VideoSift made me unhappy
Apologies if this has already been asked and answered but what's going on with this site?
Siftbot is being an arsehole for a start. He used to be so responsive and eager to please, now it seems the fame has gone to his head, he'd rather hit the town and stay in bed for most of the day.
Then there's the layout.
When I click on 'Queue' all I can see is an immense line of vertical text. When I click on my profile everything that should be on the right hand side is on the left. Everthing that should be readable is in Egyptian.
Any reasons available? Is it my computer that has an illness?

djsunkidThe queue works fine for me, and your profile and my profile pages seem in order. I think it may be your computer.
deputydogShucks, not what I wanted to hear. Good job it's not my home pc.
I may actually have to do some work then.
James Roeyeah, i had the same experience as djsunkid
deputydogCheers chaps. Apologies for tarnishing the sift's reputation.
As for Siftbot, he's still in for a kickin'. I'll teach him to ignore me.
(Edit) Just found out thanks to Djsunkid that the bot wasn't ignoring me, it was just me being a tit.
michieDD ya old tart
wildmanBillI don't know DD, the queue is doing the same thing to me that you described (the vertical text)...minus the Egyptian thing, that's news to me.
deputydogWoohoo! It's not just me!
James Roewhat browser are you guys using it
deputydogI'm at work so it's that pesky IE. At home when I'm ridin' the Firefox I don't suffer any problems, I think that could be the answer. Plus the fact that this computer is actually older than Mother Theresa.
James Roeyeah, the queue appears to be borked in ie 6. Did this just happen today? None of us really use IE daily so we have a tendency to be a little johnny come lately to IE problems.
gwaanI'm using a mac with safari - and the last few days the sift has been doing all kinds of weird things. Vidoes not submitting properly, saved videos appearing discarded, odd layout of the pages, big gaps in the queue.
fireflyI've also noticed something else, don't know if it's related or not:
Not all of my playlists are being shown on my profile page. Is there a limit on how many can be displayed on a page? I have 11 total, but can only see 9. If I click the "playlist" link, then all of them can be seen.
(I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.10)
antI haven't seen any of those issues with SeaMonkey v1.1 at home and work. However, I do notice VS feeling slower (known issue).
gorgonheapI've had similar issues but I thought it was a glich on my system, seems we have something in common. But it's only at work where I use ie. At home Firefox is fine, speaking of which I need to go worship at my Firefox shrine.
