i totally did it.  i out tricked the trickiness of posting videos!

Kendall,

Just to add to this, I found out today that Firefox uses a slightly different and probably more compliant post command for this board. When I added the post with IE7, I was able to watch it in Firefox but not in IE7. When I posted in Firefox I was then able to watch in in any browser...

Thanks !

Marcel.

I tried this a several times but I didn 't get it to work. I've heard that it would'nt be a problem to embed a video only by using not the Windows Internet Explorer?
