Instantly Discarded!
I was in the process of submitting this video when my browser crashed (Safari) I had a bunch of windows open and got the low memory warning so that wasn't a surprise. When I got back to resubmitting, I was told it was a duplicate URL...the one I had submitted 4 minutes earlier, and that it was discarded! Any way to save it? It's very nice...

hell that's frustrating. my discarded bins a wasteland of duplicates and submission screw ups
only way around the problem, as far as I know, is to resubmit with slightly different title to the original posting. then edit once you've posted.
I had a save handy, so it's back in the queue.
LOL! I just resubmitted as michie recommended and it was accepted even though the saved one was up with a dupe URL. I discarded the second one. Thank you maudlin! I hope you didn't waste a "save"
Rather than burning saves, what michie said has worked for me too when this kind of thing has happened. Re-submit the same video embed, but slightly change the title and tags.
As siftbot is a stupid, literal creature, the variety of expression invariably tricks it and it then moves on to go look at cylon porn.

...ahhhh sifty, the butt of all bot jokes
Ah well, I learned something today. *looks wise*
*quality - I had the same problem a while back: http://www.videosift.com/talk/I-have-a-problem-submitting-videos-please-help
Gold Star member gwaan has awarded lisacat one published post for this quality Sift Talk contribution.
oh no, careful...siftbot's going to take it out on ME guys! So far I've been able to appease it by offering up my own discards before the cut-off
Thanks gwaan! And a belated congrats on that fancy star there! One of these would suit you better - http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/~csk/projects/starpatterns/
