I dont see it ;-;

EDIT: I figured that people were talking about the login page so I wen there. I love the Org even more now. \o/ I really love the whole AMV Spotlight thing.

Now i just need to start visiting the login page more... or would it be possible to put that in the main members page also and just have it be a collapsible notice ?

It was mostly done for non registered users to get a preview of what they can see (and get) if they register on the site. :)
If you notice, it doesn't even ask you to rate the stars even if you haven't seen the video yet. ;)

That's a great idea, but I could easily see the value of having it there for registered users to find new videos as well. I for one just found an epic Kuwabara video I never would have seen if not for the spotlight.

It's the top 10 star-scale vids then? (excluding MEPs)

What's the turnover like on those?

Top 10 star-scale vids of the week, but only vids under 10 mins show up. If no vid is short enough in the top 10, then it searches in the top 20, etc.

Also lol, new emoticon? Is doki having fun? :aimkissyface:

I got the "of the week" part. The turnover question still stands though (you might notice the current top 10 only has one video from this year).

EDIT - looked through a few months worth of weeks. Yea, there's definitely a wide range of VCA finalists and big names from years gone by. Lots of stuff that has it's own inertia.

Guys, you can all see the AMV, even logged in, the following PAGE.

I always thought there was some kind of rejection to streaming videos to outsiders (well, non-registered users in this case). I don't know if it was because that would make it more youtube-esque. But this is a good change for giving more life to the main pages, getting more exposition and reception to new AMV's. I like it.

I'm surprised at how quickly this got posted (less than 2.5 hours after I enabled it), but I guess that's because I have a bookmark to the members main page and rarely see the homepage.

I thought about it, but Corran recently mentioned that members main has been loading more slowly recently. That would just slow it down more.
Also, as mentioned, this is meant to allow new users to sample what's available. Just go to the weekly star scale to see what'll show up there.

This is an exception as previously noted. I implemented it after the feature was discussed at a recent mod meeting.
