Work-arounds for uploading large files
I am aware that the video upload facility says not to upload files longer than a minute.
I've got a case here of an 720p mp4 file which is 57 seconds, weighing in at 71MB.
Does anyone else have issues with files this size with the webm upload facility? (yes I know it's an mp4 and it prefers webm, but I'd expect at least an error or something if it outright rejected it.)
As all that happens in my case is that it takes a while then appears to silently time out without changing page - I suspect this may be due to my somewhat mediocre (< 2MB/s average) upload bandwidth.

I guess I could try either chopping the file up into shorter duration chunks, and/or transcoding it to lower resolution (possibly throwing them into a pool), though neither are exactly a desireable situation.

(If it is a silent time-out, I wonder if there is anything that can be done to detect this client-side - firefox is not indicating a time-out error in this case, if that is what is going on. I would fuck around with cURL to see if that revealed anything, but I suspect I'd probably screw up a few times and consequently get locked out for "suspicious requests".)

*EDIT: too many nnnnn's

Oh, welp, re-encoded server side anyway. Whatever then

mm, support for formats other than webm is flaky at best

71MB is not big at all, it should be able to do it? We recode it to webm if its an mp4. Not sure why its timing out?

I feel it is likely an issue my end (even if that issue is actually something network related en route, and firefox decided not to tell me anything).
In any case, the relevant post is up now.
When it did actually upload correctly, I had to re-complete the captcha when it timed out during the upload (>_>), however when that happened the first time I was presented with a proper "captcha not solved" page so I think that was an unrelated issue.

I'm starting to think it may not have been a timeout after all, as the timing was never consistent - it would just stop after 10 secs the first time, then subsequent attempts would seem to get further. I had no idea what was going on, the only indication I had of anything going on at all was the browser's little animated indicator on the tab.

(I think if it re-occurs I'll have to monitor the upload rate going out of my computer to verify it is going full throttle with the upload, or see if it just decided to hang and give up.)

The site's WEBM converter is pretty garb anyways (although I think it might have been improved over what it was? Not sure). I always convert MP4s to WEBMs myself, then upload them...plus it has the added benefit of shrinking the file size by a good amount which might help you upload it...and the end result will probably look better as well.

Noted.
I guess it's time to break out the ffmpeg manual again and look for vp8, oh such fun...
That said, when I did finally manage to get the damn thing to upload, the resulting conversion did not look all that bad at all, just a pain in the backside to get there.

I don't know if this is just me but I sometimes Don't get a notify in my mail if it was a user I continuosly message.

Like the first message they give me I receive the 'You Have Mail' Thing but sometimes that won't pop up

I get this too, oddly enough only with specific users. I know it's not because I have two tabs open, I've tested that already.

You gotta look into what is giving you 'shady popups' because we dropped pops a few months ago.

Adds
I'm all for adds to go with the base foundation of money to keep a site up. Though we need like a quality control on them. The are just untastful. They lack the feeling of the site. It doesn't play off good on the eyes. It makes me what to put the addblock on. I don't want to I feel for this site and helping it run. Though these ad photos.
