Yeah, all I want to know, though, is what the 'permitted' spectrum of colours is? My woohoo-yellow has disappeared with the completion of the upgrade. My attempt to put a colour back in was met with an invalid submission message. Hmm?

Don't you think "woohoo" is confusing to people who aren't sift-addicts?

I miss getting emails telling me when new videos were submitted to my favourite collectives.

1. I love to go back and search for R&R gems that I'd always wanted in there.
2. Dig the new "blank" sidebar panel.
3. I thought I'd miss the rankings, turns out I really don't care if anyone else likes it at all. lol.

I *do* miss the rankings

I miss seeing a video in the collective that doesn't have enough votes. Now they only show if it's published so you really can't support your collectives like in the past.

that's right.

and I do miss "collective top members" and "collective top videos" too.
also the featuring.

Ooohh, Ooohh, Me Me! I understand why things were changed...

There is open membership now, I like that, allows for everyone to submit, and to multiple collectives... but I miss the rankings of the people who submit... it was a nice kind of reward for those who actively seek out stuff for specific collectives/channels.

I also miss the degree of customization we used to have... I understand that you guys want the sift to look more unified, but, VideoSift Blue matched with HorrorShow Red? Yuk... so, my collective/channel no longer has that 'mood' that it once had, viewers no longer will feel like they have entered into my little realm of terror... so sad .

And yeah, I kind of miss the rankings too... before I felt that it bred unnecessary competition... but now, I kind of miss that unnecessary competition... I mean, it did do some good, because, then we could have collective challenges, like the Fortnight contest, and the Rock N'Roll Summer challenge... they gave us all something to do as a community... which frankly, is the main reason I love this place so much... as I'm a wee bit bored with the plethora of Simpsons clips and montages of people injuring themselves.

huh... I might have to take back about what I said about the colours... I just popped on over to rock n' roll and saw what mlx has done to the place... Nice Job!

Hmmm... wheels are beginning to turn inside ol' Raven's cranium... I'll have to get some tips from you about customization when I get the time to sit down and play with the css.

Now they only show if it's published so you really can't support your collectives like in the past.

While you're in a channel only the "channel" and "playlists" tabs will take you outside. The "Unsifted" tab in a channel takes you to it's queue.

And thanks, raven! I'll help if I can...we've always got Lucky.

I like the channels better.....no one ever asked me for an invite to the wild west show, and it was some bird pestering me to start a new one anyhow.....Remeber, the wildwestshow can contain anything you think is wild and westernized.....like a clown with only his red-nose streaking down a corridor in a crowded mall, or, it can be some country tune, or, some home-movie of some wild, expulsive activity.....How come noone watches my channel?????

While you're in a channel only the "channel" and "playlists" tabs will take you outside

also "top users" takes you outside.
and there simply isn't a "discarded" tab (for videos i'd like to save).

I liked the Obscure collective as I never knew what to expect each time I clicked on those videos.
