I understand that this isn't really an important request and that it's probably pointless though I think it would be fun to add those here. I know that you can do that in the discord already but I still think it would be great.

the forum is a template, so I don't think there is much Tony can change

for direct uploads you would need to have servers for hosting all that stuff, but who would pay for this?

I didn't think about that. Nevermind then.

It is a nice feature, but I think it would be already enough if links are automatically embed/converted as videos/pictures instead of tediously clicking on the picture/media button for every artwork/video you want to share (main site). Would also be nicer for people with slow net connection/mobile data.

But seriously, when are embed videos in chapters come? opening a new tab for mobile users is not very practical...

agreed. I use my phone all the time to check the forum throughout the day and it's always so tedious.

the forum is not a problem, since links for youtube are immediately converted, but the main site :blob_teary:

I share a music video that goes well wiith the chapters mood and I see a plain link that isn't even clickable!!! (I don't remember if there was drag and drop for pictures, but I think there wasn't?)

As with most Forum Suggestions, do understand that, even if it isn't a particularly bad request, Tony doesn't have much interest in developing the forums, nor does he know that much about how to code for Xenforo v2.0.

So... It's highly unlikely to happen simply because it's a forum suggestion. I'm sure there is a way to do it, and it's quite possible that a (paid) plugin for it already exists in fact... But well, Tony would need to either learn how to do it himself, or purchase (and test, to make sure it works properly) the plugin... It's just not something he prioritizes much, since he'd rather develop the main sites of Scribblehub and Novelupdates instead.

While I do like the idea, with what little knowledge I have of servers and hosting I know videos take up a lot of storage space. Even if it was easy to implement it would probably be an unnecessary increase in the site‘s operating cost. I don’t know what budget SH has or if it even generates revenue, but I don’t think adding video options to either the forum or the main site would be a good idea.
