Re: Update On Issue With Subscriptions Delay On Homepage

thedurnster

Hey Timmy,
                   Unrelated subject I know but could you tell me why,
when I post a video response from my laptop webcam, no matter how long
it is, when it is published, it is cut down to 25 seconds! Is there a
time limit on these things? Also, it is picking up loads of clicking
on the video as though it is recording my internet connection. What am
I doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
