Top 15 - disappearing videos
Sorry if this has been posted before, I've had a look around but I couldn't find anything...
I'm a little confused as to how the Top 15 works - I've had a couple of sifts that have made the list, have been younger than some of the other vids (I assume that there's some form of published 'age' limit), and have had enough votes to stay there, but which suddenly drop out. The Recoiless Nuclear Rifle one is a good example.
Is this just the way of the Sift?

fireflyThe top 15 is based on the queued date. Your nuclear rifle vid, while published a day ago, dropped off because it was actually queued 4 days ago. Hover over the "published by" and you'll see it.
lucky760It only selects videos that were queued <= 4 days ago. The video you linked was published a day ago, but queued more than 4 days ago.
Yeah, something definitely needs to be added to the FAQ.
gorilla_squad says...Great, thanks for explaining.
maatcThere have been a few posts regarding this and it seems to confuse people a lot.
Did you know you can do an advanced search? (next to search button top right)
Like a search for "Top 15" in "Search Sift Talk only" would have given you this result
gorilla_squad says...dur, thanks.
