Are the random tags supposed to mean something? Seems like there should be links, but there aren’t. At least on an iPad. It’s hard to check out “the video” without knowing where it is.

@RichInPitt, the team is working to update the styles to have the posts display fine. In the meantime, I manually edited this post and embedded the video.

I don’t want to watch a video interview to post on a forum. If I have to work at figuring out how to post or find information, it is not worth it. The site on mobile is not ready for production.

@Aguadecoco, this interview is not meant to offer technical instructions on how to use the site. It’s an introduction into the new platform and highlights why the move was necessary.

You can find some technical how to videos here in our FAQs section.
