Happy Birthday, hope you have a great one!

Thanks Tom. At least we know we aren't going nuts trying different codec settings,etc... PBX is not a bottleneck... it's a gift.

I would expect it to be slow as the rendering is not hardware accelareted. Not much can be done about it right now. At some point Ill look at moving to DXVA or similar. To be clear, its not the decoding its the rendering. There is a memory copy involved. It would be improved as CPU/RAM speed improves.

@GimmeClassics Welcome back into the fray old buddy! You might not need to do all the effort in changing the image hosts. @Adultery sent me a PM a few days ago saying he was already in the process of moving them all over to his server, so we won't run into that 3rd party hosting limitation. Hopefully you didn't do too much damage! As for the boards, like I told Adultery, I was planning on updating all the board formats to the new version with higher resolution banners eventually. I was kinda going about it one game at a time, as players posted up new scores. I've been really busy with work and trying to get my life in order. Going at it in bulk doing a bunch of games all at once just seemed like too big a task, but one here or there as needed was more manageable. If you want, feel free to take up that task! As for linking to the score post, it's still the same way for the most part. You right click the icon in the post for "sharing" and select copy link. Then in then DBM you click the button [SET URL], it pops up a window asking for the URL, paste it there, then the [GENERATE] button becomes available. It then creates the correctly formatted Google Tiny URL. Hit [OK] and it takes you back to the entry screen. You were probably trying to paste the link straight into the SET URL field, which is the wrong way. As for updating the boards, it's still the same way. You have to edit the OP, then erase all the board data (I've been trying to use Horizontal Rules (HR) to make it easier) between the name of the person who last updated, to the top. Then you go into the SOURCE and paste the code the DBM generates. Switch out of SOURCE and it should be good. I try to cut everything above the first HR code, drop a line (pressing ENTER) and paste the new code above the HR code. If you're updating a board that has a GOTM winner, you'll want to paste between the HR after the winner line, and before the HR after the board data. I can show you if you need help.
