If its the same as the truckload ive been dumped with recently, then check the darn status bar, and the address goes to an IP address, and not youtube.

Those emails have something along the lines of:

"Yo dude, why did you upload that video? Now everyone knows what you did friday night - {'youtube' link}".

I was going to suggest Photobucket but I see it's been acquired by the dirty digger. Whatever you do don't mistake http://photobucket.com with http://www.photobucket.co.uk. That one is just weird.

Edit: It gets weirder. You get an error if you click on the link but it works if you put the url into your browser address bar. I reckon it's a dodgy site.

@spottedcat: thank you.

I was going through the "My Account" link under "Main Menu" (left side bar), then "Edit Your Information" and just got the drop down list next to "Your Avatar".

Now I just have to find a place to host my avatar

The one I use on othe forums is 100x100 so I have to create a new one with 60x60.

Best regards.
