The New New VideoSift
I think that does it. We don't have a cheesy "beta" image on our header, but we're definitely beta. (Maybe forever), so please just let us know here when you find the inevitable bugs.
I won't go through and thank everyone again, I did that here, but I will say a general thanks to the whole community. You guys have made me a believer in the power of online communities. Many hands make light work. I think I'm turning into a cyber-communist.

Is that a sifter up there or is that thing just happy to see me?
beautiful dag, well done
Looks great!
We do need the discard list so we let folks know where their missing vid is.
IE cant vote (so far) things have been evolving into place it seems
Will there be a "bugs" blog? I found a link that goes to the old site, and I don't know if this is where I should post it....
If you click on the "Top 15 Members by Rank" on the right it takes you to the old site.
voting works in IE now

Just post them here Daphne. We will squash them as they are found.
Daphne, just killed your bug. ;-)
Wow! Ya'll are fast! I just hope you guys aren't Buddhists.
Where's the giftshop? ;-)
I want a shirt that says, "Sift happens..." hee hee hee
OOO! James and dag bobbleheads!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
New bug...
When you click on a user's name from the comments in FF, a page appears with "Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/libs/utils.php on line 183"
Dag or James, when you right click on a member to open their profile in a separate window.. this comes up:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/libs/utils.php on line 183
OOO! We're sympatico!
I want an Isifter figuring to hook up to my cd player that dances and lights up
we're conjoined twins, daphne
yeah, we just found that... working on it too.
"Sift Happens" made me chortle
i feel as though the house, having been lifted by the twister, finally fell with a jerk and a thud, we walk to the front door with toto, open it, and ... oooh, theres VideoSift2.0

Member profile bug, fixed by Lucky, I think.
Gads, you people are fast!
I just noticed no link to the SiftOff. Has it been pushed to the back burner?

We'll make an announcement at the top of the sidebar, encouraging people to go off and vote.
dag, on the queue page ..down on the right at "Latest Post from Sift Talk"...the latest blog link sends you back to the 1.0 look
edit.. I meant "queue" sorry

Fixed SG - thanks.
Good job guys! It looks amazing!
Um? Why is there a new limit placed on video submissions in a 24 hour period? My quest for Gold must not stop!
hate to bug you guys ...can't post. after I clicked submit..I just got a blank posting form again
Same here, swampgirl. It's awfully pretty but it just won't let us post.

Thanks guys, we're looking at this now.
The top users link on the front page in between recent comments and tag cloud seems to bring up the whole list of users in alphabetic order.
Looks great Dag, love the new posting features/functions.
The "queue tab" has stopped displaying a total.
"Queue tab" total is back. I noticed that my total of votes on the front page is lagging behind. Is that true for any other folks?
You may have not noticed in the past. Your current ranking is a chron job that gets run about once an hour. It would probably bring the site to it's knees if we tried to keep up with such things in real time.
The front page says 3497. The profile says 3542. Something's not working. I realize it is further down on the list compared to other problems.
It's fixed now.
Are discards occurring. I have not seen anything in the discard box?
Yeah, but when you load your profile page it is doing a real time check. Where as the sidebar is based on a chron job that runs once an hour. If it hasn't updated by the morning we will take a closer look at it.
In fact it looks like it just ran ;-)
The type in the Sift Talk is now centered instead of flush left.
I noticed the texts and numbers for vote graphic is not centered. See my screen shot:

Ant try hitting ctrl - It looks like your text is slightly larger than the mozilla default, which is why you are getting the problem. We are working on scaling the site to work with non standard font sizes, but it's not there yet.

centering problem on sift talk fixed. Thanks Dotdude.
James: Using smaller font size doesn't fix it.
There's nothing showing up in the discard bin still.
Posting still needs some looking.
I was almost through the process of posting and when I got to the page that gives you possible dupes, I decided to edit my tags to include something of the other's tags.
After I edited and "submitted" the vid wasn't published in the queue...it was sort of in limbo. It had a comment box, but no voting buttons. I had to backpage back to the original posting form to edit and submit.
I had the same problem swampgirl. I just resubmitted and it seemed to work fine. I wonder if it's a browser issue (I'm using IE 6.0.2900)
It's probably the secondary edit that's broken. We will take a look at it.
The problem (re: swampgirl) is that the video was not yet fully submitted when you click the 'edit this' link on your video. It's fixed now by removing the 'edit' link from an incomplete submission.
Ant, I can't duplicate your problem unless I increase font size.... Maybe someone else will have the same problem and can give us some insight.
On my office computer, I have the same problem.
James, did you use Mozilla v1.7.13 suite's Web browser? Not Firefox and SeaMonkey. It's no big deal since it doesn't break the site. It is just not centered.
first let me say that i love the new site. way cool.
having said that, i am incredibly annoyed by the fact that the side panel (top fifteen fastest rising videos, etc.) is intruding into the actual video space. you have to enlarge it to see the whole thing, but at the cost of quality.
Please, dag or James, fix this problem.

Thanks for the feedback Dignant. Can I ask what screen resolution you're running at, and what browser you are using? Would you be able to send us, or link us to a screenshot?
My son's computer had the same issue as Dignant has...then I realized that he was still on 800 X 600 res. It's quite messy at 800 X 600. But going to a higher resolution fixed it.
The new 2.0 is nice, Dag. Who all helped fix the bugs last night?
This site is loads of fun, thanks for starting it.

Thanks SG, The bug team was Lucky760 James and myself. I think it's running pretty smoothly now, but it was touch and go for a while.
Our server load is a bit higher with all of the extra stuff, but we just upgraded (again) so I think our new beefy server will handle the load.
There are a few more things to add, one fairly significant new feature, and then I think we will be done for a while.
