Meanwhile, I'm worried about the MB YouTube links being blocked for some reason. For five days I've accessed MB via Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, but all YouTube links remain stubbornly backed out. I wonder:
i) how many other people are having this prob ?
ii) does Yac know about it ?
iii) is there any solution for computer-illiterate people like me?

I went to another forum yesterday and the Youtube videos weren't working there either. I guess it's a problem on Youtube's end.

why cant I see ****ty YT vids on this site anymore fix dis ****

Computer upgrade time.. if anyone has any thoughts/comments I'd appreciate it:

For those who were curious about using Excel to resize photos, here's a quick vid on how to do it. The video is a bit choppy due to how it was encoded, but these are the steps.

1) Open Excel.
2) Click on the "Insert" tab.
3) Choose your photo and click "insert."
4) Take one of the four corners and resize it. This keeps it proportional.
5) Once resized, right click and choose "copy." Or, you can use the keyboard shortcut of "ctrl + c."
6) Open MS Paint.
7) Use the keyboard shortcut of "ctrl + v" to paste the image into MS Paint.
8) Click the "crop" button to remove any excess bordering around the photo.
9) Save the photo: choose the file type you want, typically "jpeg." Then save the file to your desired location.

You could do other photo manipulation in Excel, but it's not shown here. Once you get used to this method, it's very easy and quick to do. Now, if there's a way to save an Excel image as a jpeg directly from Excel, without exporting it into another program, I don't know how to do it.

I wonder if OpenOffice has the same functionality...?

If serious: I dunno, probably has similar-but-different functionalities.
