Hiding Videos

By popular request, a new feature is now available for all members. There are currently two methods by which members may cast votes for videos: up and down. Another new feature recently added allows a member to hide queued videos for which (s)he has already voted. This is a nice feature, but was just short of some Sifters' expectations. It was requested that a third voting option be added to indicate "I don't want to vote this up or down, but I just don't want to bothered with seeing it again."



Instead of modifying the voting system to allow for this, a much more managable method has been implemented. A special playlist titled "Hidden From My View" is automatically available to all members, and any videos added to this special playlist will not be included in the video listing of the front page or the queue. Using this playlist method, you can still view the videos you've hidden and maybe cast a vote at some later time. Another benefit is that you can make the list visible to everyone if you desire to share your feelings with the rest of the siftmunity.



Note: The playlist cannot be deleted and its title cannot be changed, but you can modify all the other settings for the playlist as usual.



Please post your suggestions and report any problems here. Merry Christmas! :-)



Update: This description has changed a bit, so you may want to re-read it, but the most important point is the special playlist name has been modified.
