'Long' tag added to videos
The experimental 'long' tag which was added to a video recently was a good idea - you don't always have time to watch a long post. But I don't like the 'zzzzzzz' because it implies that a post is boring. Some subjects are too complex to do justice to them in a 5 minute clip. Furthermore, there are some long clips online which are not available anywhere else and which really deserve to be watched.

Point taken. Can we get some suggestions for alternatives to the "zzzz"?
i had originally thought just a pile of film would do it justice. I too was a bit off put about the zzz's but kept my opinion to myself. Glad to see someone else agrees.
good point gwaan..although most of your posts make me want to go to sleep
um..how about replacing the zzz's with a little clock face?
ooooh and gwaan can get a special sign of a face yawning
I like the idea of a film reel - but a clock would be ok.
Michie could get a special 'RV' sign - after all, he is trailer boy
Yes, I like the clock face too. Nothing fancy needed, just something simple to get the idea across...
thanks firefly. possibly a + sign over the clock face?
gwaan : Recreational Vehicle my arse strictly caravan man me i'm flicking spiders slap head with my finger now. can you feel that gwaan? Eh?
I suppose this debate depends on whether the updated Sift will include 'film' or 'documentary' channels.
Michie - you probably take your holidays at Grangemuir Caravan Park in the East Neuk!
gwaan: it's a quality establishment...so don't knock it. besides i get discount in the winter months. they do a lovely porridge icecream with salt sprinkles and there's not nearly as many dead bodies this time of year.

OK, clock face is a good idea. We'll change it.
how long will the sift need to be to get the new tag? 10..20 minutes?
Michie is a pikey?
ROFL....yeah feel my mullet
15+ min to me is a long video ...
right now the verbage on the button asks for any video over 10 minutes to get flagged with the "long" tag. This will be a general rule as there is no way for us to enforce it.
thanks james

'zzzzzz' g'nite sifters yawn
The contribution of, "Long Winded Diatribes",(a playlist available to peruse), communicates the zzzz, without placing blame on needed rest.
All for leaving it up to the contributors to adding categories, in the form of the playlist....make the dynamics of the playlist, the interactive difference, that sets the site apart form others.....
