Hi All
I've added (mp3,flac,wav,aif) files to the permitted files list.
I also increased the attachment size limit fro 2MB to 10MB per file/post
So you can attach e.g.  4 x 2.5 MB, 2 x 5 MB or 1 x 10MB
Cheers Richard

Hey Richard,

    Is there a way to attach or post videos, other than youtube?

    Thanks

Hey Harley, quick answer, probably, what do you want to attach ?
Longer answer  :wave:
Maybe  :dunno: , depends how you want to do it.  If you want to attach a different file type (than what's currently configured), that's reasonably easy to do.  I think the SMF forum program just blocks/allows on file extension (ideally it's smarter than that  :dunno: ). Obviously if someone wants to open the attachment they'll need the appropriate application for the file type. I wouldn't like/prefer not to open up .flv though (flash).  It's one of the most abused and used as an attack vector file types around. Shame as it's a useful video format.  We are getting closer though to no flash (.flv) as HTML5 get going...
Youtube seems to have embedding support with SMF (what the depot is built on, probably a HTML thing ( :bow: youtube  :bow: )), so you can embed the video in the post rather than attach it.  The main difference (apart from how it affects backend storage) is that guests can't see or access attachments, but I suspect (never tested it btw) they can click on embedded youtube  :dunno: .
