That's awesome. Did you have to go there to see them? I always wondered about it but I think you have to be a student? I remember seeing some scripts from the Kay lesbian era and the notes as well as the stage directions do add a lot of context. It does read like a short story sometimes.

Thanks! So I had the month correct then. Just wondering, do you ever plan to finish 1985 on the Soaps of Yesterday Blog? I was using your site to figure out the correct dates for the Soap Opera Digest 80s recaps because they add a lot more detail (sometimes practically recounting the dialogue in a scene). I did that for 1975-1984 so far. And of course once I get to 1986 it will be easy cause there are daily recaps. Just need to finish 1985. No rush, since I'm very busy right now and won't even be able to look at it til May or June, but do know that I still check your site for updates all the time, it was an excellent resource! Super excited for this 1982 ep, unbelievable

Wow, someone is going to send Jack a TEXT. I'm shaking. I have never been so on the edge of my seat. Great cliffhanger for March madness.

I keep wondering why we don't see flashes of anger from Ashland. RN is more than capable. I thought he'd react more strongly to Nate. I'm wondering if RN has been given direction not to show his cards, because the writers haven't decided yet if Ashland is really faking or not. The other possibility is he's supposed to be an Ian Ward-style sociopath who believes what he's saying, but the writing isn't that sophisticated (and it was hardly sophisticated then!).

How is Nate Ashland's doctor and didn't know until today he never had chemotherapy? What even is this show.

Thanks!! Sorry for arguing, you're right to want to keep it positive. I actually did save the bigger versions so I can upload those again, I'll leave it up to @ChickenNuggetz92if the videos uploaded should be big or small since it's his vault and he has to make decisions about the space. Personally I liked the bigger ones but still good either way.

Dude. You were the one complaining that the videos were not coming fast enough. You could have waited until @rsclassicfanforever uploaded them in the quality you like. They are very reliable but they are entitled to have things going on in their life. @anon4520graciously uploaded the episodes. Then you complained the file size is too big and it takes too long to convert. Then @anon4520came back and converted them all and reuploaded them in a smaller size. Now you complain that the quality is not good enough! Just stop, please. Just because you write "I am not complaining, but...." doesn't mean you aren't complaining. This is very unfair to the uploaders. People use their own money to buy VPNs, videoland subscriptions and their time to record, encode, and upload videos. I could not blame @anon4520if they never wanted to volunteer again after this. I have always been patient because I know we have such an awesome community here and someone ALWAYS comes through with the episodes, we have not missed one yet. Who cares if we have to wait, they are 30 years old, lol. If you want to get perfect quality videos uploaded quickly then maybe you should consider getting an account and recording your own and uploading them?

I haven't had time to watch but I'm so happy about this! When I saw Nikki in the red dress I got excited thinking maybe it was Nikki and Victor s first scene but then victor was talking about buying the Bayou so that clearly already happened. I hope that the person will start focusing more on those characters and Kay. I guess at the time the Brooks seemed so much more important! Is anyone in touch with the uploader? Someone should invite him here or get his email in case YouTube deletes him.

Check out Yandex Translate. It's a very good site and much better than google translate. You can take screenshots of text and it will translate it for you, no typing https://translate.yandex.com/ocr Here for example, I took a screenshot of an Arabic subtitled Y&R video and it translated the text for me in a second. They also have a text to speech function. https://translate.yandex.com/ For videos in English, choose English for the first language (the second language doesn't matter) and then hit the microphone button in the lower corner and play the clip. It will transcribe it for you.

@janea4oldI know I've really only deleted things in there when there was a space issue and I would usually just delete the bigger file if there were multiples of the same episode. If you do come across videos that have the hard coded captions that you need, you can save them from the vault by hitting the radio button next to the video name and hit download. I always recommend everyone do that anyway if there's something you like, even if it's from YouTube, or whatever. You never know what could be gone tomorrow if copyright becomes an issue. I keep a hard drive with my own local copies of things. The vault has been such a godsend as far as having a place to save things, as YouTube is so unreliable because of copyright. I had never thought about the impact that it would have on a hearing impaired person. YouTube would be a better place for you to watch videos because it can generate automatic captions. The automatic captions are not great, but definitely sounds more convenient than the system you have. Is there a particular era that you're interested in? I used to upload more to YT but recently been doing more on the Vault to avoid double work. @YRfan23has a ton of playlists for the 80s and 90s, and this channel has a lot of 2000s and 2010s https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuJkTOrjRs3ygJNMk1dfm_A If the video on YouTube has no captions or the video isn't on YouTube, then you can just upload the videos for yourself on YouTube and make them private so you can just watch with the automatic captions. I did that with the German episodes so I could at least be able to read the English translation (as bad as it is). They are extremely temperemental and don't always work, so PM me if you have trouble with them, I've figured out some workarounds for when they don't come up automatically.
