I have seen that on alot of people profile, they have youtube vidoes, pictures etc. Please can someone explain how to do this, i would really appreciate this . Thank you

certainly!
To place a photo into your profile, or the forums, you'll need a valid URL, let's use one from interpals as example:

Code:

http://ipstatic.net/images/logoforums.png

Now, there are two ways you can do this, HTML and BBCode. I'd suggest, for interpals you stick to BBCode, here's how you do it for both:

For BBCode:

Code:

[img]http://ipstatic.net/images/logoforums.png[/img]

For HTML:

Code:

<img src="http://ipstatic.net/images/logoforums.png">

Both options, will display the photo here on the forums, but only BBCode will show a photo on your profile. The HTML version, is great for the forums, for sharing screenshots, or images larger than the border of the forums, you can add specific tags to shrink down the size of the photo, or other things like "alternative text" an example could be like:

Code:

<img alignment="center" src="http://ipstatic.net/images/logoforums.png" width="750" border="0" alt="Forum_Logo">

but this version, will not work on your profile.

<hr>For youtube videos, you need, again, a valid youtube link, let's use the link to one of my favorite songs,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG9qlKEyV4E

to make the video display in your profile, take the string of letters/numbers at the very end,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG9qlKEyV4E
and put it into the following BBCode tags:

Code:

[youtube]GG9qlKEyV4E[/youtube]

You may see, profiles with youtube videos that "autoplay" to do this add "&autoplay=1" to the very end, where the number one will be the amount of times it'll loop (I suggest you keep it at 1)

Code:

[youtube]GG9qlKEyV4E&autoplay=1[/youtube]

Thank You

thanks a lot i can now add a picture or a video

I have read the reply on how to post You tube to the profile. My question is if I manage to find the BB code to paste, where do I go to paste the link so that when people come to my profile they can hear the song. [/url]

You can post it anywhere in the "about me" section of editing your profile. Put it in any of those boxes, and it'll show up on your profile.

Thank you very much for helping me solve the problem. Now I have managed to have my favourite song from youtube now. Now another question is I have noticed that some people when you click at their profile, they have ongoing music on that means we do not have to click the link to hear the song...how do you do it? Thanks in advance.

Ok..I managed to solve the problem...I have added autoplay to one of my songs..
