My forum recommendations - video feature removal

[Miami Reef]

Here’s my suggestion: remove the function that allows members to upload videos from their camera roll directly to the forum.

90% of reefers (including @Jay Hemdal ) cannot view the videos members post through the forum, and it complicates the fish diagnostic process because the OP thinks we can see it.

For fish emergencies, we need members to post the video correctly the first time, if not, they need to use the photo feature instead as that’s better than an unavailable video

Another alternative is to figure out why the video function isn’t working and to fix that issue.

Thanks.

What browser are they not showing up in? I've not had any trouble viewing them in Google Chrome.

They don't show up in Safari for me. I always have to switch browsers to Chrome if I want to see them.

I personally use safari, but a lot of members also have trouble seeing them.

Can you try a different browser? I believe safari was the one giving people issues. Try Chrome and see if it works.

Personally, for me, they never work on my phone. I can almost always see them on the computer, but let's be honest, my company tracks what I do on my laptop but not my phone, so 90% of the time, when I am on here, it's on the phone.

Its weird, im always on my phone using chrome and sometimes they work sometimes they dont.

I switched the google chrome (on iPhone) and the issue still persists.

I use safari on my phone and they never work. Chrome on my phone is a 50/50 shot. The YouTube videos show just fine though in either browser. My laptop I use Firefox and have no issues
