The posted date/time is and has always been available. Just hover your mouse over the "published by" type label.

How about a visual cue? Something like...

.hoverformore {
   border-bottom:dotted 1px;
   cursor:help;
}

*promoted

*taunted

and i recommend you order the fries instead of the mashed potatoes.

How about searching for videos that have no channels assigned? That would make a nice playlist for people to start categorising.


Well: I did this a few times as you can already do this by filtering out all channels:), the posts without a channel assigned will be left..I can recommend opening a new tab in your browser so that you don't need to deselect all those channels afterwards.

RE: Sharing tools
I notice that users can submit the video to Stumble Upon
Other sharing sites should be considered, and maybe lump in "Email" into a drop down of Sharing options - (I really like how they do it at the TechDirt website) and add other sharing sites as more can be integrated.

I never used it, but that used to be a "Submit to..." link, which, when clicked, would open a selection of options (digg, reddit, stumbleupon, delicious). Not only did the other options go away, it screwed up the layout there as well.


RE: "more inside"
Also, I'm sure this was intended at first, but I'll reiterate that the "more inside" cut off message when descriptions are too long should be css:show and show users right there "more" when clicked without having to take the user to a separate window.

YES! This has been suggested frequently before. Perhaps now its time has come. Please.

I've noticed that every once in a while I lose a star point. I wouldn't mention it now except that I just lost another one. I've gone through all my discarded posts and dead videos and I can't figure out why it would've happened.

Did your # of applauded comments go down? Perhaps you had a really good comment on someone else's video that got discarded.

since you were unknowingly my muse in the matter...

I think I'm in the minority on this one, but bring back the requeue! Make it a button, and give it a limit of two or three.
Also, I recall a sift talk post from a few weeks back where someone suggested having Xbox Live style achievements. That might be neat.

Instead of requeue, make *beg a button and limit it to three tries. Some achievements would be awesome. I'm totally an achievement whore.

How about on our member page you give us the ability to list some of our favorite members, with links to each member's page. That would make it easy for us to communicate with other members. Sort of like a contact list for your email.

This could be automatically generated: "Who's comments have you upvoted/downvoted the most?" You'll get yourself a friend/nemesis list right there.


I like the concept of stumble upon, so I think we should steal it! I blaze over many, many videos here unless they catch my eye for whatever reason, so a "forced closer look" would not be bad. If it was made so videos you already voted for weren't included, it could be awesome.

I'm-a-gonna go ahead and plagiarize a suggestion I made for 3.2:

RE: Leaving a comment
And I support being able to leave a comment right there under the video in the listing view, instead of having to go to the video link.

(I'll be following up with another from another time that may have to wait for VideoSift 4.0...)

I never knew that. I always got confused when the time stamp resets once making it to the front page. This was always an issue when finding dupes, and I think it's very misleading. I can see some new gold star members not knowing to hover over "published by" (hell, I didn't even know that) and discarding videos they see as a dupe.

More thoughts:
1. A warning when downvoting a video. Nothing sucks more than downvoting a video you intended to upvote.
2. 1 channel creation per person.
3. Instant star point for any mention of A$$ GR@V33.
4. It would be cool if there were more privileges past the 250 diamond. I'm at a lost for ideas on that one, though. I'm no help.

I wouldn't change too much, personally, because you don't want to ruin an already good thing.

I'm not in favor of that.

My name would be used so much, it would once again crash the servers. Just saying.

You can block channels. (Account ->filters)

• I definitely think the Top 15 needs to turn over a little more quickly. I suggest videos stay eligible for 2 days from time published, rather than 4 days from time queued. That will also level the playing field for vids that got unlucky in the queue.
   
• I also strongly agree that the site could use a graphical refresh. Unfortunately I'm way too swamped ATM to do any mockups, but here are a few links for design inspiration:

• Oh, and I'd love to have the ability to block a channel. Politics, I'm looking at you.

Like Zonbie said above and I've been saying since the 3.0 launch, stop hiding the post time once a video is published. NEVER hide the post time. We need it for judging dupes.

They aren't "hidden" - just hover over "published by" and you can see the queue and posted times.

Can we have a 'Submitted on (mm/dd/yy)' on all videos so its easier for Gold Stars to *discard a dupe without wondering if its close which one was posted first - not which was was published first (also when you * promote a video to unsifted its time restarts which can make things even worse)



A "HQ" embed button add the &ap=%2526fmt%3D18 to the end of the video would be great (tricky I know) as they are LOADS of videos out there with this feature (the picture is better but often the sound is the biggest improvement, louder and crisper)

Of course, caution to the user to make sure the video does have a HQ embed version or else the "This Video Is Not Available" will appear.

More fancy UI! Maybe for v4.0 but it has been said before that visually we should be even better

another piece of info in the 'profile' section of each user
quality comments (number) browse
last embed fixed (number) days ago
User (Here!/Not Here! Online/Offline)

Beggars Canyon should have a small section of the UI dedicated (like a top rated comment box at top of page) to encourage people to view BC more

Profiles could have the option (selected by profile option) of showing a FaceFuck style bulletin of what that person has done

Zonbie left a comment on Dag's Profile
Zonbie posted a commnt on sifttalk VideoSift-35-Roundtable
Zonbie posted a new video (blah blah)
etc etc you get the idea

searching by channel

as stated before: even better when you can search in 2 or 3 or more selected channels, so one can search e.g. all dark mystery shortfilms or all parody meme comedy posts..

Absolutely! In fact, if it's possible to have multiple keywords in the channel selection box, how about in the submitter box as well. So, for instance, I could search for all music vids posted by eklek, kulpims, and farhard to get my fix of really weird shit.
