not a huge time-consuming thing to click on a thread only to find it's something I can't access (though it's more time-consuming for someone with dial-up than otherwise). Nor was my remark in any way rude or unreasonable.
It's just a matter of courtesy, which is so often lacking. :nuke:

12. I like your suggestion |
|
Cuz dial-up is my problem and when I click on threads that say..."look at this"...and instead of a photo there is only a Youtube link it's a bummer. x(

13. I honestly wasn't trying to be a smartass. |
|
That's hard to believe, coming from me, innit?
I just thought that I was offering some helpful advice.

Way back when I was using dialup, I learned to avoid audio/video/graphics-intensive links, unless I had something else to do for an hour or two. I realize that lots of folks are unable to have a high speed connection due to finances and/or availability.
