Test video load up from YT -

YouTube - Easy like Sunday Morning by: Lionel Richie

When I upload a Youtube link I just copy the entire URL in the address block. Copy and paste here, it just worked for me. I'll need to check on the imbedding feature since it did not imbed the video into the post just a link.:beatsme

This is a test to be able to post photos to the boards

once you get the manage attachments open, you have to choose the file, then also click the upload button. if your photo is too big, it will be rejected. 640x640 is the max size. i think at one point the forum use to auto resize photos, but that feature seems to be not compatable with the current forum layout.
