I've started a Vimeo Group.  I don't know how much use it will be, but please feel free to join and upload stuff to Vimeo.  I'd hope it would work in a similar way to the Flickr group

Nice one GCW. I keep meaning to load up to Vimeo. Now that I've started climbing again, I hope to make some more non-quals.

Interestingly, Vimeo videos are not blocked by the filter at work.

Good idea - i've sticked this

[GCW]

Cheers Bubbs.

I've linked my videos now, and polished the homepage a bit.  Currently I've nicked the spotter pic.  Mr Draws, I hope that's OK, if not please let me know.
There's also a file page where you can upload stuff in various formats: pdf, mp3, jpeg, gif, png, doc.  I'll stick my topos there too, since my current online storage has died

nice one, I have put my name on the list

I've joined - i'm "borque" not bubba

What are the size restrictions on the storage space?

I like the way you've used Rich's image as a banner - might be a good idea to use as the forum header too ?

[GCW]

It appears the file limits are the same as for videos:  ie 500MB per week.  But I'm not 100% sure.
Cheers to the 5 that have joined.

Anyone know the best way to link videos?  The way I've done it is to open the video, then click on the "add" tab, then click on the UKBoulderin box in the add to groups bit.  You may be able to do a mass link but I'm not sure how.

Good work GCW.

Nice. Quality is great compared to shitty U tube.

[GCW]

We just need Jim to join, what with the quality of Extreme Cheese vids.

I've been having problems uploading to Vimeo. The uploads kept freezing part way through and I couldn't find a way to resume.
Turns out (after minimal searching on Vimeo forum) that I needed to turn off my screen and power saver functions. 

[GCW]

If you use Vegas and are exporting HD vids for Vimeo, you may find this useful.

[GCW]

Just like to say a big Thanks to everyone that has contributed, and watched, the stuff on the group.

There's currently 101 videos and 38 members.  Nice work everyone!!   

[Jim]

do I have to make my stuff part of the group?
I don't know how this shit works, I just upload vids every so often to my account. Do I have to add them to the ukb group?

Still haven't found a better way.  Add them, Jim, the more the merrier.

[Bubba]

Aye, only way i've found too:

Join the group, then go to your video - on the right is a panel with tabs that say "more" and "add" - click the "add" then you can add the vid to the group...

[GCW]

I've added an album for Yorkshire Bouldering, although it seems to be on my account rather than the UKB Group.  Thought it's make navigation easier.
Any ideas on the best way to work it?

[GCW]

Now that Vimeo let you have albums attached to a group, I've spent a dull morning filing the UKB vids.  Apologies for any mis-filing.  A few vids will not be in the groups as they are private and can only be added by their owners.  I hope these make navigation a bit easier.

List at the bottom right of the Video page

[GCW]

We have now hit 1000 videos on the UKBouldering Vimeo Group   

Thanks to everyone that has contributed!!

[GCW]

For some reason it seems that it is not possible to access the attached files for the Group T present (ie the Topos).  I don't know if this is a temporary thing or not.

[GCW]

There used to be a tab for files, but this has gone and links to the files no longer work. They are upgrading the Vimeo site which may be the cause.

[GCW]

It's probably worth seeing what happens with Vimeo initially.

[GCW]

I've heard back from Vimeo, basically fuck all can be done about it.  I had issues with my own account which has taken out the UKB account.  Vimeo say they can't restore it, so I've had to re-create the group.

It is currrently here, we need to use the group name of 148393 as I can't re-link it to UKBouldering yet.

Fuckity fuck.  It was bad enough the loss of the files and the folders.  Sorry everyone, but we'll have to re-build this resourse from scratch.

[slackline]

Would it be prudent to link it to a secondary account set up solely for the purpose of UKB so that if you have problems with your personal account again it won't cock the group up?

[GCW]

I've attached it to my account for now, I can always transfer later.  But yes, that's not a bad idea at all.
