My suggestion would be to ditch the three thumbnail layout that is currently there, and display a standard video layout (thumb, title, desc etc), but one that stands out more. Perhaps the thin white border around the thumbs could encapsulate the title and desc too? This would display the most recent promoted item. below this it could display a row of mini thumbs for other currently promoted vids. clicking one would replace the shown big vid above.... Perhaps they could cycle automatically if the user hasn't interacted with the promoted video box yet?

I'll transfer 10 power points to the person who comes up with the better solution (that also isn't the old system)

Yeah, not a fan of the new promoted videos system AT ALL.

1. They aren't visible enough - your eyes are drawn to the bigger, unpromoted videos below.
2. You can waste powerpoints if three other videos are promoted straight after you promote something... and lets face it, in the evenings, the vs 4.0 front page occasionally had 10 promoted videos. So this will happen.

Something needs to change here. This is more than just "getting used to the change".

This is being discussed in the VideoSift 5.0 bugs thread. It's affecting a lot of people.

On a person's profile page, where you can now choose to gift them some power points, could you make it so the number selection is limited to what is actually possible, based on their limits and my available power points?

So what happens when 4 videos are promoted in fairly quick succession? Nobody sees the first? Seems like a total waste of a powerpoint if so...

Thanks for the quality!
