Hmm. This is a good idea. Not initially certain about how technically feasible it is.

We'll need to put some thought into how we might be able to accomplish something like that.

Thanks, I was worried you might just think I was being lazy.

Lazy!

Sift seems to have no problem sending automatic emails. Sending one maybe half an hour before it expires would be great. Or maybe you could even specify it in your user settings.

Awarding JAPR with one star point for this contribution to Sift Talk - declared quality by cybrbeast.

That's a great idea but cybrbeast has a good point about more time or us manually setting it. Thunderbird I think defaults to 10 minutes between message checks and that might leave little time to get the message and requeue. I'd guess other programs would commonly run in a 10-15 minute range as well.

This feature has been added. For technical reasons (which are the ones I was hinting at above), it won't inform you at a specific time prior to video expiration, but will inform you some time between 1 and 2 hours prior to queued video expiration.

Please report if you get the email and it looks fine or if your queued video expires without you ever receiving it. Thanks.

Drattus, get with the times, man! Gmail is where it's at! Plus, Gmail notifier is instantaneous.

Just got the email for my http://www.videosift.com/video/PTA-knockout and it looks good. It even has the exact time!

Yes, I'm a vote whore.

Gmail is good with notifiers, but it sucks with POP forwarding.

MGR, I do have email accounts there and elsewhere web based but mostly as a backup address for when I change ISPs. In addition to what JAPR mentioned I still use Usenet on occasion. The free web based usenet interfaces from google and elsewhere tend to be limited so it makes sense for me to keep what I have for regular use since I'd be running it anyway. Each to their own I guess.
