Lounge Lizards say: come talk with us! has been added as a related post - related requested by bareboards2.

Non members and not logged in members can see the chat lounge through the sub menu and obviously those are not logged into the sift lounge. I think that ability to view sift lounge through sub menu when not logged in should be removed.

I like the new ability to 'spy' on the lounge from any page, and the fact that it notifies those in the lounge I'm looking. That's great.

@eric3579 - That's the first mention of playlists, which tells me the feature isn't being missed very much.

I think I may make all the other ancillary pages accessible via the member tab. (There's currently nothing there except your account preferences.)

FYI - If someone takes a look at the chat messages in the header siftbot will now note that fact within the lounge chat log.

Also the count of current chatters will get updated periodically, so if you're on a page for a while without reloading, the chat user count will continue to get updated.

It's good to know that people want channels and tags back. As with voters and "who's viewing now," we can have a discussion about how to add those back in.

Will ponder how to display lounge users, PPs, and search.

@blackfox42 - Thanks for reminding about gorillaman's comment, which was actually about the Suggested Videos, and I'll have to ponder that as well. (It was @moonsammy who just mentioned channels and tags.)

@mxxcon - They're way down there because you're only likely to change those settings once. Furthermore, if you're not using the site enough to ever scroll to the bottom of the page, then they're of no use to you anyway. If you find them and want to use them, great. Otherwise, meh. It would be less desirable to eat up valuable real estate were it nearer the top of the page.

All things missing from the upper right area i always use.

*Easily viewable sift lounge(#) in upper right. How am i gonna know if anyone's in their waiting for someone to join. Removing this will kill the lounge(imo)

*No search?

*Missing the 'Hello, eric3579 (3)'
No place to jump to my profile or view my number of pps. What if i want to promote the video im on but dont know if i have pps. Will i have to navigate somewhere just to check

Well I don't entirely hate it, which is my usual reaction to change.

There's very little wasted space. It's much less cluttered and pretty intuitive; I thought I'd stumbled onto the mobile site by accident when I first saw it.

Not sure about the suggested videos - looks like you're just going to keep seeing the same ones from popular channels again and again. There's less space for the comments section which is surely bad. The various big buttons for facebook, twitter, etc. are garbage but I'll just adblock them. You can't see a video's channels and tags on its page or who's voted for it.

Putting a feed from the recent comments and the lounge in the discuss tab is big nifty. The minimised footer is a colossal improvement.

Oh man. you're putting me on the spot with that question. I traded 1/2 ownership of a 128mac for my brother's old apple 2 and a shoe box of floppy's. I didn't go through 1/2 of them before I got kicked out of the house and he took it all back. I remember a few text games...hitchhikers guide among them. I think also defender, Montezuma's revenge sounds familiar, Wolfenstien, Beyond Wolfenstien, Cannonball Blitz, Centipede, choplifter, crystal castles, frogger, galaxian, joust, kung fu master, leisure suit larry in the land of the lounge lizards, lode runner, missile defense, moon patrol, qix, tapper, ultima (maybe ultima 2), and zork. That's all I recognize from the list.
