Hi Jaxel

Thank you for taking the directory to next level.

The new layout is awesome, I will not mind if you remove the report system and auto thread system but please do not leave the sidebar area, navbar links under the tabs are not so noticeable, sidebar looks always awesome. A confusing thing is 1280 width, most of my users have 1024 width monitors, please take care of it.

thank you and good luck

I'm optimizing the DEFAULT settings for 1280 width monitors.

Home Page design done... I made the entire display script modular, so putting in sections for highest rated and most popular videos is extremely easy to do. Because of the modular nature of the display script, the category, and user pages are also done. The tag pages will also be very easy to implement the same way. 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.
