For the longest time, the only way we could add videos into posts was to give the url for a video that was hosted on a separate site (like youtube.) I had tried several times to enable the ability to directly post videos to the forum. There are various settings and permissions to make it work, none of which seemed to make it work. Today, while searching for other information, I read a post where a forum owner was having the same problem. Well, turns out that after enabling videos and choosing size limits and giving all of the relevant permissions, admin needs to also set up the "editor" section to actually show the friggin button for adding video. I kinda thought that would show up automatically when one enabled videos. Yeah...nope.
Anyhow, what this all boils down to is that we should all be able to add videos of our car projects directly from our phones as easily as we would upload a photo. To add a video, just click the icon that looks like a little video camera with a plus on it.
I'm excited to finally have this (deceptively simple thing) solved.
Some videos still might not post if their format isn't on the list of accepted formats. I can add to that list if necessary. Let me know (anyone) if you have any problems.
Enjoy!
