Video Section
Just wondering if the video section will contain viewable videos, or just a Youtube Link. I cant access Youtube from work, its a blocked site. Thanks!
PS: Also, is there a PM (private Message) Section on this site?
Matt,
What is the file limit that we can post to the site? I know we can put stuff on youtube, but somebody (jason) doesn't have an account. His video is 150mb (thinking he has to reduce), but what is the limit? He has video of Mark and I racing as he is trailing us.. its cool...
Thanks -tony
Our Site isn't really setup for user videos, Uploading videos takes a large amount of memory / processor time when uploaded from the webpage (without researching alternative flash/java based uploaders), and disk space. With sites like YouTube, Vimeo, and others Hosting video for free, uploading it to one of those sites and embedding a link to it (youtube and vimeo should automatically convert links to embedded content) is the best solution at this point.
I know YouTube is blocked by some employers, to those people with restricted access can you get to sites like Vimeo, metacafe, veoh or others? Maybe we can find a site that everyone can see videos from?
Nice post Matt. Get the data out, offer solutions. Clearly this has been thought about and decided. Well done Reed IT dept.
The video section will eventually contain the links like the old site. It is just one of the many sections that still need to be finished on the site. For those interested I am also interested in building up our YouTube Library to match our site's library, Right now I just uploaded one video as a test and so I could set up the channel. This will also be getting updated more.
In regards to the Private Messaging under each person's name in forum posts there is a picture of a head with a cartoon text bubble, that lets you send a PM to that person. Your inbox is located under "Messages" in the Navigation menu (Which is labeled as your Username once you log in).
