Need computer help before I can contribute much here

#1 Unread post by OregonMike »

Hello,

I'm just barely computer literate enough to find this and get on here. I watch the YouTube videos but I cannot ask questions or reply to comments because a screen comes on showing a bunch of blank computer monitors and says a name has not been established for this account. I have no idea what that means! I can reply to lots of others, just not to Coin Help U! What am I doing wrong? What can I do about it? I have lots of questions and comments but I can't contribute. Someone, please, help me figure out how to respond to the Coin Help U videos. I tried the recommendation I found on YouTube but it said to go to certain things that my pages don't show. For example, it says to go to "my account" at the top of the screen, but there is no such option at the top of my screen. I'd really like to interact with Daniel and some of the other contributors. HELP!

I don't know what it means either. You might check with someone local that can look at your computer.

Hello OregonMike,

From what you have posted, I think that you mean that you can't post a comment on YouTube videos. Is that correct? Keep in mind that posting a comment on YouTube requires you to have a account name and to be logged onto it before you can post a comment. There are some videos that have comments turned off and you will not be allowed to post a comment there. If your post is not about posting on YouTube or you have other questions please let me know and I will try to help out. Not sure if I can, but I will try.
