Regarding layout, could live feeds be displayed in place of the Vimeo teaser when on? A link to info about the live chat with the next recording schedule would also be useful.

I think it refers to an uploaded date. Or it's a double double X porn reference.

You know, 50:50.

It's the unpause point in each ep, so you can time it right. Or just skip right there, if you're THAT kind of person

It feels a bit too "busy". Oddly dark, too but perhaps that's more an issue on my end? I second the notion of having more than one sample video of collected clips (what's really creepy about this vid is the fact that I've been tinkering with the idea of making a sampler vid for Sofa Dogs to put up on YouTube for the past few weeks now!).

It also just occurred to me that some sort of warning about strong language and possibly offensive material might be a good idea, either on the main page or in the video itself, or both (like Zarban, starting off with the Columbine quote was kind of startling, even though I'd heard it before).

You know what else might help? Listing the movie title of the clip somewhere on the screen. Not only does it provide important context and info for those that might be unable to make out what they're seeing (either due to an unclear picture like me, or maybe it went by too fast), it also might get someone curious to check out a title they've not seen before (What the hell was that? Wait, they made a remake of The Blob?! Was that SHAWNEE SMITH?! Awesome!).

Okay, as for the layout and functionality of the new, overall look, I like it! I'm using Chrome, but it's late and my eyes are bloodshot, so I'll tinker with the buttons and features after much-needed nap time.

Searching for a film title (e.g Jaws), getting a single result, and then scrolling the mouse wheel in the results pane loses the single result so you have to search again.

I can't seem to replicate this in IE7-9, Firefox, or Chrome (Edit: or Safari, or Opera). Any more details?

Oh..huh, k, I get it now, but Holden, you might want to put that somewhere on the site, cause apparently neither me or fixed knew what the fuck it was.

Also, if you're going to do it, it should be on all of them, it threw me off only seeing it on a couple of them; like "wtf is so special about these ones?"

This.

Although I disagree about the video being to cluttered and dark, I thought it was stylish and cool and considering the video isn't the point of it, it's just there to provide a sense of reference and something to look at. I think having the video clip with the title of the movie would be the best solution.

Re: So. Anybody want to see DIF 3.0?

We can just have it say unpause point.

Re: So. Anybody want to see DIF 3.0?

That works.

Edit: Question...why is it even in the title at all? Just let the title be the title, and put the unpause point in the description. Why clutter up the title with unnecessary info? Keep it simple and clean.

For some reason the episode list is only going down to Little Shop of Horrors. I have a slow connection, but when I do a search for the missing episodes the covers pop up instantly so they were in fact downloaded but not displayed. Safari 5.1

We've started just putting the UPP in the iTunes feed, not the episode titles.

I think the safari thing works now as well. There's something about those webkit browsers that doesn't like the plugin I'm using for the scrollbox.

There's still a bunch on the DiF 3.0 side bar that have the UPP in the actual title, it looks cluttered and nasty.

Re: So. Anybody want to see DIF 3.0?

Oh yeah. Fixed now.

Anyway, here's something that bugs me a little. Let's say that I'm in the 'Release' column. I scroll halfway down. Then I switch columns. The scroll bar doesn't change, and I'm halfway down the next column.

I looked at this, and what I can tell from experimenting is, that is is doing an overall search, so in the case of Jaws, JA is puling in anything that has Jake as a panelist, as it's searching not just the title, and so on.

Bingo. It searches the titles, the commentators, and a special list of tags Teague sets up for each episode.

Let me know if it's fixed for you, now. I went into the plugin itself and added a few things that should have solved that problem.
