message boards must have those abilities enabled
ldl101 could have posts that contain midi files, mp3s flash animation, window avi, im sure q-time too... but it would be up to zhar to enable that stuff.
and security could become a problem, allowing certain file types apperently incresaes the risk of (-)4><0|2 tampering.
not to mention the bandwidth involved with loading pages containing peoples multimedia sigs an such.
this is why the only thing that really is allowed seems to be jpeg/gif images

u could always convert your video into a gif file...but if u dont wanna spend a lottttttttttttttttt of time doing this by hand, your gunna need an advanced video program like adobe premiere. and even if u do this, the file will be relatively large, so its still gunna clog bandwidth

we would definately not allow video images to be used as signatures, as anyone running a connection lower than cable would be lagged to all hell trying to load a page. and that isnt fair to them. members can choose not to view or load a page containing a film someone has posted. but members cannot choose to not load someones video signature.

I can host it for you. I just hope you're not planning on using it in a sig, because that'll take a LONG time for anyone who uses dial-up to load.

would allow something that big.

certain sites that u subsribe to will allow hosting of larger files. the only probably is that u'd be spending money.....which is retarted and no one wants to do....
unless im mistaken, i believe xanga may allow u to host larger files if your a premium member
the other choice is to get a free geocities domain, or a .tk or something, and host files. im pretty sure u can get at least a 5meg free storage

I have 25 megs from my ISP that I'm doing nothing with.
I'd be happy enough to host it for you.
