Just a thought on categorization and browsing ease of use on the TBC forum. It seems like some of the most valuable information can be a little sporadically placed or hard to find at times. The main content I notice are the many helpful videos that Alan and others post. For instance there are many helpful videos contained within blog posts that are classified to a "Content Category" however are not shown as "Videos" in that category. Or a video is in a reply to a question which to not get classified to a "Content Category" at all.

I think the "Content Category" section of the home page is a great utility for the forum, but gives the assumption that there is very little video content on the forum which is not the case. Perhaps answered questions could be a new section of Content Categories or all video uploaded by TBC "Gurus" for lack of a better term, could be classified in a Content Category and given a concise title to make them more readily available?

Thanks 

This is I think an issue with the tool we use - if you upload a video on it's own it becomes a post of it's own in the video category. If you save its link you can embed it in a post so that there is a link to it. However if you create a post and upload a video into the post then the video is not seen as a video upload and as you point out it is not so easy to locate. I created the blog posts for this reason to Aggregate data into themed posts around a subject to help this somewhat.

I can try to start loading videos separately and linking / embedding to see if that helps - it is just more time consuming to do it that way

Thanks for the feedback - I will try to do more here to assist and try out a few things
