• Youtube being bitchy as of late?
    4 replies, posted
SO yesterday, Youtube changed its interface for me. Nobody else has noticed the change, it seems, and when asked they also seem not to know what I'm talking about. A lot of the frill is gone, and now on the side of a video the boxes for related video and description are gone, replaced by a long list of related videos to the bottom of the page. The description and author are now under the video. Also, when I click my account name in the top right-hand corner, instead of a drop-down menu in one row it has a box of options for my account, with 6 options in 2 rows of 3 or so. Along with this, sometimes I go to a video and it tells me my flash player is outdated and I need to go upgrade. It's even stranger because I can watch 90% of the videos on the damn site and then tells me my player is outdated on only a few. Also, if I go to the Adobe site they have some weirdass plugin for Firefox now and not just a fucking direct download to update Flash, so I don't seem to be able to even try that if that actually [I]is[/I] the root of my issues. So yeah, any of this happening to anyone else? Any ideas on how to fix it? This happened like midday yesterday, which was strange as I had been on Youtube earlier with the older skin. Also, as I've got a feeling it has something to do with it, I'm working behind both Adblock Plus and NoScript.
You could try the HTML5 demo, but I don't believe that works for Firefox due to some video codec shit.
Try getting the plugin for firefox and upgrading your flash

[QUOTE=Shugo589;20673754]Try getting the plugin for firefox and upgrading your flash[/QUOTE] That's the thing, I download the plugin and.... That's it. It doesn't do a goddamn thing, and I get no prompy on how to fix anything. I'll go get it again and see if I can figure it out this time, but I doubt it. [editline]07:43PM[/editline] Yeah, now it won't even try and download the fucking addon after I uninstalled it like a dumbass the first time. Great. [editline]08:15PM[/editline] Okay then, now I downloaded the plugin again. Now the fuck what? It's just sitting there. [editline]08:18PM[/editline] Fuck, now looking through their troubleshooting, here's how it goes for the download flash player section: HURR DURR HERE'S SOME STEPS FOR OUR USELESS DOWNLOADER, AND NOW HERE'S THE ACTUAL EXE Installing it now. [editline]08:24PM[/editline] Okay, downloaded, installed, had their retarded fucking plugin thing, I always had this version of Flash, and it's still not working. THANKS YOUTUBE! Now what? [editline]08:29PM[/editline] Alright then, started working after I did Clear Recent History/cleared cache. Box fort time.
