That was brilliant.

Incidentally, I had an email on the 5th of April, from a foreign music site that I use occasionally, wishing me a happy April Fools day. Very odd !

Hahahaha...Bruv we have finally connected on humor! (That may be an April Fools joke in itself!:)) I was going to post this video of the Professor and class and the fake pregnancy call. The best thing about the video...other then the laughs was that the Professor had a great sense of humor! :yh_rotfl

remove the 's' from the 'https://...'

Bruv · Post by **Bruv** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 7:47 am

I always remove the 'https://' completely.

And that's another question, why is that included when making links, I always take it out.

Post by **LarsMac** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 8:45 am

Don't remove it, completely. Just take the s out of it.

the 'http:// is required to tell reader's browser what protocol to use to retrieve the linked reference. But with the 's' it is told to use secure protocol. When I sign in to Youtube, and copy a link, the link is automatically a secure protocol. So the link I post here will be https:// as well. but since FG is not securely connected to Youtube, it cannot pass the secure access to the readers, here.

so if I just post the link here,

notice the https in the link, and result is:

Now if a reader is also signed into YouTube, they can click that link and will be able to view the video, but if they are not, they will get an error.

But I remove the 's'

and :

OK I got it now.

Was the video meant to tell me something? lol or something.

I have never took out the s, and have succesfully posted videos before, and as I said I always clear the pre loaded prefixes whatever I link to, be it a site of a video.....strange ain't it?

No message. I just plucked a video off the front page of YouTube for demo.
