Fantastic! Thanks Lucky!

I love having color options for my profile! It's one of my favorite things about having a charter membership.

I found the bug in siftbot's code so *promote should properly be re-queuing posts now.

Thanks!

P.S. Great custom profile style.

Me again!! Sorry to bug you but I found the answer to the dupe thing!!! Ok, so there was a video I killed when I first started after someone said it was a dupe (I didn't know I wasn't supposed to kill it)...anyway, it was always bugging me that I did that and I found it in my killed folder just now and called a dupe on it and the votes went to the original! Check it out!!! I'm pretty excited to have found this out!!! Thanks so much! http://videosift.com/video/Puppy-Attacks-Cat

NO! LOL! I don't write down in a calendar the exact date I promote every video. Haha!! I just happened to remember that day because it was the day before I went on vacation and it's a nice memory I have of @BoneRemake and trying to bring that video of his back to life.

I guess I have been here a while now. I started March 27 2012! I hope after all this time, I've convinced everyone I'm not blankfist. Sometimes I like to go back and read that post. It always gives me a pretty good laugh!

Thanks for looking into that issue Lucky! I will let @oritteropo know this since he and I were discussing it!

You mean that wasn't intentional? I thought maybe it was on your calendar or something. It's crazy how long you've been a member. It seems like a very short time ago the whole "You are blankfist!" controversy erupted.

Anyhow, before my previous comment I manually changed the status to published because it had 11 votes at the time and was still set to discarded. Weird! (Aka. broken!)

You're welcome! I noticed it doesn't say "discarded" now. I don't even think there was an option to upvote the video at that time either...maybe you made some changes since then?? Hey something neat - I just remembered that I did that last promote EXACTLY one year ago - on June 7th! What are the chances of that?

lucky760 said:

Thanks for the live example!

Yes after the promote expired with < 10 votes it should have been pqueued.
Then after getting 10 votes it should have been published.

I'll look into this today.

Or rather the pq folder...I'm going to promote it again and see what happens if it gets 10 votes.

Aha found it!!! I promoted this video from @BoneRemake a year ago and it went to the promote section for the three hours, but then back to his discarded folder after that...but it only has 8 votes...could that be why it didn't go to the sifted folder after? http://videosift.com/video/White-Lies-Death-Live-on-jooles-holland

I tried that with someone's discarded video...when I promoted it, it promoted just like any other video, but after the 3 hours were up it went right back into the discarded folder. Would be nice if they could be resurrected permanently by doing that.

I'll mention to cdimetry that he should *isdupe next time then. Thanks for the info!

You are supposed to be able to promote a discarded vid back onto the queue, but last time I tried it didn't quite work... it was close, but stayed discarded.

There was a sift talk about standard members getting dupeof and isdupe on their own vids, basically @lucky760 agreed with the suggestion and implement it.

I was experimenting with that once before...I think you can do certain things with discarded videos that you can't do with killed videos. I think this might require more testing!! I'll let you know what I find out if I run across something like this again.

I was just thinking something else too...I know when I started here (before I got bronze) I couldn't *isdupe my own video but I think something might have changed with that recently and newbies can do that now. MORE TESTING!! That would solve the problem.

I think that it is possible to isdupe a killed vid, too, at least for gold star.
