I should have brought this up when ES 2.0 was released, but anyways here goes. When viewing a video page it has a button to go back to videos. I could see why it was created, however it doesn't really add value to the navigation experience. Videos is either accessible from the ES toolbar, ES module, or our own site menu. I see it's used to make the top line feel less empty, however there are simpler layouts such as removing the top line altogether and placing the actions menu onto the same line as the video title.

While on the subject the variation is to link to the user's video as seen here: https://dev.peakfun.com/video/1-mount-jefferson?from=user
In this case the mini header addresses the issue of navigating to more of that user's videos.

On a related note, I've considered making a working/visible mockup of videos inside of a popbox (similar to photos). It would maximize the viewing space of the video, allow for full screen, and use tabs for information/comments/related. If you guys are interested I'd gladly create a working copy that if accepted could eventually make it into a future version of ES.
Hi Josh Lewis,

I've move this ticket under feature request, so our developers can keep tracks the feature that they can implement in the incoming EasySocial 2.1

Hi Josh

To be honest I am not quite sure that I understand 100% what you are talking about.

But did you see this thread here:

https://stackideas.com/forums/simple-trick-to-navigate-from-previous-to-next-video

This is an eg of how I am currently dealing with video navigation:

maybe it helps?

best

I'm referring to the Back To Videos button above the videos on the single video page. I was basically saying I could see why it was originally added, however it's an outdated linking method due to being redundant (you only need one link to the main videos or one link to the user's videos).

But did you see this thread here:

Replacing the Back To Videos button with a Next and Previous would be a great alternative. I avoid hacking my files when ever possible to reduce issues for Stackideas and myself. However I do use jQuery to append objects and AJAX to reconstruct layouts and grab data. If it's really important I'd be willing to go the hack route.
