hmmm... well, before 3.0 there would have been nothing you could do about it except hope that some goldstar was nice and came along and *saved it.

Now, however, I think you might be able to use the *requeue command... at least according to: http://www.videosift.com/starpower

although I've yet to invoke this one so I can't attest to its actual magic. So maybe someone else can answer this one better. But that link leads to all the invocations you can make as a member, star benefits, etc.

Hi Oxdottir-

This is the perfect place to ask such questions, especially if there are other members unsure of what to do. Fyi, there's also a reference to it in the FAQ.

As Raven said, you can invoke on any of your queued videos once they have been queued for at least two days. I see that you just tried, but it was already discarded, and that's why it faild. I went ahead and changed your video back to queued, so you can *requeue it now (before SiftBot discards it again).

Actually, dotdude was kind enough to *save your video, so the 4 day timer has been reset. (That's the only other way to reset the timer besides invoking *requeue.)

Thank you!

hint: if video has at least 5 votes, if you can wait until it almost reached 4 days, because between 3rd and 4th day it will likely be in "top15 expiring soon" and get some more votes.

requeue is kick-asss, raven, 4 votes, 3 days and 23 hrs, is a good rule athumb...
