Feature request: multipost support
It would be nice if there was support for multipart and linked posts. Mostly, this would be so that the poster can enforce the order in the queue, and if they are all voted up the order is retained. You could link the votes, so they are all voted for together. It would also be nice if they always showed on the same page, even if that exceeded the 10 per page limit. You might limit the number of linked posts, probably to 4 parts because I have seen a few 4 part posts.
This could be as simple as handling sequential (part #) in posts from the same account (maybe with a time limit), or adding a field to the post form to indicate this post follows another title.
For myself, I posted two unrelated clips that went better together. In the minute or so between my posts someone else had submitted another video, spoiling my comedic genius. I prefer not to see posts in parts, but I know we are sometimes at the mercy of the video posters and hosters.

this is on our drawing board, and has been for a while. We will probably encourage their use for genre films, or linked speeches etc...
Personally, I prefer multi-post Sifts to have part one submiited and the other parts linked in the comments - seems that an in-conveniently split-up YouTube post would get more votes than its Google Video equivalent (if they get through the queue: plus slightly more difficult to find the other parts if not both). Although, the feature would be useful for un-related posts (like your example Farcrafter...guess you're a fan of sci-fi RTS games with that name!?)
But then again, I tend to link related videos in the comment for my own posts anyway; such as a music video and live performance (or interview) and film clip with its soundtrack.
