Are there any guidelines for the application of categories or tags? I love this site so far and love that media which appeals to various expressions of fighting fetish are getting concentrated somewhere... with all the use created content, this is like fight fetish YouTube and I think it's brilliant.

However, I'm finding it hard to isolate stuff. For example, I figured "grappling" was being used to mean "competitive submission" but I am finding vids that are pro style works in the category (I'm assuming because it's on a mat and the guys are barefoot, etc... it looks more like traditional grappling). It's not a big deal, but if there isn't a preview for a vid to make that apparent, it's a bit hard to tell what's what.

Like I said, I love the site. It would be awesome to more accurately find stuff, though.

Hello, I'd like to change my nickname, but not the name as a whole; I merely want to change the lower-case character g to a capital G. Is that possible?

This might be a technical problem. Can you please open a case here: https://www.watchfighters.com/Support/topic/100
It would be great to provide one example link and the device and browser you are using.

If i were a video company, i would prefer that the related videos shown on a video page i'd uploaded, were from my own videos only. I wouldn't want to send my fans to the competition.

This 'problem has two sides: Maybe your new fans are finding YOUR channel by visiting the competition.

  • It is now possible to add trailers or screenshots to monetized videos. To do that: open your video and click on "edit preview."
  • If a video is monetized, you can now see the whole page (comments, likes, length, preview if available) before you buy.

Fixed:

  • Deleting videos
  • Video title bugs - renaming (and some other problems regarding the title)
  • Channel Banner fixed. If your banner is still wrong, reupload the banner. This will fix the problem.
  • Additionally, we implement tons of minor bug fixes and glitches that pop up in the log files as the site gets more used. Thanks for using and playing around in the closed-beta!

Currently, work in progress:

  • Video page for paywalled videos is redesigned to give a better overview before buying.
    • Trailer option: the ability to 'auto-generate' or upload a separate video as a trailer.
  • Removing 'share to twitter' from videos
  • The creation of Thumbnails

Coming later:

  • Overview of all Channels

Thanks again for all the testing and feedback. Really appreciate it!. (Also to the members who used the feedback form!)

1. No visual identification to tell beforehand if a certain video requires payment.

2. Top right "user icon", when activated, the drop down menu overrides the icon, which makes closing the drop down menu annoying on mobile.

3. The drop down menu I mentioned on item 2 doesn't follow the screen on mobile interface, meaning it won't be visible if you scroll the page to the bottom.

4. When uploading a paid video, uploader should have an option to upload a separate trailer / free version of the same video, which would be shown for free to anyone.

1. Syntax Error when trying to share a video on Twitter by clicking the top left menu on the video itself.

Thanks for the feedback.

Small update:
about like button, mobile layout, forum design
The video layout is still in a very early design. It will not stay like that and for sure goes through a few more versions until we go public, as it is true for most of the layout. This included the like buttons.
The optimization for mobile layout is maybe at 50%. I will add your video slider to our list.
We are not sure if the forum makes sense on WatchFighters. For now, we added it as it does not hurt.

about deleting videos
I'm aware of that, it should be fixed over the weekend. I will let you know here.
The same is true for the renaming of videos, which on some occasions creates an error.
The upcoming update will fix another error regarding channel background pictures too.

Where did the signup message appear?

I can't delete the videos I uploaded. I clicked on the button saying I am sure I want to delete it, then I got the message "deleting video" , but nothing happens.

The message appeared asking if I wanted to sign up for updates. I clicked yes (of course!). It then gave a registration error message.

I just understood how the voting system works. There are actually only two buttons, although I still think it looks slight confusing.

There is an issue with both MeetFighters and WatchFighters related to how they count the number of replies on forums.

As of now, they are counting each thread post as a reply, however I think the original post should not be counted as a reply.

For example, currently, this thread has three posts, the original post by OP and two replies, so there are a total of two replies and three posts, not three replies as it is stated.

- There are twice as many buttons it would be necessary for video rating. This is a bit confusing.

- The video slider at main page looks great on mobile interface, but not so good on desktop.

- post date/time on forums should be placed below username, not next to it, since it will not fit it anyway on mobile interface. Also, it would look better on a smaller font size.
