Sounds good
Hi,
That sounds like an interesting project - you've got a CTools permissions error on the home page though: "Unable to create CTools CSS cache directory. Check the permissions on your files directory."
Now I'll have a proper look...
Cheers,
Dave.
@Dave-B, Thanks, fixed it.

Heshan, Please be careful
Heshan,
Please be careful about posting messages to unrelated groups. This video distribution is not at all related to most of the groups you've posted to, meaning thousands of emails are going out to people who really aren't interested. I'm sure a lot of work went into building Octopus Video, and it will be very useful for some, but spamming groups like this leaves many people with a very bad impression.
