Expected Down Time (AKA Razzleberry) Tonight
We've had a security breach and will be taking the site offline shortly and hopefully for only a couple of hours, tops. However, there may always be unexpected issues that prolong our downage. In any case, we'll be putting the site into Razzleberry mode. For you young hipsters, that's the out of control chatroom that fills the void while we deprive you of videosift.
That is all.
That is all.

Only took me about 6 hours. The sun's not quite up yet...
*yawn*
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Thanks for burning your candle at both ends tonight Lucky. You've burned ever so bright Roy, I mean Lucky.
That's some *quality, dedicated tech support right there.
Awarding lucky760 with one star point for this contribution to VideoSift - declared quality by Hybrid.
What time tonight so I won't freak out.
Are you going to disclose the security issue?
The bra sizes of all your grandmothers were stolen!
*gasp!*
But seriously and deliriously, I'm off to bed. Good morning fine Sifters.

Eww, from dead ones too?

Especially from the dead ones, yeah.
There appears to be an issue with votes since VS came back online. While votes are being registered correctly, the "who voted for this video" bits are not being updated. For example, I submitted this a few hours ago, and while it has votes, I can't see from who:
http://videosift.com/video/Melancholia-trailer-Lars-Von-Trier-Kirsten-Dunst
Likewise, this had 4 votes before the outage, but now has 7, yet only the original 4 people are showing up at the bottom:

This seems like a good time to ask: Videosift doesn't store plaintext passwords, does it?

They better!

No, it's 32-bit encryption using the following key: videosift

Definitely not. Fully hashed.

@Hybrid: Definitely just a caching issue. Will look into it when the computer gods allow.
@xxovercastxx: Each user has a unique salt and the password is a one-way hash based on the user's salt, password, and semi-random chunks of the password based on the password characters themselves. Even given the algorithm, salt, and hash (and even for all known users), the only way to generate the hash is by using the original password. I'll give you mine, for instance:
f5c510b5564d4f06b465afe5624f40c5
44f451e233b51d98ce53ba39f1f732335de3be4b0e86c92b9cfb9b38b03a9a94 (split into two lines)

@blankfist: Actually, the key is frogrape.
Good, good, good. I mean, I don't use the password I use here for anything important, but it would still be a potential pain in the ass if someone had access to all the unimportant sites I visit.

I'm using Lastpass for all sites. That way I have unique passwords for everything.
For all of you who have been wondering what happened to the "Who Voted" listing on videos, it's fixed now. During our upgrade last night, a newer version of some software was installed, but in that version the cache deleting mechanism is busted.
Something still isn't right. This video only shows 14 voters, but the vote tally says 25 on my Firefox browser and only 10 on my Chrome and Opera browsers. I don't know whcih number is right, but in both cases the tally doesn't match the number of voters.
Also, search doesn't work.
Observe: http://videosift.com/video/Nirvana-Come-As-You-Are is perfectly good, yet check out what shows up in search: http://videosift.com/search?q=nirvana+come+as+you+are
Not even (0) shows up in any category.
EDIT: Both problems seem to be resolved now. Thank you. >> ^lucky760:

That's what bug reports are for.
Fixed. And fixed.
Bug report: Your avatar is still a creepy leprechaun horse. This is a problem.

Isn't that horse theme over now?
