Hey that's fantastic news Yossarian. I'm always hearing people complain
about vid uploading but have to say that I've never had significant probs
with my little .MPG uploads and I've never uploaded anything over about 2
MB.

So can someone explain just why we have to have encrypted uploads for
anything at all? Just the multiplicity of threatening security warning
messages that this causes everytime the publish page is entered & exited are
downright intimidating for not very confident newbies. I seriously think
that some people may be chickening out of publishing for the 1'st time when
they're confronted with such technobollox.
