No I'm currently not watchng anything.  I would suggest this gets re-worded.  I am currently not watching, except a progress indicator on one of my vms as it installs Server 2003

Someone suggested "WHAT NINERS ARE WATCHING".

I've added a page off of the Wiki where you can supply text suggestions. All of our strings in V4 are stored in a resource table (we're localized) so they are easier to change. See something you don't like? Add the text to the Wiki and make a suggestion.

Well, it all depends. "You" is ambiguous. If "You" is the second person plural or otherwise a "generic you" than it is proper and a well constructed English statement. However most people won't view that you as the second person plural since that is not the most common use of "You".

"What Niners Are Watching" is good but, it would be better to use the generic "others" and have "What Others Are Watching" is a wider scope that includes visitors to the site and active participants ("Niners") . Though it seems to be a "New On Channel 9" to me (since it is showing the latest two videos). Is it really the latest videos or will it be by number of hits (in the past x hours) or some other metric that would mean that a more popular older video that's currently being viewed would be shown where a brand new, but a video appealing to less people, wouldn't make the list?

Good points. All more the reason why I created a Wiki page, please feel free to update the Wiki accordingly with what you think the text should be.

Any comment to how those videos are selected? I'd prefer "New On Channel 9" rather than "What Others/Niners Are Watching" if that is how the videos are selected. Also, why only 2? There is a lot of blank real estate on the right with any thread longer than the two videos. Making it dynamic to fill the area (or even allow profile options for number of videos) or have multiple sections on the right would fill some of the "dead space" that is on every thread.

It's just a shame wiki editing sucks right now; 95% of the time I end up editing an old revision. And the editor is borked for me in Firefox.

And in IE it won't log me in at all.
