This is from my main PC but has just now occurred on my sister's laptop which I have little control over. So I thought that was interesting.

Going direct to YouTube shows the video embed correctly.

I was wondering why you can make a related video with *related=http://youtube.com/1234 but backups must have brackets *backup=[http://youtube.com/1234

Also can someone fix a video for me? http://videosift.com/video/Youre-so-sweet
Still not happy about my level being unable to fix videos...

Just wanted to announce that the *cute and *audio channels have just been adopted by two loving foster parents.

@Lann has taken over *Cute from UsesProzac and @UsesProzac has stolen taken over *Audio from the (banned) @BoneRemake.

Let's all keep a trained eye on these channels to see what awesomeness they bring. Just keep staring until they start to feel uncomfortable. Then stare some more.

Resolved, nothing to see here!

So I've been mostly away from the Sift for a while now (in all honesty, the new super design of having everything practically invisible and words replaced by tiny icons was a huge put-off for me), but now I'm back and would like to update my playlists... only I have no idea how to. I currently have a video for each of my two playlists*, but see no options for adding them, and one of my playlists has "no longer updated" added to it's description. Any help?

Hello all - I just want to take a moment to talk a little bit about the finance of VideoSift.

Our main costs are our servers (3) and our CDN subscription. Whatever is left from that we put into an account to fund things like the artists who make our badges, or developer/designers for our next major (VS 6.0?) update.

And yes, whatever is left from that ... Lucky and I take as a stipend for working on the site. We're also planning to bring two more community managers on board. People have come forward and offered to do this for free, but we really, really want to pay as we think it's deserving work that we want to support.

We do have advertising and it pays the majority of our bills but the market has been dipping a bit lately and I'll be honest and say we'd rather get the money from the community. I'll be even more honest and say that it would be great if we could get rid of advertising all together and rely on things like charter memberships or quality video sponsorships - like the great one we received last week.

VideoSift is run by you - with some benign overlording and development by @lucky760 and yours truly. We have had Charter Members for literally years who have chipped in on a monthly basis to support the running cost of the site - (I know who you are).

So - thank you for supporting VideoSift with your work on the site - and financially. We know that many of you have put a lot of effort into our community and it's sometimes scary, a little humbling - and makes me feel that Lucky and I have a reciprocal responsibility to be responsive to you. I will respond to any question, idea, thought, query or complaint. - Bring it on.

If you haven't become a charter member yet - and you'd like to support THE independent video community - now's you're chance. Not only will it remove all the ads for you - but you'll get that rosy glow - and my personal gratitude - whatever that's worth from a man in a Wampa hat.

When I down vote something and refresh I can't see that anyone (including myself) has downshifted.

Have I been real high all this time?

So I like to discover good videos on videosift, but I also like to bookmark them by upvoting the things that I like and then going back through that list whenever I am looking for something good to re-watch.

Problem is I've been using the site for about four or five years now, and the total number of up votes is something Iike two thousand or so.

Is there any way to search only within the videos that I have upvoted? Could that be an added feature?

Ever been playing a video game & you fall in love with some of the music you hear contained somewhere within it right there & then? I have & my two favourites are below.....Strangely enough, both of them are from the same year (1996)

ANYTHING goes here Sifters, it doesn't matter if it's opening theme, cut scene, level background music or end credits, if it's from a video game..........I want to hear it.

Looking for a recommendation of an easy to use all in one program that can download and convert YouTube Videos to an AVI file. I've seen some that are online but they only allow for you to do shorter videos. I'm looking for something that will allow for hour plus long videos.

I've tried to download two different programs so far. The first wanted to load a bunch of other stuff onto my puter and the second one ended up being a trial that wouldn't let me download the total file. Any Ideas or recommendations?

So I have no idea if it's okay for me to post this, but I'm looking for a video that was posted possibly about a year ago, of a group of guys sneaking into a tall building which is under construction. I seem to recall that they're not speaking English, and it's possibly set in Europe. The only other detail I remember is they make it to the top and plant a sticker. Can anyone help me out?

It's very minimal work. Cute is eternally subjective and adorable. Come, take the reigns and ride *cute into that eternal sunset.

Unless I'm completely misunderstanding it's intention, I think VideoSift need to educate its members on the proper use of *related invoke.
Too often I see idiotic things like http://videosift.com/video/Its-a-Wonderful-Life-Bridge-Scene#comment-1625506 and http://videosift.com/video/A-fast-and-funny-way-to-put-on-a-swim-cap#comment-1620316
This site has 2 different ways to groups videos: "Channels" and "Tags".
If you want to link 2 videos together based on the common topic, use channels and/or tags.
If 2 videos are literally related, ie 2 parts of an interview or a full episode and a short clip, use related invocation.
But don't use *related because 2 videos just happen to have a fucking bridge in them!
Another example are "True Facts" videos. They should not be marked as related. When you submit videos they should have proper tags and channels so that I can click on http://videosift.com/tag/zefrank or http://videosift.com/tag/true+facts and find all of them.

Pay here, play here. Sidebars and pop-ups??-Cool. Any viddies with auto-play, adverts, or shit already paid for with labor-coupons for the pipeline to happiness?... Fuck that noise.

We all have to look at billboards and marquis along beautiful concrete or landscaping rather than interactive bio-organic-mechanized-happy-structures everywhere, all-fucking-day. Why bother here, when all it gleans is some network coke-addict's drivel, an other network-wannabee's aspiring to similar heights of drivel, or other talent-free *Fuckazoids attempting to make you lazier with a buck at-the-same-time for themselves and other cunts who fuck-off doing dick as well by making you stupider ??

It's a vicious goddamn cycle that has to stop somewhere already...GRRRR!

Get ready and please subscribe to a, from-the-hip down-vote attitude for any embedded videos with mandatory adverts. Band + Wagon =

If not ,fuck off I'm gonna do it.

I know that VideoSift tries to be at least minimally family friendly (marking videos NSFW, not allowing porn embeds, etc.) SO I was a little shocked when I noticed this today: On the right hand column between the top 15 posts and the Beggar's Canyon are the Facebook links to Videosift's Facebook page and a couple of pictures from profiles that have 'liked' Videosift.

Unfortunately, one of those profiles has their profile picture with a woman leaning in close to a rather outsized piece of the male anatomy. Thinking surely it must just be a joke and the small picture makes it hard to see what is really there, I decided to click through. Suffice it to say that it was exactly as I first perceived it.

I have no idea about stopping certain profile pics from showing up on the front page or 'unliking' a 'liker' but I thought I would bring it to the Sift's attention anyway.

If I knew how to attach a picture, or if that is even possible, I'd be happy to share the screen capture. Unfortunately, I stupidly navigated away from the page and it repopulated the section with random Facebook profiles and I hadn't noted the offending profiles name.

I can't click any of the buttons on the videos, and if I right click the menu pops up way outside the video area.

I have to go to youtube itself to watch it. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm using Chrome 26.

Strange one.

The site loads up but the embeds behave as though they are images. There's nothing to click on or interact.

Videosift works in Firefox. This does seem to be an issue with Chrome.

YouTube continues to work as expected.

Any ideas?

Hello!

I noticed not all invocations are show in that comment's pop-up: http://i.imgur.com/MPjZawV.gif ...

Where's related and others? I always forget the other ones.

Thank you in advance.
