In video.php (Index page of this script) in Description of the video Images such as smiles are not showing as picture, just the letters, is it possible to make it show the images?

Thanks,

This is intended - if we wopuld parse images, it would not be able to cut the descriptions without creating html errors

I uninstalled this mod... now I wish to re-install it... however, its not giving me the prompts and questions after the installation like it did the first time... So I can't add any hosting services...

*EDIT*... nevermind... I got it working...

Where do I edit the categories?

Via the ACP?!

(Maybe you have to refresh your site )

[Jaxel]

Yeah... I had to refresh the ACP... Looks great!

Anyway... is there a way... instead of the contributor links going to that person's profile, could we get each contributor to have a full list of contributions they have made? I want people on my forum to be able to search by the contributor as well...

I also updated the youtube code to support HD video (fmt=22)
