Maybe a way around would be to upload it to youtube then post the link in here to embed it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There should be an info panel somewhere on your phone that tells you how big the file is and it'll be a case of editing the video to bring it under the limit. As a rough guide 15mb is three music tracks or three unedited pictures on your camera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Just now, socks said: I can't see any info panel mate but the video is only 15 seconds long ..... Gotcha! It might only be slightly over the file limit as 1mb a second of footage sounds about right. I don't know a great deal about iProducts though so I couldn't walk you through where to find out just how big the file is. Sorry mate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,775 Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 I didn't realise it was possible before. It'd be quite useful. Is it a file type problem socks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Snap mate I can't add any pictures or vids now, we're as it was a piece of piss before the great update also alarmingly all the pictures I,ve ever posted come up if I press one option even pictures I deleted from my iPad months ago, as an old fecker I don't like change especially when there was nothing wrong with the old format Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,975 Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Having a look at the files you can attach it's only pictures and gifs. Doesn't say anything about video. Maybe it's a box that needs checking in the admin menu? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I ,m really low tech and have only ever had or used an iPad I could walk in the garden take a pic and stick it straight in to a thread now I can't access my photos or anything except the pictures I,ve used in the past, I,m not to worried as I,ve survived fifty odd years without it and will do in the future, but I just can't get my head round, why if it was working fine for everyone would you even think oh I know I,m going to change everything and really f**k them old technophobes up ? Another thing I strongly believe in is if it's not broke why try and fix it which seems to have happened here, oh well on with the real world 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Another thing I strongly believe in is if it's not broke why try and fix it which seems to have happened here, oh well on with the real world I get ya Greyman but I'm sure it came along with a necessary upgrade and we'll just have to get used to it. The administrator has an entire menu of functions that deal with everything from basic forum layout to exactly which smiley faces you can add to your posts. It's massive and extremely detailed. One of those options is what files you can attach to a post. It'll be a multiple choice menu that has individual boxes which need to be ticked. In this case, it either hasn't been ticked (most likely) down to he doesn't want us to post video (most unlikely.) It's a tiny needle in a massive stack of hay. With the change being quick and drastic I'm sure it's an oversite and normal service will be resumed soon. However, it might be worth posting some of these issues in their own threads in the Site Suggestions menu as the administrator will be able to address them quickly so they don't get lost in the usual GT stack of posts. One thread with 'I Cannot Access X' will be easier to resolve than a 300 page 'New Layout Issues' containing hundreds of posts with conflicting issues and information. K.I.S.S....
