I really really hate the new channel design, it's so fucked up.
It's shit.
You sound like a bunch of old people who don't like changes. It's times like this i hate working as a tech supporter.
Wow that's fucking horrible. [editline]2nd December 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Balphagore;33537275]You sound like a bunch of old people who don't like changes. It's times like this i hate working as a tech supporter.[/QUOTE] As a website designer and developer myself I can appreciate how shitty it is.
:barf:
I HATE not being able to delete videos from the main page so I don't have to see them after I've watched them.
I like what they've done.. just not how it looks
Can you even remove the new subscription videos? In the old design you could but now I don't see a way?
Analytics is pretty cool (new version of Insight) [editline]2nd December 2011[/editline] The site is too grey though
The profile is stupid, although the cosmic panda way of watching videos is lovely.
[QUOTE=Balphagore;33537275]You sound like a bunch of old people who don't like changes. It's times like this i hate working as a tech supporter.[/QUOTE] I like change, when google changed it's homepage I was like "hey this isn't bad" but it seems like the only thing google doesn't get right is YouTube, every change they make cripples their relationship with the community. The homepage is more suited for mobile devices that need the closed in space but as a person having 1920x1080 resolution it's so clusterfucked, it needs to be more expanded. The channels are god awful as well, it seems more like a profile not a channel where you can really showcase your work, they used to say Broadcast Yourself but now it's all "Shut up, here's a profile, make videos, get famous and we'll pay you royalties"... Google's motto is "Don't be evil", I don't quite know how they're following that.

We'll get used to it as always, but the subscription list is terrible.
Looks weird because I'm not used to it. But I'm sure I'll adjust.
YouTube has got to have the worst designers in the world. Ever.
Am I the only one who miss the older design, when it still had star ratings?

[QUOTE=Balphagore;33537275]You sound like a bunch of old people who don't like changes. It's times like this i hate working as a tech supporter.[/QUOTE] God forbid people complain about things they don't like! I for one am not that fond of it. It feels cluttered and it displays less information then the last iteration. I dunno, if just feels off.
I hope when they see the community (hopefully major youtubers) reaction, they'll do what needs to be done to sort it out. My main aggressor is the amount of dark on the page, it seems to spoil the once perfectly-clean and nice white layout, it looks like something from 2001.
i think it looks fine if there are problems with the design you can report them

If anything I hate how there's so much wasted space on the video response page now. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/wasted_space.png[/img]
We're site design Republicans, the idea of change scares the living shit out of us.

How is this news worthy, they change stuff all day erry day
[QUOTE=Balphagore;33537275]You sound like a bunch of old people who don't like changes. It's times like this i hate working as a tech supporter.[/QUOTE] They keep reinventing the wheel, and each time they do it it gets even more square.
[QUOTE=DrogenViech;33537609]How is this news worthy, they change stuff all day erry day[/QUOTE] Not as big as this, maybe small things like how uploading is handled or how streaming a video is handled, they don't do daily overhauls of site design. The reason it's news-worthy is that it's a massive design change, they've gone with the sort of smart-phone app layout and colour scheme sort of thing, bevelled edges everywhere and a simplistic black and white theme.
Funny how when you could enable this as a beta (via a cookie) or when people used Cosmic Panda, everyone was all "all so awesome l33t hacker I'm so cool" and all the comments were overwelmingly positive, and now that it's out people are all "OMFG SUCKS!". :v:
