Discussions

I've just noticed that there is no more "Videos" tab right beside the "Photos" tab up at the top. Is this a glitch, or a permanent decision? I enjoyed the video tab, and often posted my YouTube videos there. I'd be sad to see it go, and frankly a little confused as to why.

Adam posted yesterday that the page got some updates- including the addition of the JOBS and HOMES tabs to the front page, and the removal of the VIDEOS and WISHES tabs.

Hey Liam,  
 
Thanks for the note and chance to clarify. You have some nice vids that have really added to discussions.  
 
A few tweaks were made based on how folks use the site and based on the stats the video section just wasn't one that gets enough usage to justify its own tab on the main site menu or the front page compared to for example Jobs. For example on an average day the Videos tab would get less than 50 pageviews whereas jobs averages between 7000 and 8000 per day and has its share of days over 10,000.  
 
There is still the opportunity to and I'd strongly encourage you to post a YouTube video to relevant discussions (or start a new thread that shares a video as a point for discussion) and still opportunity to post video to ones profile, but there just isn't a use case going forward for a larger and prominent general site-wide page of video links from the main menu where folks access frequently used features like classifieds, discussions, news, Weather, photos, events, etc. There is however a link in the box at the bottom of the page for anyone that would still like to access.

Thanks for your reply and the information Adam. Makes sense to discontinue something that brings in virtually zero traffic compared to other things on here that are getting 10,000 clicks per day as you said.
