hello! I've had intermittent issues with uploading mp4 videos on forums, but mostly today. I thought maybe it was because of the size. I compressed the video to 370mb (same mp4 format) and still didn't work. it allowed me to upload and post, showed processing for several minutes and then just blank. I'd read somewhere on here the video upload limit was 500mb, is that correct? if so, any other troubleshooting tips for videos not posting that are below that?

I'm sorry I have another question... is there a list of forum code/tags that work on the forums?
I mean the [ img ] [/ img ] [ quote ] [/ quote ] type codes

I know high server load can cause problems uploading and processing videos. I’ll tag admin in on this for clarification and to answer your tags question.

Hello, here should be a quick list: https://i.imgur.com/dwNDlLK.png (haven't tested all but looks ok)

In regards to the issue, are you trying to upload the video via the 'Upload a File' button?
