Submission Form idea
When submitting a video I often have to pause for some time to check out in which channels this video could belong. This usually means going to their respective subdomains and reading the posting criteria.
My tip to make this process easier would be to make the channel text beside each checkbox a link to that subdomain (or a specific page with posting guidelines for that channel)
This might also have the added advantage of less videos posted to wrong channels.
Alternately the information you get when you hover over the channel text could contain more relevant information.

If you hold your cursor over the channel name a description does come up. Although some of the descriptions are too vague. We just need to improve those pop-up descriptions.
Yes like I said "Alternately the information you get when you hover over the channel text could contain more relevant information"
But this would be something the channel moderator would have to do. Making links to the channels also lets you see their description and other videos in that category.
I deliberately made my description of Talks as concise and precise as possible. Many channels just have the same description as channel name, which doesn't help users much. We've almost all put something wrong in Bravo before it got updated, for instance.
Maybe we should give the orphaned channels a makeover and get the community to make descriptions for them - hell, even the channels with owners could get some, but then it would be at the discretion of the owners whether to use the new descriptions or not.

That's a very good idea, we've filed it for "potential 4.0 enhancements".
