I find that I can't always remember which ones I've watched and voted on. Some I watched and didn't vote either way. I realize we have the option of changing our votes, but I'd like to be able to immediately see which ones I've viewed and already voted on, what my vote was, and which are new since my last visit. It wouldn't be such a big deal, but since there is time spent waiting for videos to load, the features I suggested would make visiting and participating go faster. A suggestion for next time.
