UNIQUE VIEWS
My favorite is "unique views."
Put your cursor over the number of "views" and "unique views" pops up.
My understanding is that this is the number of registered Sifters who have viewed the vid. Doesn't count lurkers, doesn't count multiple visits.
Gives a better idea of how your vid is doing.
5 votes with 150 views is terrible.
5 votes with 7 unique views is great.


Interesting, I see a ratio of votes to total views when I hover the mouse over the views, it doesn't mention number of unique views at all.

Good post btw

Put your cursor over your name on any page.

A list of things drops down.

"Pref" is preferences.


>> ^kymbos:

Preferences? Where the fuck are 'preferences'?

TURN TOP 15 INTO TOP 30

Here's another....

You can make the Top 15 Videos be up to the Top 30 Videos.

Then you can see which videos are creeping up to the Top 15 and hence Power Point Worthy.

Under Preferences, click on Listings. There are a bunch of different changes you can make -- Choosing how many Top Videos to show up on the sidebar is just one of them.

{edit} PREFERENCES: Put your cursor over your name on any page. A list of drops down. "Pref" is preferences.

hmmm... something didn't work.

*backup=[...snipped...]

How about a little "pop-up" box when you hover the cursor over sift lounge so you can see who's in there? You may want to avoid/speak to somebody & it will tell you if it's a good or bad idea to carry on.

When I hover the cursor over the screen, no "play" button pops up, it's like I'm just looking at a photograph. I can therefore only declare it *blocked.

Oh honey, do you know nothing of the Sift, after 5 years?

Music is a hard sell here.

You will have your admirers, always!

(Do you know about the "unique" views thing that has been added? Put your cursor over number of views, and you will see the number of registered sifters who looked at. The numbers aren't as bad as you think....)

Hey thanks for the tip, it does put things a little more in perspective ;-)

a tip that sifter @<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/bareboards" title="member since May 17th, 2006" class="profilelink">bareboards taught me: hover your cursor over the number of views to see how many unique views your vid had (i.e. how many vote-toting users saw or at least opened your Sift). You can do this for other people's vids too to see the vote/view ratio.

Wait! Don't tabulate them just yet! I need to downvote Trancecoach's comment like he did mine... okay done. Now we're even. Booya!


Ha. You can hover your cursor over the downarrow and see who downvoted. Busted.

Hmmm, well editing text boxes is always kind of messy, but I don't think I have those problems. What hardware are you using? @lucky760 is an Android guy - he might have some insight.

Do you have any issues posting comments here on your Ipad. I can post from android but can't scroll the text box correctly or reposition the cursor accurately.
The rest of the site and all videos work correctly, it's just te comment boxes that behave oddly (I'm using the normal version of the site, not the mobile version).



I don't think there's anything we can do about it on our end, as it's mainly an issue of browser and OS functionality. I.e., there's no way on any website in any touch device I know of that allows you to resize inputs or to scroll around inside them.

Actually, maybe what we could do is add a button under the input box that will allow you to grow it vertically each time it's clicked. We'll work on that soon, but obviously only for mobile devices.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Hello, here's a little Sift tip someone taught me: hover your cursor over the number of views your video got: the number that shows is the number of "unique views" your video got. You can do this for other people's vids too, to see the view-to-vote ratio. cheers!
