I tried sending a PM, actually 3 of them, and they didn't show up in my sent Box, so I suspect that they didn't get sent. Anyway, the subject was my new digital Camcorder. Can I down load videos to the web sight in your new photo system?? Or, do I need to down load to Photobucket and provide a link to them??? I like your system, and the ease getting photos into posts, but if it doesn't work with videos I'll use Photobucket.

Tom, about the PM part. When you hit the Submit button on a PM it goes to an 'Outbox' where it sits until the recipient reads it. When the recipient opens it, then it shows up in your 'Sentbox'

The Outbox was causing some problems for a few members a couple of years ago....they didn't know what it was for and were deleting the PM's in it before the recipient had a chance to read them, then wondering why no one was receiving their PM's. So Frank made is invisible, it's still there you just can't see it.

He is around, just not here as much as usual lately. He has his Swedish classes plus he may still be teaching an English class or helping with one that he mentioned a few weeks ago. And I think he is working on more features for GardenStew and some other things.

Hi Tom, sorry I have been a bit busy lately, school amongst other things.

As to your query, no unfortunately it doesn't handle video. The difference between hosting photos and videos is ginormous so I doubt we'll ever have that capacity. I would go with PhotoBucket on this one.
