Hello everyone,
As an experiment, I've enabled uploading of videos to the forum on a 7 day trial basis. Videos usually have to be uploaded elsewhere and then reposted here - as a single video is several orders of magnitude larger than a high quality photograph. As technology continues to improve, and as storage becomes cheaper, it becomes more possible - and indeed those of you that can remember the distant past, we couldn't even allow photos to be directly uploaded. I will be keeping an eye on the storage that's used up by video uploads over the next 7 days, and if it's something we can afford, we'll most likely keep it enabled. The one restriction that I cannot change, is that these videos must be around 20MB (megabytes) in size, so they will need to be quite short.
