Video location?

[Boink]

Is there a place for videos (or links to home-made videos)? Or would that just be in a media location?
I probably just space on this.

Not sure I understand your question. You can add videos to any post or to the Media section. For example, youtube - just post the URL in a post and your video will render when you save the post: (Note, if you add a picture or video to any of the marque-specific forums, that picture or video will automatically get added to the Media section.

When I posted a link to a video I'd made (in the Pub), you suggested putting it in a video section. "Hey, you can post that in the video section as well just for fun!" Not sure what that meant.

Well, that's a good question. First, notice we have a "Media" section now (See tab up in the main navigation menu). If you add a picture or a video to one of the marque-specific forums (Austin Healey, Spridgets, MG, etc), that picture or video will automatically get added to the appropriate category in the Media section as well - without you doing anything. However, not all forums are linked to the media section. (The pub for example). When you post a video or image in a non-marque forum like the pub, that picture or video does not automatically get added to the media section. However, you can always add media items (pictures, videos, etc) to the Media section manually and choose the appropriate category. For example, if you post a video in the media section related to the Spridget, and you choose the "Spridgets" category, it will post the item in the media section - AND it will automatically put a post in the Spridgets forum telling that group that you have added a picture or video to the media section (and it will provide a link).
