    Went to Youtube and wanted to save a video as a favorite. Got the error message for Microsoft Internet Explorer - need a valid email address...never had this happen before. Have linkstash installed (favorites manager) which has worked fine. What could be causing this? Thanks for any help...Michelle:confused:

    How do you do this? Or, you meant, saving a web page as a favorite?

    Clarificatin of Problem

    HI...when you go to Youtube you can save a video you watched to a favorites file on their site. Has nothing to do with internet explorer favorites. But still receiving the message INternet Explorer need a valid email address. Tried to contact Youtube but couldn't. Hope this clarifies my error. Thanks..Michelle

    Are you logged in with your Youtube membership when you get the error?

    Found the Answer - well two answers

    Even though I had the youtube account for three years it was telling me in its own way that an email confirmation for account registration never occurred. So I found confirm email button, confirmed email and it works now.

    What's strange is that before I found the data in the help pages...I reregistered in youtube using goggle signin with different name. No problem adding favorites and no confirmation email.
    Don't know why the registering a second time worked without the email confirmation and probably never will. Hopefully this post will help anyone else who experiences this problem and tries to work with youtube support which is really ugly. Thanks...Michelle
