So geeky question about uploads. If I want to ad a short video in the future, say 'under 30 seconds or the little <15 second stuff? Is that possible? I've only ever done pics.....

Side note from Android/Firefox user...
The save draft while writing - is there a way I can change the time interval? I have officelibre backup & default save at every 2-3 minutes for our home-offixe PC's. Does this web software update have "this switch" or is it a "potentiometer"?

I think I figured it out. Less buttons are displayed on narrow displays, since we don't want the editor to be over 3 rows. I tried adding back the drafts button for mobile, let me know how it looks. Is it still under 3 rows?

Only two rows still!
Thanks for fixing it!!!

I just noticed something.
It says I'm watching this thread-

But when I go to it, it doesn't say I'm watching it.

I don't think I got an alert for it but it's higher on the list now...

While video directly uploads are technically possible with the software now, we have them disabled on BYC, because they'd probably take up a lot of server resources. It's best to just upload videos to YouTube or a similar site, and then embed them into your posts.

You can't change the interval yourself, but it's possible for us to change it if there is an "objectively better" interval.

Well, I’m only on page 39 (and my pages only consist of 8 posts, which could get confusing) out of a total of 67 pages.

I guess I had gotten used to seeing the total number of posts posted beside the individual posts. I’m gonna miss that. I can do quick math using a page of 10 posts, but I don’t think I’ll be as successful with multiplying by 8. <hangs head> Bummer!

ETA: My pages now have a total of 10 posts. I’m so happy. In my defense, you know, the 8’s multiplication tables were one of the hardest.

Ooohhhhhh, I'd love to set my mobile & desktop PC default to be 10-20 posts per page..... Is that something we can add to the wish list of 'switchs to tweak' in the near future???

Also... are the warnings public or only visible to yourself?

They are only visible to yourself and the staff, don't worry.
