All these pages use the same exact templates, its only the code-behind thats different.

I'm having a hard time understand the whole datamanager system, so I don't know if I'll be using it. The whole datamanager system was implemented with the original author, and he never implemented the VF_METHOD stuff correctly, so it really didn't do anything.

On the agenda:
video submission
video moderation
video editing
comment system
tagging system
rating system
search system

I don't think I will be re-implementing the video reporting function... It really served no purpose. As well, I will not be re-implementing the auto-thread creation function either; with the new sidebar module system, there really isn't a need.

Do you guys think I need to put a sidebar back in? With the new navtab system in VB4, I don't know if a sidebar is essential anymore.

You had mentioned something, oh, quite a while back about making the hosters easier to create. I'll be doing an updated definitions set for AME 3 pretty soon. Will you be able to make the definitions compatible with the next Directory? At the very least, some similarity in the XML files might make a basic find & replace method workable. I've looked at the hosting files before and it just didn't seem possible to convert the defs without a significant amount of trial and error.
