Allan,
To avoid the barrage (ha!) of questions.. can you post brief instructions on the vid posting process for the newbs or the unawares?
Thanks.

Don't suppose someone else (with a little more time) could handle this one? If not in the next day or so, I will Smile

Thanks. Good idea.

Well, unfortunately I'm still putting finishing touches on it, so I don't exactly want a complete flood of newbies all trying to post stuff at once to the gallery. So I think of it as a "beta" right now 'til I formally announce it and put it in the menus on footbag.org (but it is there and I'm okay with people using it, obviously).

But I'll say one thing -- please be sure to follow the directions extremely closely because any failure to do so will result in problems. It's a pretty frail system 'til I put in some more failure handling. One major example is (and I could probably fix this in the time it takes to explain, but what the hell) you can't have spaces in file names!!! Don't use them.

But basically just go to your own private gallery by going to http://www.footbag.org/gallery/sets. Note that, as Allan said, you have to be an IFPA member to use this feature.

I also strongly request that people who upload stuff anywhere on the net avoid using Microsoft's proprietary and ill-supported WMV9 format. Please use WMV8 or 7, or else MPG, DIVX, or even better yet, QuickTime. Trust me, you'll make more people happy if you avoid that crappy Microsoft environment.

Hey guys,

What happens to an IFPA member's gallery if his membership (temporarily) expires? Specifically, if my registration expires in July and I renew at World's a month later (hypothetically), will my gallery shut down for that month?

Thanks.

Maybe you aren't aware, but we are not able to change the order of our video clips when editing a gallery. When you click to move it up or down, it says "you are not allowed to do this". I know you said it's kind of still in Beta function, but just wondering if it can be fixed.

Thanks.

Bug reports are much better made directly to me via private e-mail. Also, for bug reports you send me (via private e-mail), please try to give a lot more information so I can help you better.

It helps me help you if you take an extra 30 seconds to type more details such as exact URLs of examples of problem pages (exactly what you were doing, etc.) as well as precise spellings of error messages (so I can search through the code to find them).

In this case I believe I've fixed the problem you noted above, Eli. Let me know if not. It's hard for me to test non-admin functions since I'm an admin. Smile

Steve

Thanks Steve for this great service. I can see that is picking up quite well! I was wondering if there was anyway ti view a list of all member video galleris or has these been left out intentionnaly for privacy issues (for example if people upload files that they don't want other people to view)?

I'm uploading some vids as I post and will upload more in the future.
Again thanks.

I'd just like to say that you're doing a good job, Steve, and a grand service to footbag.
Please keep it up.

I agree, without this site and the free gallerys where would all the video's be hosted? Keep up the good work Steve.
