Just a thought for the Admins. I run a vbulletin site of my own and was put on to this by a member there. It is a simple mod that embeds videos in to the forum posts. There is about 25 different sites that it works with, YouTube, Google Video, Photobucket and MySpace Video being the major players.

With this mod the video plays in the forum post with out having a new page open to display it. The user still has to click play so there is no issues with bandwidth/downloading until you decide you want to see the video.

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=150761 is the link to it. Worth considering in my opinion.

http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5687 Is a link to a page on my site where you can see what it looks like in use.

It's an idea for our technical administrator to look into, which I'm sure he is now that you pointed it out. Most of this tech stuff is beyond me.
Thanks for the heads up.:)
