Say, before September of this year? If you answer yes, you'll find that popping open the app displays what you expect to see but search won't return results and clicking on a video in the Popular Videos list will play, however, quality is terrible.

- [](https://pivotce.com/forums/reply/827/) - Of course the tags will be placed in the footer! They are useful if you scrolled to the bottom and see what other topics you can find. Tags are also important for google, and I like them in a post to find other post to the topics. Maybe we could place the donation form there...
- [](https://pivotce.com/forums/reply/824/) - I love it. What would appear above Tags? Actually, does anybody use Tags to search? Can't say I've ever done it on purpose. "Where's the tags?" has never come out of my mouth. I expect to see a menu or perhaps a list of the articles on the left.

I'd like to retain the current layout of 2 columns, 2/3 for stories & 1/3 for the other stuff. Still with the Prelude font, I assume! I think the graphic challenge is one we should take on.
