In the mean time, just hold ctrl while you click, or right click and "open in new tab". Then dance a little.

My solution to this requires Firefox and a three-button mouse or a mouse with a clickable scroll wheel. Move your cursor to the link and click down on the wheel to open it in a new tab. This also works on the "back button" and on bookmarks. When I discovered this I did a little dance.

Can you fix my mouse? The scroll clicker is broken and I feel helpless.

^ Abducted, since the name of the game is World of Warcraft, I think saying, "Welcome to the World of Warcraft" is perfectly acceptable.

And ^ ^ lv_hunter, it's wrath not warth.

Now ZIG HAIL!!

Was waiting for JB to jump forth and start doing cock pushups.

Sorry, you can only do one cock push-up.

AWESOME AVATAR!

That is all.

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter Abducted.

Moving this video to Abducted's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Hehe. Funny how this is sounding like a political debate all of a sudden.
Let me address some of the issues discussed above.

^gwiz665: With the much fewer star points, I think it would be better to put dupeof in the 250+ group. It's not that much more powerful than * discard anyway?

It's is a very incorrect declaration that *dupeof is not much more powerful than discard. If someone accidentally (or intentionally) misuses discard, it's a simple, meaningless admin function to un-discard. To misuse *dupeof means that the invoker decides on his/her own that a video is a dupe, then can send all their votes to another user+video, then kill what they declared a dupe. All of this cannot be undone.

If it were indeed no more powerful than discard, lowering the requirements might be something to consider. But it's really a matter of handing out powers on the level of a site administrator who could do real, permanent damage to the site (even if accidentally).


^Stingray: *bug: NBC video embeds don't show an icon in their minimized state.

We overlooked the fact that we need to handle thumbnails for our new video hosts. Sorry for this, but they'll remain missing until we have fixed them up.


^campionidelmondo: nice update I guess, but you still cannot search by channel, what is that about?

It has to do with the search engine that powers our search. It's currently too impractical to perform the types of intricate searches we'd like to support. This may change and when it does we will add the ability.


^djsunkid: Bug report: Channel filtres aren't working. I always filtre out election08 and they are all in the top15 now.

The top new videos sidebar has been fixed. Your filters should be working correctly again and if you have a different count than 15 that number should be displayed.


^Abducted: Why is the sift lounge so elitist? Oh and a functionality problem: How do you post the embed code of a video, for say the owner to fix himself.

The Sift Lounge may seem elitist, but that's not the intention. Aside from the technical reasons dag mentioned, we seriously do not want to have a wild wild west type of free-for-all chat room where anybody can come and go to troll and attack other members. We do not want there to ever have to be any issues that require anyone to silence or kick another member.

We call it a Lounge because we want the people who spend time there to just lounge comfortably with friends who have demonstrated they are more likely to participate in a peaceful conversation (rather than the type of spouting off and trolling seen in the Razzleberry meebo chat for example).

Most embeds allow you to grab the code from within the embed itself.


^arvana: There are no vids listed under the Playlists tab (which by default seems to be Group Playlists) even though there already are some group playlists.

This is only temporary. The default listing is by best rank, but currently no group playlists have any rank. That will change very quickly.

Also, the voting bug has been fixed. And if the ribbon bar at the top of the page looks screwy, do a hard reload (hold ctrl+shift while you reload the page).

Why is the sift lounge so elitist?


I was trying to hold off ranting because I don't want to seem ungrateful, but I have to agree with that also. It's one thing to motivate people with powers and abilities etc but this site is all about the community. Letting members chat together should naturally be for every member.

And since I started the rant ... I am going to apologize in advance for being a big whiny bitch here. I'm sorry.
But it's really grinding my gears that I am suddenly not qualified to handle dupes.

I've always seen dupes as a real problem here and it was a big motivation in my rushing to gold, so I could help get rid of them.
In the last 11 days (ie. since I got gold) I have diligently carried my mop and bucket and scrubbed at least 44 dupes off of the sift.

I took it seriously, and always made sure they were identical. It's aggravating that I'm not good enough now when I've been cleaning this place up left and right.

Dupes still need to be dealt with as soon as possible. If I nailed 44 in 11 days myself, how are the crowns supposed to deal with it all? It's great the votes transfer, but with comments getting left behind, playlist and channel assignments not merging, I think we need to have more people on the job here.

ugh! Sorry! I love you all, great upgrade and awesome new features and I appreciate so much all of the hard work! But this is really getting to me for some reason.

Finally, some recognition! Thanks.
