Ive installed this and had it up and running for about a week now. Great mod! A suggestion I would like to make for a future version would be to set the comments up so that they look like a post in a thread with avatar and all (html markup, rank images, etc - no sigs). Kinda like a little postbit_legacy or something. Another one I think would be useful would to have a "Last Comment By: USERNAME" on each video when your looking through the category. Just a couple suggestions.

Comments are comments - and not posts. Information like postcount etc aren't needed there. MABE I'll integrate the avatar-display.

@Last Comment By: Maybe I'll do this.
I agree with posts/comments separation.
Surviver, a user video search would be a cool addition too. When you click on username on the video page it would display his videos. Just like you plan to add the Tab in User Profile.
1) How can I place videos on my front page of my forum? Like say I just want to list 1 or 2 random videos (small size), how can I put them somewhere other than the video area (what is the code I'd use)?
2) How can I change the embed color (you have it as blue right now) you have for the video's as it doesn't match my website at all (what file)?
The detail template shows an "if show bbcode" code, which doesn't show. Any idea how to show it? I think it is more convienient than to show an embed code.

That's a "pre-implementation" - it's not a default feature, but you can enable it with just a couple of lines: You just have to add a function fetch_bbcode to all videohoster classes. But that "Feature" isn't supported.

Thanks and great mod.
1.) You'd have to write your own code for this or you could use the vbcms-Module Code.

A profile block will hopefully be integrated in Version 1.2.0.
