Its all messed up with Opera, nice try.

Who uses Opera ?

[ArnyVee]

I only have 0.37% of my visitors (that's less than half of one percent) using Opera. So, I'd take a shot if that was the only thing holding you back sensimilla.

I've got this one tagged as it looks like an interesting feature to add to our site.

Ok, I feel I installed this program right. But when I go to the "Video.php" url, I get this message below.



"MrMichigan, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation. "



I went to the "Videos" section in my Vbulletin admin and it says "yes" to active the genral category.

Only thing I see wrong is the hoster settings. It says under the youtube inc hoster "This hoster has no settings". I think I might have to reinstall this program and put in the right settings for the youtube settings. If so, what are the right settings? I just went with the default settings that showed up.

Here is a link to my problem: http://www.homeentertainmentclub.com/video.php

Thank you,
MrMichigan

Go To Usergroups and set permissions

[MrMichigan]

I feel like a ass. Thank you katie.

I thought it had something to do with this, but I was looking in the wrong usergroup to try to fix this. I was looking at where it showed all the usergroups with a check next to them in the "Videos" section in the admin.

That link is working. Now I just have to see if I can post a youtube video.

Thank you,
MrMichigan

I just downloaded and installwd in less than 15 minutes and it is awsome. What I woudl like to have a is a mod were I can place a link on the portal home page that draws the latest video upload to the portal to let members know that the latest dvd is uploaded similar to latest photo in gallery?

Not sure how easy this would be but what about a module for Vbadvanced CMPS that would allow a random video to be shown?
