Okay... How did THIS get fucked up today?

[MrMickeysMom]

Here's the picture from DU's home page sidebar, subject line, "Other Governments in Space" -


However, here's the actual Video OP -
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017317458

One had nothing to do with the other, but someone can somehow insert this picture.... and for what purpose?
Was it some mystery? I already "asked the administrators", which .... good luck with that one.

[Agschmid]

1. Probably a conspiracy...

[MrMickeysMom]

2. Probabilities are a dime a dozen...

I really want to know from a perspective of online web management or perhaps the root level of someone who might handle media or be an IT specialist. Like I said, I already "asked the administrator".

Wise guy comments are a dime a dozen, also. So, unless you have something more technically proficient to say, thanks for playing.

[Agschmid]

4. Conspiracy, final answer.

7. aliens

[Octafish]

19. Like smears?

Possibly. So MrMrickeysMom asked a question, and it's a problem for you why?

[Agschmid]

20. I didn't say I had a problem...

I just was giving my opinion on what could have caused the issue with the video title.

If MrMickeysMom was offended, no offense was meant. But since you are not MrMickeysMom who knows?

[Octafish]

21. No, I took offense at how you wrote in reply to the OP.

I don't recall MrMickeysMom belittling other DUers.

Now that I understand where you're coming from, it's easy to peg your posts.

[Agschmid]

22. You probably should step away from the keyboard...

Slowly.

Everyone around here could learn to be less offended a bit more often.

3. 'Bernie Sanders delivers VERY POWERFUL speech to the WORLD!'

Is the actual youtube title...so things that make you go 'hmmmm'...

[PeaceNikki]

5. The owner of the youtube video (not DU) determines what the thumbnail image will be.

[PotatoChip]

6. But we are talking about 2 different videos and 2 different owners.

There would be no thumbnail to use because the picture of Bernie would not be in the "Space" video.

[PeaceNikki]

8. OK, then I am going with Agschmid's theory.

[PotatoChip]

9. You guys seem to be obsessed with Conspiracy Theories.

Isn't there already a DU group for that?

[PeaceNikki]

10. Hrm You're playing awfully fast and loose with the phrase "obsessed with"

[PotatoChip]

11. !

[Agschmid]

14. There absolutely is!

And I wish that's where this stuff ended up, but alas it does not.

[MrMickeysMom]

23. So somebody could have gone to video manager & clicked, "edit"...

I see!

[pinboy3niner]

12. Looks like somebody simply grabbed the wrong video and link from Video & Multimedia Forum

They went to Segami's post by mistake. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017317391

[PeaceNikki]

13. This is the correct answer. One only has to see the edits on the thread in this OP to prove it

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=thread&info=1&address=1017317458


The OP of the thread in question mistakenly posted the Bernie video - that's what was thumbnailed when it went to the home page

[Agschmid]

15. Phew thanks all you techie folk.

[PeaceNikki]

16. But I remain confident that it's part of a vast conspiracy.

[pinboy3niner]

18. ...

[PotatoChip]

17. Well, that makes sense.

Thanks.
