DHutch Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 The featured videos are selected by @RichM so if you have a suitable clip please approach him. Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Are we allowed to approach him about ones that are so intensely irritating that they need taking down? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought those of that bothered to vote in the poll have already done that. The last time I looked the consensus was to remove them. It seems that the poll and the results, whatever they were, have now gone quiet. My opinion for what it's worth is that the videos are not interesting and a nuisance on the forum front page.

RichM Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Last time I checked, it was a mixed result when considering all votes. The videos featured are what's known as a YouTube "vlog" or video blog. Viewed by thousands of viewers, they provide a visual perspective of boating and the lifestyles that come with it. Some of the individuals who produce the featured videos also make references back to Canal World and in doing so, they're increasing our internet exposure. I guess you could call it as a form of promotion which works for them and Canal World, without costing anyone anything. As with any forum, people come and go and as such we're keen to keep people coming, both new and existing users. I will see if we can find a way to hide them for those who would prefer to do that. Though, I understand a few users do this via browser addons. Feedback is always welcome. RichM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenataomm Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 My short cut to the forum takes me directly to "View new content" so I avoid them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
