    Is there a way to post a video directly from an I Phone to the site? I tried and got an error message.

    No, you'll have to upload to a YouTube or other video host account first. It would hog up a HEAP of storage space if we hosted videos on the site, and that would drive operating costs way up........I'm trying my best to keep the site more-or-less "ad-free" as it was never my intention to create revenue on the forums.......

    Fox, you can use YouTube Capture (free in the App Store) to upload directly to YouTube and then link to the vid here on the forum. If you use the short link from clicking Share on YT, the forum software will automatically embed the video in your posts.
