How do I watch and save videos? Watching videos on UrPornTube is easy-just come to the site and look around, or search for subjects that interest you. Find a video that you'd like to save? Just click on "Favorites" to add a video to your list of favorite videos.

How can I embed videos from UrPornTube onto other sites? UrPornTube has many options to help you share your favorite videos. Simply click on any video and you can get the codes beneath the video player. Copy and paste the code from the “Embeddable Player” and add it to your MySpace page, Friendster, Blogger, Xanga, or even to your own website. You can also use the video URL code to email, link, or IM any video.

What are tags? Tags are keywords that describe videos. For example, a surfing video might be tagged with "hardcore," "sex," and "blonde." Users who enjoy watching surfing videos can then search for any of those terms and that video will pop up in their search results. Tags help you find new videos you might like to watch, and also help you label videos you upload so that other people can find them more easily. The bigger the tag appears in the list, the more videos use that tag.

What do I do if I forgot my username and/or password? There is a link directly under the login box on UrPornTube’s home page called "Retrieve User Name and Password." Click here and enter the email address that you used to create your account, then click submit and the information will be emailed to you.

What video file formats can I upload? UrPornTube accepts video files from most digital cameras, camcorders, and cell phones and recommends movies in .wmv format. avi, .mpg, .mpeg work as well, but there are currently issues with preview thumbs. We do not guarantee that other video formats not listed will work.

Do I have to sign up to upload videos? Yes. Since videos are attached to your profile, you must sign up as a member to upload videos. Becoming a member also allows you to save videos, create play lists, and leave comments, among many other features.

How big can my video be? There is a 50 MB limit of any video on UrPornTube.

Is there a limit to how much I can upload? We don't limit you on the number of videos you upload. So upload as many videos as you'd like-it's more content for the UrPornTube community to enjoy!

How long do my videos stay on UrPornTube? Videos stay on UrPornTube until the members who uploaded them choose to take them down. Videos which violate the terms of use or inappropriate will be taken down by UrPornTube without further notice.

Uploading Videos: To upload your video at UrPornTube, log in at the site, and click on the link titled "My Video." Now click on the right side link titled "Upload Video." Fill out the entries on the form however you would like. Click the "Browse" button on your computer to view all files. Find the video file you would like to upload to UrPornTube. When you find that file, highlight it and click on "Open" or "Select." The title and location of your file will be entered in the upload form. Complete the remaining entries as you like, read the posting rules, and then click on "I Agree, Upload My File" or "Cancel" if you decide not to upload it.

How Long Will Uploads Take? The amount of time it takes to upload depends on the speed of your computer and Internet connection. When completed, you will see a screen that says "Congratulations, your upload was successful." After this, UrPornTube will process your file and as quickly as possible make it visible in your personal video archive file. You will receive an email confirmation immediately when this occurs. You can then see your video, invite others to view it, or go on to the other steps to link your video to other websites for viewing there.

My video is taking a long time to upload. Is something wrong? Generally, if you have a high-speed internet connection you can expect the upload to take somewhere between 1-5 minutes for every 1MB. However, the experience is different for every user because of the variation in connection speeds. If your video is very large, it may take a long time to upload.

The videos won't play-what's wrong? All of the videos on UrPornTube are streamed through a Flash player, so you need to have the latest version of Macromedia Flash installed on your computer. To download it, please visit Adobe at http://www.adobe.com .

It keeps asking me to login, what should I do? Make sure you have cookies enabled in your browser preferences. If you have cookies disabled, there is no way for our system to know you were at the site before, and you will be asked to login.

The video keeps stopping while I'm watching it. How do I fix that? If a video doesn't play continuously it may be due to your connection speed. You'll need a broadband connection (i.e. DSL, Cable) for an optimal viewing experience.

Why can't I hear the audio when I'm watching a video? To make sure that you hear sound while watching videos, please check the volume controls on your computer. Also, be sure to increase the volume on other conventional video players on your computer, such as Real Player or Windows Media. This may have an effect on your computer's master volume levels. Next, check to see if your system meets these requirements for running the Video Viewer:

Macromedia Flash Player 7.0+ plug-in
Windows 2000 or higher with latest updates installed
Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
Firefox 1.1+, IE 5.0+, or Safari 1.0+
Broadband connection with 500+ Kbps

If your system meets all the requirements, but the Video Viewer still isn't working properly, please try troubleshooting with a different browser. Also, please test the audio on multiple videos.
