    Not upload... just loading a video to watch. I have to restore the page several times for it to load significantly. Shouldn't take me 20 minutes to watch 2 minutes of footage.

    Oh sorry. That also happened to me the other day, though. :fishy:

    The gray bar stopped moving like three months ago or so, yet somehow, the video would still load/play... I really don't know what that's all about, but the only problems I have with playing the videos are rather rare occurences, like the other day for example, where for some reason, the video would just stop in the middle of playing, then the entire player would disappear and be replaced with that little white exclamation point inside the gray circle that usually appears whenever you suddenly have to upgrade your Flash player AGAIN (though that actually wasn't the case this time).

    Funny, my videos seem to be loading faster than usual. I wonder how long that will last :p
  5. Sgt Floyd Well-Known Member

    Oh boy...I'm just waiting to hear D'Snowths opinions on youtube today :smirk:
  6. D'Snowth Well-Known Member

    I see nothing different, other than larger video thumbnails on the homepage, which I really don't have any problems with.

    My only minor quibble with YT as of late is how they've redone video statistics to where it seems they're as simplistic and "un-detailed" as possible.
  7. Sgt Floyd Well-Known Member

    But you can't scroll to see older videos you may have missed :/ Unless my cache is acting up
  8. D'Snowth Well-Known Member

    Ah. I didn't notice. I think it has a tendency to disappear occasionally, sometimes when you scroll the very bottom, you randomly get a couple of much older videos as well.

    One thing I DO miss is whenever you would actually watch a new video, that would remove it from the homepage or the old subscription module, that way you didn't have a whole mess of videos and you don't have to recall which ones you've watched and which ones you haven't.
  9. Sgt Floyd Well-Known Member

    I figured out my problem. There's a new setting (or if its not new I never noticed it) where you have to select that you want to see everything, not just "highlights"
  10. D'Snowth Well-Known Member

    Yeah, I could care less about who liked or favorited or commented on what, I just want to see new vids that my subscriptions have uploaded.
  11. D'Snowth Well-Known Member

    I'm so confused... apparently I got yet another copyright strike this morning, this time from FOX for having posted a clip from M*A*S*H, yet my account information says I still only have one strike against me (from Disney for posting Grover's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel)... and I think this now actually makes the fourth or fifth strike I've gotten, so I guess it's a good think YouTube's not doing too good a job with their bookkeeping or whatever, because I'd be banned by now.
  12. D'Snowth Well-Known Member

    YES! YouTube's FINALLY given us something that was MUCH needed for a loooong time! We now have alerts on the homepage for new PMs, like we already did for new comments!

    Is anyone else having a serious (and I mean serious) problem with loading videos over the past few days. First off, it takes forever to get started, and once it does the video space turns like green with some other colors, and you only hear extremely slow audio. Anyone else, or is it just my computer?
  14. Sgt Floyd Well-Known Member

    No, but I've been getting the green checkerboard of doom on a page sometimes...

    I have no idea what it is, and it seems to be happening to chrome users. Come to think of it, chrome has been acting kind of funny ever since their most recent update
  15. D'Snowth Well-Known Member

    I haven't had any major problems with YT as of late... though there is one thing that's really raising questions out of me... why is it, no matter what video it is you're watching, "The Scariest Donald Duck Moment Ever" is ALWAYS in the suggestions? Seriously.
  16. CaseytheMuppet Well-Known Member

    BWA-Ha-ha! That happened to me... except instead of Donald, it was "Hippo with Explosive Diarrhea." :p I never watch that kinda stuff, so what's up?!
  17. Sgt Floyd Well-Known Member

    O_0

    I haven't gotten anything too weird, except I noticed an increase in creepypasta videos being suggested, which is weird since all i watch are Lets Plays
  18. CaseytheMuppet Well-Known Member

    Yeah, I know! I was like, "What the Cabbage?!" (Adventure Time reference)
  19. MrBabySpencer Active Member

    It's Happened To Me ALSO!! Around In June, I Started Getting Powerpuff TEENS: Mall Adventure In The Same Suggestions In EACH VIDEO!!, I Was All Like I DO Watch The Powerpuff Girls, But Found That Dub Stupid!!!
  20. Hubert Well-Known Member

    It's weird, since I posted about the problem, it has suddenly gotten better. It seems to be working much better (still a little slow, and it takes a little bit of time before the picture of the video to come up), but much better than before.
