Hello,

Is there a way to limit the number of video players per post?

Explanation: sometimes my users upload a dozen or so videos in one post (via the File Uploader plugin) or use too many embeds. This is OK as long as the following, and then the following, etc. post isn’t like this also. When there are dozens of “video players” for uploaded videos on the forum page, the page never finishes loading. I have already decreased the number of posts per page down to 15 and it’s still a problem. I am then forced to delete some of the posts to make the page accessible again.

I would like to limit the users with, say, 3 videos per 1 post.

I am sorry to say we have no built in control for that. And, I must add, never been asked for one before. I can certainly put it on the list for inclusion at some point…

Hello,

Please do put it on the list for inclusion, and I would like to ask for the ability to limit the number of pics per one post, too. When people upload 170+ pics in one post it may get in conflict with some site-wide plugins like NextGEN Gallery, leading to timeout errors etc. I think it will be easier to just limit the number of pics per 1 post.

170? That’s almost criminal! It’s on the list.
