We don't allow for uploading of pictures directly to posts from your computer. It's a space thing as well as a security thing.

thanks!!!
For the youtube, you just need the last bit of the youtube link. For example, if this was the youtube I wanted to post: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C7mNr5WMjA

then I would just put the 2C7mNr5WMjA in between the YouTube tags.
