Sort all the videos

It’s been a few days since this new feature is online, and everything seems to be ok.

For those who didn’t notice it, you can now sort all the videos on the homepage of Wide6.
All you need is to:

1. choose your sort filter (by date, by duration or by ‘most viewed’),
2. leave the search field empty and
3. press the “search” button.

And it works whichever time period you choose.

Thanks to all of you who suggested adding this feature to Wide6 (I should have thought of it much earlier).

Better, Faster, Stronger

This month, we'll be busy working!

We started work already this week-end by modifying Wide6's database.

Using Wide6 should already be faster. By the way, we apologize for the few malfunctionings you may have noticed. There's always some bugs remaining after important modifications, but everything should quickly be back to normal.

Anyway, if you do notice that Wide6 is faster early in August (or, on the contrary, if you think it's too slow), don't hesitate to let us know, using the comments.

You can help Wide6 getting better...

Flag a video

Since yesterday, you've probably noticed the presence of a 'Flag' button beside every video link. This new functionality will allow some more interaction between you and Wide6.

By clicking the 'Flag' button, you can now flag any problem encountered with a video link, which can be:

• technical (spam, wrong tag, dead link),
• moral (illegal content, violent content, infamous content),
• legal (copyright infringement, privacy invading).

You also can leave me a message to tell me more about the flagged video link.

Your requests will generally be satisfied in less than 24 hours, when the next Wide6 database update will be done.

Now feel free to leave comments about that.

Moviegator dead?

We've had no news of the streaming website Moviegator since May 28th.

As we think they won't be back, we decided to delete all the links to Moviegator's videos from our database. So, it makes 5,000 videos missing from Wide6.

But don't worry, there'll be many new websites in our database from July.

We didn't find any explanation for the disappearance of Moviegator. This website was pretty clean, fast and nice, so it's a shame.

Please contact us if you know something about that.

Cleaning dead links

April's report: about 12,000 dead links have been deleted from Wide6's database.

I think Wide6 needs to be updated twice a month now.

To conclude about the hacking of Wide6

After a few weeks of work, I think we can say that the matter is definitely closed with the hacking of Wide6.

Obviously no information has been stolen (there wasn't anything to steal anyway).

The hacker has just put links on some web pages. Thoses links automatically redirected visitors to disreputable websites. I've tested (using Firefox and Chrome) those websites which are classified as dangerous by Google, but no virus has been installed here. Unfortunately my test can't be a conclusive proof that no malware has been installed during the hacking of Wide6.

Since then our security has been reinforced (though we know that a infallible security can't be guaranteed).

So everything is back to normal. Wide6 is now more secure, no real damages in the end, but I advise you to use an antivirus like Avast (for example) to protect your computer.

Cleaning dead links

March's report: about 10,000 dead links have been deleted from Wide6's database.

In fact, videos are regularly deleted because of copyright infringement. So we have to update Wide6  by removing also those unavailable links as often as possible.
