Hey Kip,

I just went and looked at your channel - and from what I saw - I think they are all listed right - If you take any particular rating (say +3) and look at all of the +3's together as a "block" - The latest one that was posted is at the top of that block - then they go down based on the age - the older the post - the further down in that "block"

Then when it goes to the next "block" of posts (rated +2) it does the same thing over again - the newest post in that block is at the top and they go down based on age.

At least I "THINK" that's what I'm seeing...

Okay that does appear to be the way they are sorted but should it be that way or by date like normal comments on a video?

Hi Again Kip,

I took a look at the comments on your videos (versus your channel) and it basically runs the same way - with 2 differences - in the "channel comments" the actual date is posted - in the video comments it says how "long ago" the comment was posted - which of course confuses the hell out of the issue - but then to go and make it even MORE confusing, the video comments have two columns - one for comments and a second for replies - now that REALLY throws a monkey wrench into the works - actually to simplify the matter all you have to do is take a look at the thing-a-ma-jig that sits on the what-ya-ma-call-it that makes the jolly-pop activate all three sets of vortex generators, resulting in the bi-lateral-oscillation of the low-pressure side of the wing-ding assembly.

See? - it's not all that complicated...

The JOLLY POP! Of course! I should have known! Thanks!

Any chance there's a way to have a player that can go on a blog or a MySpace that will automatically play the latest video added to a channel? Or perhaps is there a widget that starts by displaying a list of the latest videos on a channel and then allow users to click on them to watch them right there in the widget? I'd be fine if the widget were big enough to include a couple ads and a link back to Metacafe.

Hi thepete,

Welcome to Metacafe and the forums!

Any chance there's a way to have a player that can go on a blog or a MySpace that will automatically play the latest video added to a channel? Or perhaps is there a widget that starts by displaying a list of the latest videos on a channel and then allow users to click on them to watch them right there in the widget? I'd be fine if the widget were big enough to include a couple ads and a link back to Metacafe.

You cannot auto-play a video that is in the Producer Rewards program because Metacafe wants viewers to actually view videos and not have a site autoplay them whether they are viewed or not. There currently is not a widget but you can take advantage of the RSS Feed for your channel and post that.
