Just putting this out there. Could or should the zone have a dedicated section for people to post videos?

I know people post videos in their build threads, but unless you read the whole thing you likely won't see it.

My initial thoughts would be a few sections. Instructional videos. Track videos. Engine/exhaust sounds.....

Just a thought.

I have quite a few small videos I was hoping to upload to my thread, small enough that I didn't want to bother hosting them on youtube but annoying that I couldn't upload direct to here if that makes sense?

I expect it all comes down to the space required to upload everything

I think you just have to make them into one video Dan and post it on Youtube. Is the way I've always done it.

I wasn't trying to suggest the zone hosts the videos, but another source of info, with links posted for relevant stuff.

Brilliant idea, I've always been a fan of watching rather than reading as my concentration wanes sometimes so i'd like this idea..

And of course the few yob videos wouldn't go amiss... :snigger:

Dan, upload them to YouTube as private videos then post to here. Then you don't have to do the whole production thing for randoms to see, you can just write up the explanation on your post then include the video.

sounds like a good idea,

but, doesn't the zone have it's own youtube channel? could maybe upload them to that the link to them?

also it could promote this place as well.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
