yeah but how do u kno if ur video will be put on the site or not...like how long does it take?

It will be on the site unless clip theft is spotted then it will be removed.

And you never know when exactly your vid will appear. It could be a few minutes even a few days. It all depends when someone on the council is on and can post them. I thin kthat's how it goes

MG, is right in what he's told you.

What we do is once your video is submitted it goes to a staging area where council members can access them. Whichever council member is on that has time goes there and watches the videos that are there. We watch them all the way through to ensure quality in terms of the link works and no clip theft. Now sometimes they slip through but we always try and catch stuff like this at the staging level. Then the video is posted to the site with a "Judging in Progress" message. The council members then vote on it and if it gets 3 Yes votes then it gets a council pick and if it gets 3 No votes then it does not ge a council pick.

But like MG said it can be a few minutes or a few days just depending on when a council member has time to get into the staging area and go through things and also how many videos are in front of yours.

I hope that helps clear stuff up for you.

I just checked and all the videos we still have to watch through have been submitted in the past day or two so if you don't see your video on the site then something must have happened during submission of the video. You can check the Lost and Found topic in the videos forum to see if maybe the vidder area on your vid wasn't filled in because that's where we post videos such as that. Other then that all I can recommend is resubmitting it because, like I said, we only have recent videos in our staging area. I'm sorry this has happened. If you also want to give me the name of your video I'll look and see if maybe I can find out what happened.

There is also one other possible scenario that happens to often lately. If you set up your profile without a e-mail address and something is wrong with the video link then we'd have had no way to get in contact with you. So that's a good tip for everyone please make sure you have your e-mail address on your profile and if you don't then e-mail us or PM me and we'll make the necessary updates.

So obviously something happened but please do resubmit your video and I'll look into what happened that has caused this to happen.

I don't remember ever seeing that entry come in to the site and I did a serach of our voting forum and can't find anything in there either. I'm not sure what has happened but it seems like something went wrong with the submission. I'll ask Enchirito about it but in the meantime please try to resubmit and if it doesn't work again then we'll look into what could possible be going on. Please let us know when you resubmit and we'll check to make sure it goes into the voting area.
