  4. That's one of those perks for people with 100 or more subscribers:

    General eligibility requirements
    To create a custom URL for your channel, your account needs to:

    • Have 100 or more subscribers
    • Be at least 30 days old
    • Have an uploaded photo as channel icon
    • Have uploaded channel art
    In general, a YouTube channel may only have one (1) custom URL and custom URLs cannot be transferred or assigned to anyone.

    Ah, OK, not enough subs then I guess. I did not realize that, having not looked much deeper into the arcane youtube stuff than I've needed to in order to just post stuff, and to make it stop telling people I know IRL that my g-mails are from Tobho Mott instead of my real name. Thanks.

    Sounds like maybe you have a YT channel too; don't forget to post the link!

    Yeah I don't know why mine works that way... but I have heard of that 100sub thing for a "vanity" url. Stupid YT.
     
  7. It's one of those weird things nobody knows about until it actually occurs to them. I guess it makes sense from YouTube's point of view as all of these things translate into extra physical hardware.
    Had to poke around for ages to find the custom URL, it's down the bottom of the "Channel" and then "Status and features" tab if you have one:

    Took a few clicks to manage to find the regular url.

    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEOkiTi4pYB-oKHbLZTm-rg

    My channel uses my full name and changing it would also change my info on all my google services. I did give some thought to reinventing my "YouTube Image" with a different handle. Not sure how willing I am to put the time in to move over all the content though.

    Looks like I'm up to 94 subs now... whoo hoo

    Does the pin in this topic mean it won't self delete after X number of days without new activity like the others in this 'general chat' section?

    Hope so, I've had trouble finding some of you guys' channels (before subscribing), even when I knew exactly what they were called.

    Every once in awhile flyboy comes up with a good idea.... ;);)

    Posts here dont "self delete" But if its just senseless b/s there is no real reason to keep the information stored for eternity. :p:cool:
