[QUOTE="Tony, post: 160077, member: 1"] I forgot about this so lets add on to what I posted above.... Are you ready?.... :ranton: So there was a banner on one of my channels the other day (it is on all channels, but I saw it on RCH first) about Annotations. You remember, you could actually set about 20 seconds at the beginning of a video listing where everything was in a video and all they ahd to do was click on it and they could go to that section of the video. And on the entire video, there would be a link to take you back to the beginning, much like a DVD menu. Well, this is the banner that is on top of the channels now... [ATTACH=full]21067[/ATTACH] You may need to click on that to make it larger. It says "UPDATE: Video annotations haven't been getting much love from our viewers, so effective January 15th we'll no longer be showing them". Does anyone else see hands being forced here? Because I certainly do. Quite a while ago they removed the ability to add or even EDIT EXISTING Annotations which means even if you had them, you could not edit them. So now, they come out with that BS "UPDATE" saying that they "haven't been getting much love from viewers"!!! I WONDER WHY?!?!?!?! If you can't add them and you can edit them, how in the HELL are they going to get "love"?!?!?! Here is what the Annotation page (where you used to be able to edit and create them) says now. You used to at least be able to see them... [ATTACH=full]21068[/ATTACH] It's true, mobile users have taken over, but why completely destroy an awesome feature? Yes, some channels took it way too far and made videos unwatchable, but for those, just turn them off. On the ones that were done classy, this is a punishment. It takes hours to get things like that setup and now they are just going to kill them. Sometimes I wonder how a company like this has grown as large as they have.

Does any of this make sense to any of you? I would really like to know. /rant [/QUOTE]
