  • Successfully upload a video to Vid8 and the video page link includes ""
  • Hit the 'Share on Poal' button
  • The video link that is inserted into the new post on poal includes the "" from the successful upload page
  • This inclusion breaks the video duration detection that gets appended to the title of the post

Example: No duration for the video noted in the title: https://poal.co/s/WhiteGenocide/572657 Link added to post from vid8: https://vid8.poal.co/user/Khro_/zG1459f

I cannot edit the uploaded link in the submitted post to remove the additional text from the link. I just need to remember to remove that extra text from the link before I submit a post when I do so via the Share On Poal button from the Vid8 page for videos I upload.


EDIT I just uploaded a second video and manually removed the excess text from the link to submit. The post still lacks the duration appended to the title.

It would appear I misunderstood how that duration is added to the title. The duration is in the title of the video on the video page, but the Share On Poal button on the video page does not include that duration portion of the video title from the vid8 page, only the name of the video.

Perhaps I need to:

  • Upload video
  • Hit 'Share On Poal'
  • Remove excess text from the shared link
  • Manually hit the 'Grab Title' button so it updates to include the duration of the video that is appended to the title of the video on the actual vid8 page.
  • Then submit the post

I will try that next.

lol I've never seen that before.

What browser/version are you using?

This is Waterfox Classic/2022.06. (I know) I also use Ungoogled Chromium. I just tested over in it and it did appear properly for me: https://pic8.co/sh/YPICnj.jpg

I should have just done that check before I asked you about it to see that it was just for me. Sorry for wasting your time. It was just never like that for me before in Waterfox when I edited video descriptions/titles of Vid8 videos, so it seemed an odd thing to start out of nowhere and recently.

I've tried with the most recent version of WF and it looks ok here.

Thank you for checking on that! I didn't have any CSS-related changes active on Vid8 that might've caused it, so I'm doing the browser update I've been meaning to do and looking closer at my extensions now to see what might be the cause.
