I noticed that there is a new buttom on the full-screen view of a video. But if you click it, it's a bunch of bubbles that represent a video.and thankss for the picture uploading thing! I finally could upload my logo that I worked so hard on in Photoshop.
If someone inadvertently uses that bubble view in full screen and minimized the window with that video playing in ANOTHER users video window that could get that user flagged/banned unjustly.

Problem: When I was looking over the 'Edit Channel > Edit Personal Info page' where I can change my profile picture, I entered information into the favorite movie box, then scrolled down and hit the update button at the BOTTOM and it just stayed on that page its not functioning, SO I went to the top of the page, and hit the update button there and when it said it successfully submitted all the fields were cleared. Looks like a database glitch with the fields, and the button should be easy to fix. Hope this helps :D
YouTube please remove the "!" next to our Username, IT CONFUSES a lot and really isn't necessary. The commenting section now looks more clean, I love it, but it would be wonderful if you put a thing gray color bars to each side, why? Because sometimes when you are reading many of the comments and kind of fast, you can't see clearly EXACT where the comment begins of a certain user, but if you put a bar to each side, then each comment will literally boxed, that will be great! Also, please increase the commenting limit from 300 to ITS REAL 500 characters. Everybody thinks it's 500 characters and it's not it's 300. 300 is too short, not enough and sometimes we preffer not to comment because we know we won't have enough space to really express what we want to express. Now with the commenting spam control this will be easy to block unwanted "long comments" so now 500 will be great, we no longer have to worry about bad comments because we the users will take care of any long unwanted message, and this have been proven over and over, so 500 now would fantastic. Thank you so much. About the rest of the design, I like it, isn't that perfect but I think you have your reasons to change it. Thank you YouTube. Oooh one more thing, our thumbnail picture in the video page is too small, and the real image is croped, mutilated, mistreated, besides that it shows a blank space next to it. It's tooo small, it doesn't look good, looks terrible, horrible.
well... i have only 2 bad things to say. First, i don't like the shortened version of the account part of the messages, where before you were able to press directly where you want to go (New comments, friend invites, received videos...) and the actual version where all the options are in 1, so you have to enter there, and then go to the section you want (like in my case, new comments), that is kind of annoying. Second, i want to know why if there are people that can upload videos like of 50 minutes (because they got a director account before the changes) why we the "new users" (i have like more than 1 year here) can't do that, if that "more than 10 minutes videos" don't do anything to the server you host our videos, why we can't then upload longer videos. I saw the option of videos larger than 100mb, but you still force as to that 10 minutes rules, i can't undestand that.
And well, i like the new feature for the icon and all that, but i won't let my arms down until i get a logic explanation of that thingy of the 10 minutes XD
I can't search for channels any more. A lot of people are saying that you're trying to keep down the community, and this move definitely makes me wonder...

YOUTUBE DID YOU DELETE IT OR ARE YOU FIXING IT??? I no longer can see in my Account when someone responded (replied) to a comment I left on a video. I was about to ask if you could show us a list of all videos where we had posted comments, BUT now is not even the feature where responses were replied to our comments, please answer

There are a few glitches with the newest update. A bunch of people (me for example) have some of their honors taken away. I don't appear on most discussed lists anymore.
Also it's harder to find the actually community, which has always been found though looking at the most discussed/top rated/etc. Rather than through featured videos.
I miss 'Date Added:' being in the main info window and also in 'related videos' and 'More From:...' . Please bring it back. It makes it much easier to decide which videos to watch without having to click on each one.

Well, I like the new option to upload our own channel icons now... and the music subcategories are nice. Wasn't the option to turn off comment rating from about a month ago, though? I remember passing by that option... LOL at removing subscriptions from suspended and closed accounts... that one will definitely cause some interesting events.
1.- I miss the playlists. What happened to them? Some weeks ago, each time I saw a video, YouTube showed the playlists including that video. That doesn't occur anymore. It's a shame.
2.- Today (December 15), it's not possible to look for playlists including an specific term in the search section of the main page.
*GLITCH* i am having a problem with the new profile picture option...i select a picture to upload but for some odd reason when i click upload and then to save the changes...it shows a picture i uploaded a looooong time ago to youtube to be that little picture on my channel page. and yes, i am sure i am choosing the correct file. its quite agrivating considering how long i spent making my new profile picture after seeing we could now upload our own!
PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR THUMNAILS GRAPHIC. You have to wait 6 to 8 hours and it will appear, for some reason the first you try it it appears almost instantly but the second or third won't load that fast, you have to wait until YouTube updates its site in about 6-8 hours and it will show. Yes I know is shows an old/previous image, just make sure you upload the right one now and then wait.

The new features are OK, but, and there's always a but, when I am on subscription videos, the best way for me to explain, is that they over-write each other. I think there 5 across the top, the one's below them knocks out their star-ratings/view/from. And, once again, I would really like to see more than 5 pages of my subscription videos...
I get the error message below constantly, and I contact web@youtube.com. But, I keep on getting the same error message... internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, web@youtube.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

some peoples channels arnt showing up, its an error. you should put "/user/" back in at the url at the side of videos. for example merman5656 wont work because someone set a url with that who got suspended
for example, there are 2 years, CBCtv and CBC. you go to CBC's channel then go to one of the videos, click on the CBC link and it goes to CBCtv's channel instead of CBC's. please bring back the /user/ part in links to channels, thanks.
yeah, i agree. fix the links please because people cant get to my channel anymore without having to type into the address bar, it says page cannot be found. please fix this, anyway the new design is cool.

the reason why it wont work is because the /user/ part in links is no longer there, some usernames like mine doesnt work after the site name (browser limits etc) and the custom url problem is a problem to so please but it back in, just to let u know.

damn why did u remove the 'oldest' and 'newest' sections of the comments in a video!!! god dammit!!! and i prefer the old youtube than the new 1, but great just the same. i only hate the new 'channels' section. it really sucks.
Nice changes at all. Good job! But there are two things I have to complain of: 1. I can't update my personal info. It just disappears after I clicked on the update button. Plese fix that. 2. Why did you shorten the video titles in the video overview? I have many videos with the same title beginning. Now they look all like the same. That's not quite nice to watch. Thanks.
"PROFILE PICTURE You can choose any image you want to represent your channel, instead of a video still. Just click the "Upload an image" option on your Account page."
In this section "Personal Profile" I upload an image it's all ok... but: First Name, Last Name, Gender, Relationship Status, About Me and Website URL are deleted! and if you re-try to insert the information and click on upload channel, anyway there isn't a change. i try it 10 times.
Is there a limit to profile pic upload sizes? MySpace has theirs at 5mb, but I would think 1mb would be good enough for YouTubers, so we can make personalized gifs to represent our channels ^-^
I am not crazy abou the DROP DOWNS to get to the Most Discussed, Top Rated categories. I am sure I will get used to it but I am not liking it right now. I liked that it was automatically there on the left before. Seemed like more videos would be seen that way. I am less likely to check out the different things now. Also, there is a glich,when you list the top channels of the week- like when it says comedians- on that page it says the TOTAL PROFILE VIEWS EVER and not the hits for the week like it is supposed to. BUCK
This sucks. As a viewer, I just want to quickly get to most viewed last week or last month. These options are gone. The "previously popular" doesn't tell you WHEN they were popular. You have plenty of room on the left, why take away these options?
The perfect TABs presentation should be this: Videos, Categories, Channels, "ANYTHING HERE", please get rid of the Community tab, that page shouldn't be under any tab, asign a link to that place and place it somewhere else. That page is boring, annoying, I even consider it disturbing, why? Because it has nothing really important to offer to the YouTube community! I never click them, I even would love and click often if you put all the partners there, or ads, banners, promotional stuff or anything you want "BECAUSE" once in a while we like to watch that kind of stuff, but the for the last 2 years that Tab/page makes no sense at all, you are making all these changes because you want to gain more space for ads, sacrificing a lot of things that are really important to us and you are leaving this page intact. This page has nothing to offer us, it's a wasting tab/page/space. Sugestion: What about a Tab of The Most Recent Videos? I remember when The Most Recent Videos was the main page, the YouTube home page, I remember coming over and over (almost every minute) to see the newest videos, that's how I felt in love with YouTube because of this page. Make that page a main page again, but please, GET RID OF the Community Tab, OR fill it up with some interesting stuff.
5 SIZES OF THUMBNAILS? ..WHY??? YouTube why not make a standar thumnail for all the pages (Profile, video page, comments leaving in other channels, My Account thumbnail, All my videos page) The thumbnails aren't looking right specially in the video page, it looks so small, low resolution, and it's even croped and mutilated, I preffer to leav it blank instead of an image that it doesn't look good. Make a standar Thumbnail size and please stick with it, I think the Profile/channel size is perfect, is not that big neighter that small, IT'S THE PERFECT SIZE! Or at least fix the Video Page thumbnail, that looks so tinny and small like a dot, it doesn't look like a video or graphic image, you just see a bouch of colors doing something there, please make it a little bigger.

Removing people subscribers if they get suspended is a stupid idea. Youtube suspends people all the time for no reason and bring them back. Phatfffat is suspended. Nobody knows why she was suspended. She was one of the few black artists that had made it to the Top of the Most Subscribed musician list. You just removed all her subscribers if what you are saying is true. The only thing she had on her channel was cover songs. Why was she suspended? You suspended Lisa Lavie and brought her back. You suspended ThatSingerGirl and brought her back. So what the hell are you guys doing.
I guess it's human nature to complain before offering praise. Maybe that's because no one likes change.
For me, yt's latest changes have the effect of forcing me to view thumbs I don't want to see. I hang out on the very random "most recents" pages banging through vids whose thumbs look promising. Now, the top of each page rotates through thumbs of what yt's programmers want me to see. It doesn't help that as the thumbs at the top of the page rotate, everything below bounces up and down.
While I'm at it, could someone at yt please email me why "most recents" are limited to only five pages. I like to get a global zeitgeist and the more pages of "most recents" thumbs I can see the better. There used to be 15 pages. Trust me, the five pages don't refresh fast enough so that I can workaround by starting again at page one after I've finished viewing all the interesting-looking vids on page five.
I'll conclude with a comment about yt's flag system. At 15,000+ vids viewed I've done more than my share of flagging. Unfortunately, your latest refinements make it a chore to flag offensive vids. If a vid has hateful or abusive content I am obliged to scroll through three (!) drop down menus before I can flag it. That is in addition to being exposed to the poster's sickness in the first place. I'm at the point where I no longer flag a vid whose thumbs make it obvious the content is sexually explicit because I have to watch the vid first. It used to be a fair trade to spend some of my time flagging in return for access to posters' vids. That's no longer the case.
Also, the categories under music, if you click on page two of a subcategory it take you to the Entertainment pages instead of the next page of the subcategory.
It is time for a picture section also - pictures are worth 1000 words - would rather stay on youtube than visit another site just for pictures
These are impressive additions
Good idea personalizing it even more by allowing users to upload their own images, and allowing more customization is always welcomed for the more techminded
BTW: Would like your reaction to that very controversial post on TechCrunch about PR firms specializing in YouTube video promotion.
100,000 views guaranteed! Before that interview, there was a gut feeling that some of those popular videos were NOT really able to make it by themselves. They were okay - but certainly not worth millions of views in such a short time.
This may soon get out of hand and damage the credibility of the popular rankings
I would be cool if you gave the option of posting still pics as well as videos on your Channel page. It also would be nice if you had the option to view videos full page and not jus through the small window that exists currently. Thanks.

Another thing Youtube should work on is the Security features now that you have the partner program. Youtube should automatically log you out your account unless you specific not to do it when you leave the site. It should also ask you for your password and do capcha if you want to close your account or remove a video since now these video can be monetized. You don't want to accidentally delete a video that's worth hundreds even thousands of dollars to you.
These comments would be more pleasant to read of you enabled line breaks on them. Anyway. [1] The new video listing navigation is irrelevant to me, but works okay. The spotlight feature is mildly annoying. The listing itself looks crammed, and the abbreviated video names are confusing. Like florian116 above, I would love if you returned the fifteen pages of the Most Recent list. It's the single most interesting feature of this site. [2] The ''Previously Popular'' thing is a grand idea, and may have a beneficial impact on the culture of this site. Thank you for that beautiful feature! [3] The music subcategories are a blessing. Thank you. [4] Uploading a profile icon is something that countless people have asked about for months and months – I don't know if I need it, but I applaud you for implementing it. [5] Does the subscriptions cleanup also extend to subscribers? It would be interesting to see how this would reshuffle the Most Subscribed list. [6] Making the abysmal comment rating feature optional is the best of your recent updates. I hope that many of the countless people who complained when it was introduced will show their appreciation by actually switching it off. [7] Please restore the /user/ part to the links where it is missing. I never understood why you moved away from the original profile?user syntax, but this update actually affects the functionality of the site. [8] I've save the worst annoyance for last: What's the deal with all those hidden login forms? When for the first time my browser requested my password two times on a regular video watch page, I thought it was some kind of phishing attack. If the regular login page doesn't suffice for some reason, can't you please AJAX them into place or something when the user activates the respective function? Having lots of hidden password fields on a page isn't exactly trust-inspiring.
*all my personal info in my profile was deleted,and cant be reentered/saved,*website url wont update,*profile picture wont update,maybe u guys should do some testing before making changes?
closed and suspended accounts still appear as your subscribers (mind you, subscribed to you, not channels you are subscribed to yourself). Deleting these might mean huge changes on the most subscribed lists.
the reason why some channels wont work is because the /user/ part in links is no longer there, some usernames like mine doesnt work after the site name (browser limits etc) and the custom url problem is a problem to so please put "/user/" back in links on videos etc, just to let u know. thanx.

You put too much relevance to the wishes of content providers (which are mainly record companies, who hate you big time anyway). these companies are doing exactly what your visitors do NOT want. Most annoying: they disallow viewing of their videos for viewers in non US-locations. why were you willing to implement this discriminating feature for these companies? Most active in using this feature is Warnermusic. The record companies allow american users to watch their videos but disallow it to the rest of the world. this policy will backlash on them, but also on you. Europeans (and others) are forced to buy the videos and Americans can watch it for free? come on you can't be serious, it's hilarious!
Are we no longer able to see responses to comments we have made? I used to click on "My Account" and then "Comments" but this is no longer available. Is there a way to do it now? There sure should be...
Look at all the confusion you've caused, YouTube! :P Seriously, everyone... just click on the link called, 'Messages, Invites & Responses' in your Account page, all of your comments and replies to comments are still there. It does give us one extra link to click, but it's not gone.

putamares2005 - You have to go to something called "Inbox" to see the option to go to the list of responses to comments. (Not a good change!) I also would like to see a way to go to all of my comments. Right now, you can go to Google Advanced Search, put in www.youtube.com (or youtube.com to get duplicates with all of the foreign domains) and your userid/channel name, and you can see SOME of them. However, videos you've commented on that have more than 10 comments won't always show up because the way Google stores pages doesn't take continuations into account.
I think many of the changes are an insult. I guess we just live to make up your world, youtube. I hate not being able to see most recent posts or not being able to find videos based on more than most watched. Damned foolish changes but as we all know, these comments have no meaning to you anyway. You do what you want unless someone puts up a very popular post about the horrible changes. I have no way to do that or I would.
I have never met such an organization as this in the category of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I am only a viewer, not someone who uploads videos. Some things you've done lately that have degraded the YouTube viewing experience for me: (1) Removed list of Playlists for a video that's playing. (2) Removed the option to search Playlists. (3) Removed the "Oldest" and "Newest" options from a video's comments list. (4) Put the link to "Received Comments" into a subcategory, so I have to get through more steps to get to it. (5) Hidden the search by Date Added option, although now that I've figured out how to get it, this is not as serious. There are also things I'd like to see that you haven't done yet: (1) Advanced search, for exact matches, such as not having to get a video of "Jim and I took Neil skiing on Diamond Mountain" when I put in "Neil Diamond". (2) Automatic removal from Playlists of videos that have been removed or been made private (which is done for my Favorites). (3) A confirmation option when choosing to remove an item from a Playlist or Favorites. (4) A way to see all comments I've ever posted for videos that are still present. (5) A way to preserve "By Date Added" as my preferred search option as soon as I go into Search.
With regard to my last comment, I was a little bit harsh to single out YouTube. Both Netscape and Microsoft have been leaders in the category of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
I think alot of people are disappointed with the removal of the most discussed list etc links that used to be on the left hand side. The pull-over menu is too hard to find, especially for new people. And it makes less viewed videos, that may be rated well- even more difficult to get views.
just a reminder... the reason why it wont work is because the /user/ part in links is no longer there, some usernames like mine doesnt work after the site name (browser limits etc) and the custom url problem is a problem to so please but it back in, just to let u know, its annoying that people cant get on my channel anymore. also the personal profile glitch still needs fixing.
I really would like to say nice things about the new changes, but there are not any. Profile picture thing could be nice IF IT WOULD NOT TAKE 6 HOURS TO UPDATE. Six hours is like an month in the internet.
Now there are some great things about this update that I love. The profile picture thing, that is very nice, and it was funny to see the old picture I uploaded when i first became a director come up while the other new picture was being processed :P. What I really hate, even though it looks nice, is that it is getting harder and harder to get noticed on youtube, the only way i get noticed it on the most discussed(never the most viewed). Unless you know where to look now it is really hard to find the other sections, and casual browsers on youtube will never know where to look! Now I am not just making it about me cause even though I only have 3,000 subscribers I am greatful to them all but if I now have a harder time getting noticed think how hard it will be for newcomers, this site is all about giving a little spotlight to everyone, and now unless you are one of the big boys, it is harder to get noticed, to end on a good note, i really like the RSS feeds news, i have not used them yet but i am sure i will for my ipod touch :P. IMMA CHARGIN' MAH LAZER!
Before the update you could find a complete list of groups and go through it page by page. Now you only get the first 7-8 that fit on the screen. Where have the others gone? How do I see all of the groups in each catagory?

I think the new design has effectively killed Top Rated videos. Ratings, I feel, are very important because people have to physically rate the video. So now I am getting NO views from my high ratings, when I used to get a lot of views. Now it's harder for high rated videos to be seen. When something is a pulldown menu item, people don't find it. When Top Rated was on the side people clicked on it after checking out Most Viewed... now the site is entirely Most Viewed centric.
Let me suggest an enhancement: Nice as those new custom profile pictures are, please resize them before you display them. This site is bloated like anything already, and now I find myself downloading 1200x900 pixel images which appear as tiny profile pictures among bulletins and profile comments. Also, if this were my site, I would prevent people from uploading animated gif's; but of course this isn't my site, perhaps luckily so. :-)
Ok, what's with the ellipsis on video titles now? All it is is a hinderance and it frustrates me that I have to click on the video link to see the full title.
fully agree with "hotforwords". but youtube, WHAT the hell you made today with the video log in our channels??? PLEASE remove this GREY BORDER around the movies there immediately. it sucks and makes my channel looking bad...
The new setup has deleted my "personal profile" information, and will now not allow me to replace the info / input any new details. The new "upload a picture" to be your channel icon is confusing as well. I "upload a picture" and I am still left with the previous icon, and have no idea whether the new icon will appear. Wonder what will come first .... Youtube gets it right, ......... or The Dolphins post a winning record. I bet the Dolphins get there first :-)
The Top 100 Most Subscribed Musicians pages only goto the 5th page now. When you click on page 6 or 7 it takes you to page 2 or 3.
Also, this suspension stuff is getting out of hand. I know that now that the partner program is open. You guys have to really crack down on cheating and on many TOS violations. You guys really need to increase your staff and smooth the process out in this area. You can't expect people to commit to a platform that's subject to be taken away especially with money on the line. Your top contributors will start using Youtube only to drive traffic to their independent websites. Reever is looking better everyday.
You changed the video titles when you click on a channel "See all xx videos". The video titles on those pages are now limited to 27 characters followed by an elipsis... This is very inconvenient, because we often cannot tell what the title is about from this cutoff version. When I find a new channel that I like, I want to browse and view several of the videos I might like, but now I can't figure out which ones to check out, so I just skip out from that channel, and as a result they lose a potential subscriber. These title fields should be at least 50 characters long, as they are everywhere else.
Also.. why do the channels default to most subscribed THIS WEEK? What is the point of this week? If people are looking for channels that are popular, I would think ALL TIME would be the best default as far as subscribers goes. Thanks.
hotforwords, this week/month is for new channels. It's really the only way you can find brand new channels that are pretty good. If you are on the all time list everybody knows about you anyway. Funny how quickly people forget what it's like to be just starting out. I guess money changes everything.
What is this Congress?? Everytime a new bill is passed (new features added) old features are ammended. I wish we could do a line item veto of some things. My biggest problem is the channel honors. Why are we only able to see the top 75 most subscribed and top 75 most viewed. It was the top 100 before. Of course this concerns me because I was 89th most viewed comedian of all time and even though I was slowly heading off the list from 12th to 89th, I feel it was a little abrupt, to wake up one morning and be off the list.
If you are going to have sub-categories for music, you need to have one for "acoustic" and one for "music lessons". Also how do you assign your video to one of these sub-categories?
I uploaded a profile picture. First it was there, then it wasn't. I also lost half of my profile info and when I re-entered it, it still didn't show up. What gives?
You guys really messed stuff up with this update, didn't you? I'm curious, am I ever going to be able to post a comment again? Because right now it's not looking good.
Google was starting to strangle youtube to death just like it goes from bad to worse ? as time goes, all of updated systems make us uncomfortable what we do and we have something to complain of youtube a developer makes a lot of the updated program that are simply unnecessary..
Ok, now I can upload a file and the icon actually changes, but it makes it look like an about 96x96 avatar that I uploaded long ago when they were still used. Will YouTube fix these bugs?
Can some one please explain why the Youtube logo no longer contains the phrase "Broadcast Yourself"? is this significant? As always you did a good job with alot of the updates and the site is humming right along, but i really mss the "Broadcast Yourself" in the logo, it seems eeier not to have it there. can some one Vlog about why it was taken out? thanks keep up the good work@!
Is there a way to make videos added to playlists appear as the first video instead of the last video? Playlists should default to displaying the latest video added first, not last.
I know we can manually change the order, but that process becomes so daunting when you're adding several videos a day to your playlist. Thanks!

Yeah, I just checked and I still can't leave comments either. This is driving me crazy! Is this glitch you created ever going to be fixed? Is anyone even checking the comments here? If so, I'd love to get a response!!!!!!!
Bring LittleKuriboh Back! As a yugioh fan, the show is little more than an expensive card game advertisement. One I find most entertaining. But on topic, as far as I've understood it, I thought that if you made money on something that wasn't your creation, then it was breaking the law. But no one makes any money what-so-ever, so I don't understand how anything can be deleted per those laws.

I have tried 4 times to upload a video (around 1:30 pm EST, USA) and failed everytime.
i have a picture in my documents that i made and wanted to upload it to my profile image.Its a jpeg its size is 43.3kb and i don't know how to upload it. can you help?
I have no clue if this is the place to ask... but.... here goes... message me please.. I used Firefox web browser (i wont change i love it) and i use Youtube but if i refresh, or move away from the page when i go back it has to load again.. before it used to stay in my computer so when i came back it was already loaded.. any help?
Excuse me, but I am currently having problems with YouTube. The video stills I selected for two of my videos have not yet changed, and it's been over 6 hours. Plus, the Sent folder in my inbox has not gotten any of my recently-sent messages saved. Fix these problems, please.

i can't upload my video. after 30 mins of uploading, a page comes up saying 'page cannot be dispalyed'. i don't know if it's my computer or not. if it is, what's wrong with my computer?
Why? Why would you remove the DeepSpace9Eps account? You stupid Copyright Corporate Nazis! That channel had over 600 videos uploaded, and a crapload of channel views. I don't see why it's a crime or violation to put Star Trek on Youtube! We can watch it TV for free, why not Youtube? You guys are so stupid it isn't even funny.
I think Youtube is trying to piss everyone off because they no it's only a matter of time before they're replaced with a better site. They're going to go down with a fight. Bastards.
I'm having problems again. I forgot to add a tag on one of my videos, and after the video was uploaded, I can't put the tag in, because every time I try, it won't let me type anything in, and the bottom-right corner of the page says "Error on page." I think you should fix this problem, too, please.
whenever i upload a GIF file for my channel icon, it turns into a JPEG. help me please anyone.. my channel icon doesnt animate or move even thought i uploaded a animated pic
OMG!!!! i need to change my profile pic it keeps making it the pic on my latest video this is making me angry why did they take away the personal profile???? -_-*

I don't like the comment limit. You can comment anyway by just typing the image that you see. It's more of an annoyance.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that there is a new buttom on the full-screen view of a video. But if you click it, it's a bunch of bubbles that represent a video.and thankss for the picture uploading thing! I finally could upload my logo that I worked so hard on in Photoshop.
ReplyDeleteProblem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf someone inadvertently uses that bubble view in full screen and minimized the window with that video playing in ANOTHER users video window that could get that user flagged/banned unjustly.

Problem:
ReplyDeleteWhen I was looking over the 'Edit Channel > Edit Personal Info page' where I can change my profile picture, I entered information into the favorite movie box, then scrolled down and hit the update button at the BOTTOM and it just stayed on that page its not functioning, SO I went to the top of the page, and hit the update button there and when it said it successfully submitted all the fields were cleared. Looks like a database glitch with the fields, and the button should be easy to fix.
Hope this helps :D
YouTube please remove the "!" next to our Username, IT CONFUSES a lot and really isn't necessary. The commenting section now looks more clean, I love it, but it would be wonderful if you put a thing gray color bars to each side, why? Because sometimes when you are reading many of the comments and kind of fast, you can't see clearly EXACT where the comment begins of a certain user, but if you put a bar to each side, then each comment will literally boxed, that will be great! Also, please increase the commenting limit from 300 to ITS REAL 500 characters. Everybody thinks it's 500 characters and it's not it's 300. 300 is too short, not enough and sometimes we preffer not to comment because we know we won't have enough space to really express what we want to express. Now with the commenting spam control this will be easy to block unwanted "long comments" so now 500 will be great, we no longer have to worry about bad comments because we the users will take care of any long unwanted message, and this have been proven over and over, so 500 now would fantastic. Thank you so much. About the rest of the design, I like it, isn't that perfect but I think you have your reasons to change it. Thank you YouTube. Oooh one more thing, our thumbnail picture in the video page is too small, and the real image is croped, mutilated, mistreated, besides that it shows a blank space next to it. It's tooo small, it doesn't look good, looks terrible, horrible.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
well... i have only 2 bad things to say.
ReplyDeleteFirst, i don't like the shortened version of the account part of the messages, where before you were able to press directly where you want to go (New comments, friend invites, received videos...) and the actual version where all the options are in 1, so you have to enter there, and then go to the section you want (like in my case, new comments), that is kind of annoying.
Second, i want to know why if there are people that can upload videos like of 50 minutes (because they got a director account before the changes) why we the "new users" (i have like more than 1 year here) can't do that, if that "more than 10 minutes videos" don't do anything to the server you host our videos, why we can't then upload longer videos. I saw the option of videos larger than 100mb, but you still force as to that 10 minutes rules, i can't undestand that.
And well, i like the new feature for the icon and all that, but i won't let my arms down until i get a logic explanation of that thingy of the 10 minutes XD
I can't search for channels any more. A lot of people are saying that you're trying to keep down the community, and this move definitely makes me wonder...

ReplyDeleteYOUTUBE DID YOU DELETE IT OR ARE YOU FIXING IT??? I no longer can see in my Account when someone responded (replied) to a comment I left on a video. I was about to ask if you could show us a list of all videos where we had posted comments, BUT now is not even the feature where responses were replied to our comments, please answer

ReplyDeleteThere are a few glitches with the newest update. A bunch of people (me for example) have some of their honors taken away. I don't appear on most discussed lists anymore.
ReplyDeleteAlso it's harder to find the actually community, which has always been found though looking at the most discussed/top rated/etc. Rather than through featured videos.
I miss 'Date Added:' being in the main info window and also in 'related videos' and 'More From:...' . Please bring it back. It makes it much easier to decide which videos to watch without having to click on each one.

Well, I like the new option to upload our own channel icons now... and the music subcategories are nice. Wasn't the option to turn off comment rating from about a month ago, though? I remember passing by that option... LOL at removing subscriptions from suspended and closed accounts... that one will definitely cause some interesting events.
ReplyDelete1.- I miss the playlists. What happened to them? Some weeks ago, each time I saw a video, YouTube showed the playlists including that video. That doesn't occur anymore. It's a shame.
ReplyDelete2.- Today (December 15), it's not possible to look for playlists including an specific term in the search section of the main page.
*GLITCH*
ReplyDeletei am having a problem with the new profile picture option...i select a picture to upload but for some odd reason when i click upload and then to save the changes...it shows a picture i uploaded a looooong time ago to youtube to be that little picture on my channel page. and yes, i am sure i am choosing the correct file. its quite agrivating considering how long i spent making my new profile picture after seeing we could now upload our own!
But what about MIKMA
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with erathora: taking down playlist searching and browsing takes YouTube down several notches in my book.

ReplyDeletePEOPLE ABOUT YOUR THUMNAILS GRAPHIC. You have to wait 6 to 8 hours and it will appear, for some reason the first you try it it appears almost instantly but the second or third won't load that fast, you have to wait until YouTube updates its site in about 6-8 hours and it will show. Yes I know is shows an old/previous image, just make sure you upload the right one now and then wait.

ReplyDeleteThe new features are OK, but, and there's always a but, when I am on subscription videos, the best way for me to explain, is that they over-write each other. I think there 5 across the top, the one's below them knocks out their star-ratings/view/from. And, once again, I would really like to see more than 5 pages of my subscription videos...
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't the YT home page of received videos and friend invites agree with the actual amount of received videos and friend invites???
ReplyDeleteI get the error message below constantly, and I contact web@youtube.com. But, I keep on getting the same error message...

ReplyDeletesome peoples channels arnt showing up, its an error. you should put "/user/" back in at the url at the side of videos. for example merman5656 wont work because someone set a url with that who got suspended
ReplyDeletefor example, there are 2 years, CBCtv and CBC. you go to CBC's channel then go to one of the videos, click on the CBC link and it goes to CBCtv's channel instead of CBC's. please bring back the /user/ part in links to channels, thanks.
yeah, i agree. fix the links please because people cant get to my channel anymore without having to type into the address bar, it says page cannot be found. please fix this, anyway the new design is cool.

ReplyDeletethe reason why it wont work is because the /user/ part in links is no longer there, some usernames like mine doesnt work after the site name (browser limits etc) and the custom url problem is a problem to so please but it back in, just to let u know.

damn why did u remove the 'oldest' and 'newest' sections of the comments in a video!!! god dammit!!! and i prefer the old youtube than the new 1, but great just the same. i only hate the new 'channels' section. it really sucks.
ReplyDeleteNice changes at all. Good job!
ReplyDeleteBut there are two things I have to complain of:
1. I can't update my personal info. It just disappears after I clicked on the update button. Plese fix that.
2. Why did you shorten the video titles in the video overview? I have many videos with the same title beginning. Now they look all like the same. That's not quite nice to watch.
Thanks.
get rid of the home tab and sperate videos and catirogries
ReplyDeleteThere is a bug in:
ReplyDelete"PROFILE PICTURE
You can choose any image you want to represent your channel, instead of a video still. Just click the "Upload an image" option on your Account page."
In this section "Personal Profile"
I upload an image it's all ok... but:
First Name, Last Name, Gender, Relationship Status, About Me and Website URL
are deleted!
and if you re-try to insert the information and click on upload channel, anyway there isn't a change. i try it 10 times.
Pls Fix the bug :P
Is there a limit to profile pic upload sizes? MySpace has theirs at 5mb, but I would think 1mb would be good enough for YouTubers, so we can make personalized gifs to represent our channels ^-^
ReplyDeletewhy cant i update my channel???? my personal profile section is DELETED!!!and i cant update it!!!! please fix the problem!!
ReplyDeleteI am not crazy abou the DROP DOWNS to get to the Most Discussed, Top Rated categories. I am sure I will get used to it but I am not liking it right now. I liked that it was automatically there on the left before. Seemed like more videos would be seen that way. I am less likely to check out the different things now. Also, there is a glich,when you list the top channels of the week- like when it says comedians- on that page it says the TOTAL PROFILE VIEWS EVER and not the hits for the week like it is supposed to. BUCK
ReplyDeleteSelect a country, why not have China's national flag!
ReplyDelete为什么选择国家后，别人的国家边上都有小国旗，而中国没有，变成了一个地球？？
This sucks. As a viewer, I just want to quickly get to most viewed last week or last month. These options are gone. The "previously popular" doesn't tell you WHEN they were popular. You have plenty of room on the left, why take away these options?
ReplyDeleteThe perfect TABs presentation should be this: Videos, Categories, Channels, "ANYTHING HERE", please get rid of the Community tab, that page shouldn't be under any tab, asign a link to that place and place it somewhere else. That page is boring, annoying, I even consider it disturbing, why? Because it has nothing really important to offer to the YouTube community! I never click them, I even would love and click often if you put all the partners there, or ads, banners, promotional stuff or anything you want "BECAUSE" once in a while we like to watch that kind of stuff, but the for the last 2 years that Tab/page makes no sense at all, you are making all these changes because you want to gain more space for ads, sacrificing a lot of things that are really important to us and you are leaving this page intact. This page has nothing to offer us, it's a wasting tab/page/space. Sugestion: What about a Tab of The Most Recent Videos? I remember when The Most Recent Videos was the main page, the YouTube home page, I remember coming over and over (almost every minute) to see the newest videos, that's how I felt in love with YouTube because of this page. Make that page a main page again, but please, GET RID OF the Community Tab, OR fill it up with some interesting stuff.
ReplyDeleteSo, when will the YouTube Turkey launch?
ReplyDeleteI cannot update my channel personal information. I can't put my picture and cant put my information or my website.
ReplyDeleteCould you guys please fix this problem? I would appreciate it so much. Thanks for your time.
comment box should be below the video not below the comments.
ReplyDeletealso our thumbnail picture in the video page is too small please make these changes.
I LOVE ALL THE NEW THINGS U GUYS DID LIKE THE NEW UPLOAD BUTTON!
ooo yea can u make the videos in a bigger quality.
5 SIZES OF THUMBNAILS? ..WHY??? YouTube why not make a standar thumnail for all the pages (Profile, video page, comments leaving in other channels, My Account thumbnail, All my videos page) The thumbnails aren't looking right specially in the video page, it looks so small, low resolution, and it's even croped and mutilated, I preffer to leav it blank instead of an image that it doesn't look good. Make a standar Thumbnail size and please stick with it, I think the Profile/channel size is perfect, is not that big neighter that small, IT'S THE PERFECT SIZE! Or at least fix the Video Page thumbnail, that looks so tinny and small like a dot, it doesn't look like a video or graphic image, you just see a bouch of colors doing something there, please make it a little bigger.

ReplyDeleteRemoving people subscribers if they get suspended is a stupid idea. Youtube suspends people all the time for no reason and bring them back. Phatfffat is suspended. Nobody knows why she was suspended. She was one of the few black artists that had made it to the Top of the Most Subscribed musician list. You just removed all her subscribers if what you are saying is true. The only thing she had on her channel was cover songs. Why was she suspended? You suspended Lisa Lavie and brought her back. You suspended ThatSingerGirl and brought her back. So what the hell are you guys doing.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's human nature to complain before offering praise. Maybe that's because no one likes change.
ReplyDeleteFor me, yt's latest changes have the effect of forcing me to view thumbs I don't want to see. I hang out on the very random "most recents" pages banging through vids whose thumbs look promising. Now, the top of each page rotates through thumbs of what yt's programmers want me to see. It doesn't help that as the thumbs at the top of the page rotate, everything below bounces up and down.
While I'm at it, could someone at yt please email me why "most recents" are limited to only five pages. I like to get a global zeitgeist and the more pages of "most recents" thumbs I can see the better. There used to be 15 pages. Trust me, the five pages don't refresh fast enough so that I can workaround by starting again at page one after I've finished viewing all the interesting-looking vids on page five.
I'll conclude with a comment about yt's flag system. At 15,000+ vids viewed I've done more than my share of flagging. Unfortunately, your latest refinements make it a chore to flag offensive vids. If a vid has hateful or abusive content I am obliged to scroll through three (!) drop down menus before I can flag it. That is in addition to being exposed to the poster's sickness in the first place. I'm at the point where I no longer flag a vid whose thumbs make it obvious the content is sexually explicit because I have to watch the vid first. It used to be a fair trade to spend some of my time flagging in return for access to posters' vids. That's no longer the case.
Also, the categories under music, if you click on page two of a subcategory it take you to the Entertainment pages instead of the next page of the subcategory.
ReplyDeleteIt is time for a picture section also - pictures are worth 1000 words - would rather stay on youtube than visit another site just for pictures
ReplyDeleteThese are impressive additions
Good idea personalizing it even more by allowing users to upload their own images, and allowing more customization is always welcomed for the more techminded
BTW:
Would like your reaction to that very controversial post on TechCrunch about PR firms specializing in YouTube video promotion.
100,000 views guaranteed! Before that interview, there was a gut feeling that some of those popular videos were NOT really able to make it by themselves. They were okay - but certainly not worth millions of views in such a short time.
This may soon get out of hand and damage the credibility of the popular rankings

I would be cool if you gave the option of posting still pics as well as videos on your Channel page. It also would be nice if you had the option to view videos full page and not jus through the small window that exists currently. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteAnother thing Youtube should work on is the Security features now that you have the partner program. Youtube should automatically log you out your account unless you specific not to do it when you leave the site. It should also ask you for your password and do capcha if you want to close your account or remove a video since now these video can be monetized. You don't want to accidentally delete a video that's worth hundreds even thousands of dollars to you.
ReplyDeleteAgreeing with Erathora and Tonydmyers. I really miss the playlists. Please bring them back.

ReplyDeleteThese comments would be more pleasant to read of you enabled line breaks on them. Anyway. [1] The new video listing navigation is irrelevant to me, but works okay. The spotlight feature is mildly annoying. The listing itself looks crammed, and the abbreviated video names are confusing. Like florian116 above, I would love if you returned the fifteen pages of the Most Recent list. It's the single most interesting feature of this site. [2] The ''Previously Popular'' thing is a grand idea, and may have a beneficial impact on the culture of this site. Thank you for that beautiful feature! [3] The music subcategories are a blessing. Thank you. [4] Uploading a profile icon is something that countless people have asked about for months and months – I don't know if I need it, but I applaud you for implementing it. [5] Does the subscriptions cleanup also extend to subscribers? It would be interesting to see how this would reshuffle the Most Subscribed list. [6] Making the abysmal comment rating feature optional is the best of your recent updates. I hope that many of the countless people who complained when it was introduced will show their appreciation by actually switching it off. [7] Please restore the /user/ part to the links where it is missing. I never understood why you moved away from the original profile?user syntax, but this update actually affects the functionality of the site. [8] I've save the worst annoyance for last: What's the deal with all those hidden login forms? When for the first time my browser requested my password two times on a regular video watch page, I thought it was some kind of phishing attack. If the regular login page doesn't suffice for some reason, can't you please AJAX them into place or something when the user activates the respective function? Having lots of hidden password fields on a page isn't exactly trust-inspiring.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else has this problem with the profile picture-thing?
ReplyDeleteWhen i upload an image and press update all my personal infomation is erased!
Anyone know why?
But anyways, Good job!
ReplyDelete*all my personal info in my profile was deleted,and cant be reentered/saved,*website url wont update,*profile picture wont update,maybe u guys should do some testing before making changes?
ReplyDeleteAnyway thanks for emailing me when someone responded to me .Good luck!
ReplyDeleteclosed and suspended accounts still appear as your subscribers (mind you, subscribed to you, not channels you are subscribed to yourself). Deleting these might mean huge changes on the most subscribed lists.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to "Broadcast Yourself" in the logo, YouTube?
ReplyDeletethe reason why some channels wont work is because the /user/ part in links is no longer there, some usernames like mine doesnt work after the site name (browser limits etc) and the custom url problem is a problem to so please put "/user/" back in links on videos etc, just to let u know. thanx.

You put too much relevance to the wishes of content providers (which are mainly record companies, who hate you big time anyway). these companies are doing exactly what your visitors do NOT want.
ReplyDeleteMost annoying: they disallow viewing of their videos for viewers in non US-locations. why were you willing to implement this discriminating feature for these companies? Most active in using this feature is Warnermusic. The record companies allow american users to watch their videos but disallow it to the rest of the world. this policy will backlash on them, but also on you.
Europeans (and others) are forced to buy the videos and Americans can watch it for free? come on you can't be serious, it's hilarious!
Are we no longer able to see responses to comments we have made? I used to click on "My Account" and then "Comments" but this is no longer available. Is there a way to do it now? There sure should be...

ReplyDeleteMy comments are never posted.

Problem: When I was looking over the 'Edit Channel > Edit Personal Info page' where I can change my profile picture, I entered information into the favorite movie box, then scrolled down and hit the update button at the BOTTOM and it just stayed on that page its not functioning, SO I went to the top of the page, and hit the update button there and when it said it successfully submitted all the fields were cleared. Looks like a database glitch with the fields, and the button should be easy to fix. Hope this helps :D
There is a bug in: "PROFILE PICTURE You can choose any image you want to represent your channel, instead of a video still. Just click the "Upload an image" option on your Account page." In this section "Personal Profile" I upload an image it's all ok... but: First Name, Last Name, Gender, Relationship Status, About Me and Website URL are deleted! and if you re-try to insert the information and click on upload channel, anyway there isn't a change. i try it 10 times. Pls Fix the bug
putamares2005 - You have to go to something called "Inbox" to see the option to go to the list of responses to comments. (Not a good change!) I also would like to see a way to go to all of my comments. Right now, you can go to Google Advanced Search, put in www.youtube.com (or youtube.com to get duplicates with all of the foreign domains) and your userid/channel name, and you can see SOME of them. However, videos you've commented on that have more than 10 comments won't always show up because the way Google stores pages doesn't take continuations into account.
ReplyDeleteI think many of the changes are an insult. I guess we just live to make up your world, youtube. I hate not being able to see most recent posts or not being able to find videos based on more than most watched. Damned foolish changes but as we all know, these comments have no meaning to you anyway. You do what you want unless someone puts up a very popular post about the horrible changes. I have no way to do that or I would.
ReplyDeleteI have never met such an organization as this in the category of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I am only a viewer, not someone who uploads videos. Some things you've done lately that have degraded the YouTube viewing experience for me: (1) Removed list of Playlists for a video that's playing. (2) Removed the option to search Playlists. (3) Removed the "Oldest" and "Newest" options from a video's comments list. (4) Put the link to "Received Comments" into a subcategory, so I have to get through more steps to get to it. (5) Hidden the search by Date Added option, although now that I've figured out how to get it, this is not as serious. There are also things I'd like to see that you haven't done yet: (1) Advanced search, for exact matches, such as not having to get a video of "Jim and I took Neil skiing on Diamond Mountain" when I put in "Neil Diamond". (2) Automatic removal from Playlists of videos that have been removed or been made private (which is done for my Favorites). (3) A confirmation option when choosing to remove an item from a Playlist or Favorites. (4) A way to see all comments I've ever posted for videos that are still present. (5) A way to preserve "By Date Added" as my preferred search option as soon as I go into Search.
ReplyDeleteWith regard to my last comment, I was a little bit harsh to single out YouTube. Both Netscape and Microsoft have been leaders in the category of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
ReplyDeleteI think alot of people are disappointed with the removal of the most discussed list etc links that used to be on the left hand side. The pull-over menu is too hard to find, especially for new people. And it makes less viewed videos, that may be rated well- even more difficult to get views.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone explain the weirdo interface that appeared on my computer?

ReplyDeleteNEW DESIGN? PROFILE PAGES IN VIDEO SEARCH? CUSTOM, MOVING ICONS?

ReplyDeleteWhat's about the personal profile bug? When will it be fixed? I need the space for my channel stats.
ReplyDeletewow awesome update
ReplyDeletejust a reminder...
ReplyDeletethe reason why it wont work is because the /user/ part in links is no longer there, some usernames like mine doesnt work after the site name (browser limits etc) and the custom url problem is a problem to so please but it back in, just to let u know, its annoying that people cant get on my channel anymore. also the personal profile glitch still needs fixing.
the profile image upload just come up with this page after uploading: http://lax-v126.lax.youtube.com/my_profile_personal_post
ReplyDeletewhat the hell is going on? also have you fixed the chanel erasing prob yet?
also it said 'invalid image id' or somfing like that
ReplyDeleteRss where?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Adding nails to the old coffin, eh youtube?
ReplyDeleteI really would like to say nice things about the new changes, but there are not any. Profile picture thing could be nice IF IT WOULD NOT TAKE 6 HOURS TO UPDATE. Six hours is like an month in the internet.
Now there are some great things about this update that I love. The profile picture thing, that is very nice, and it was funny to see the old picture I uploaded when i first became a director come up while the other new picture was being processed :P. What I really hate, even though it looks nice, is that it is getting harder and harder to get noticed on youtube, the only way i get noticed it on the most discussed(never the most viewed). Unless you know where to look now it is really hard to find the other sections, and casual browsers on youtube will never know where to look! Now I am not just making it about me cause even though I only have 3,000 subscribers I am greatful to them all but if I now have a harder time getting noticed think how hard it will be for newcomers, this site is all about giving a little spotlight to everyone, and now unless you are one of the big boys, it is harder to get noticed, to end on a good note, i really like the RSS feeds news, i have not used them yet but i am sure i will for my ipod touch :P. IMMA CHARGIN' MAH LAZER!
ReplyDeleteLet's see, some changes good, some bad.
ReplyDeleteVIDEOS TAB - i don't like it. i just don't like it. it's too..i don't even know. i just don't like it.
MOST ACTIVE AND PREVIOUSLY POPULAR - i think it's a good start, but shouldn't you guys be focusing more on how to make new videos more popular?
CHANNEL RESULTS - good.
MUSIC SUBCATEGORIES - we'd be better off with one category, imo. but it's good to have more options.
PRO PICTURE - very good. thank you.
COMMENT VOTING OPTIONAL - always good to have choices. im gonna keep mine on though.
Before the update you could find a complete list of groups and go through it page by page. Now you only get the first 7-8 that fit on the screen. Where have the others gone? How do I see all of the groups in each catagory?

ReplyDeleteIt's been more than 24 hours and my uploaded picture has not appeared...
ReplyDeleteAfter you upload a profile picture all your info on your channel gets erased
ReplyDeletehttp://www.usome.com
I think the new design has effectively killed Top Rated videos. Ratings, I feel, are very important because people have to physically rate the video. So now I am getting NO views from my high ratings, when I used to get a lot of views. Now it's harder for high rated videos to be seen. When something is a pulldown menu item, people don't find it. When Top Rated was on the side people clicked on it after checking out Most Viewed... now the site is entirely Most Viewed centric.
ReplyDeleteLet me suggest an enhancement: Nice as those new custom profile pictures are, please resize them before you display them. This site is bloated like anything already, and now I find myself downloading 1200x900 pixel images which appear as tiny profile pictures among bulletins and profile comments. Also, if this were my site, I would prevent people from uploading animated gif's; but of course this isn't my site, perhaps luckily so. :-)
ReplyDeleteOk, what's with the ellipsis on video titles now? All it is is a hinderance and it frustrates me that I have to click on the video link to see the full title.
ReplyDeletefully agree with "hotforwords". but youtube, WHAT the hell you made today with the video log in our channels??? PLEASE remove this GREY BORDER around the movies there immediately. it sucks and makes my channel looking bad...
ReplyDeleteThe new setup has deleted my "personal profile" information, and will now not allow me to replace the info / input any new details. The new "upload a picture" to be your channel icon is confusing as well. I "upload a picture" and I am still left with the previous icon, and have no idea whether the new icon will appear. Wonder what will come first .... Youtube gets it right, ......... or The Dolphins post a winning record. I bet the Dolphins get there first :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Top 100 Most Subscribed Musicians pages only goto the 5th page now. When you click on page 6 or 7 it takes you to page 2 or 3.
ReplyDeleteAlso, this suspension stuff is getting out of hand. I know that now that the partner program is open. You guys have to really crack down on cheating and on many TOS violations. You guys really need to increase your staff and smooth the process out in this area. You can't expect people to commit to a platform that's subject to be taken away especially with money on the line. Your top contributors will start using Youtube only to drive traffic to their independent websites. Reever is looking better everyday.
You changed the video titles when you click on a channel "See all xx videos". The video titles on those pages are now limited to 27 characters followed by an elipsis... This is very inconvenient, because we often cannot tell what the title is about from this cutoff version. When I find a new channel that I like, I want to browse and view several of the videos I might like, but now I can't figure out which ones to check out, so I just skip out from that channel, and as a result they lose a potential subscriber. These title fields should be at least 50 characters long, as they are everywhere else.
ReplyDeletewhat is wrong with the PERSONAL INFO page, how come it deleted all the information i originally had and then now i want to fix it, it won't allow me?
ReplyDeleteAlso.. why do the channels default to most subscribed THIS WEEK? What is the point of this week? If people are looking for channels that are popular, I would think ALL TIME would be the best default as far as subscribers goes. Thanks.
ReplyDeletei can't udate my channel and my icon and i sometimes can't write comments on other users!!!why?????T_T
ReplyDeletehotforwords, this week/month is for new channels. It's really the only way you can find brand new channels that are pretty good. If you are on the all time list everybody knows about you anyway. Funny how quickly people forget what it's like to be just starting out. I guess money changes everything.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this Congress?? Everytime a new bill is passed (new features added)
ReplyDeleteold features are ammended. I wish we could do a line item veto of some things. My biggest problem is the channel honors. Why are we only able to see the top 75 most subscribed and top 75 most viewed. It was the top 100 before. Of course this concerns me because I was 89th most viewed comedian of all time and even though I was slowly heading off the list from 12th to 89th, I feel it was a little abrupt, to wake up one morning and be off the list.
If you are going to have sub-categories for music, you need to have one for "acoustic" and one for "music lessons". Also how do you assign your video to one of these sub-categories?
ReplyDeleteI uploaded a profile picture. First it was there, then it wasn't. I also lost half of my profile info and when I re-entered it, it still didn't show up. What gives?
ReplyDeleteGoody Goody. After Youtube made these changes, my channel says it is closed.
ReplyDeleteI've written to tech support several times. No help.
WHAT HAPPENDED WITH MY PERSONAL INFOMATION?!
ReplyDeleteYou guys really messed stuff up with this update, didn't you? I'm curious, am I ever going to be able to post a comment again? Because right now it's not looking good.
ReplyDeletewhat da fuck error 500 and uploading slowly ??????????????????????????????????????????
ReplyDeleteIsn't there any elite employeesss ??????? only stupid staffssssssssssssss
Google was starting to strangle youtube to death just like it goes from bad to worse ?
ReplyDeleteas time goes, all of updated systems make us uncomfortable what we do and we have something to complain of youtube a developer makes a lot of the updated program that are simply unnecessary..
youtube reply :
ReplyDelete凸(⌒ε⌒*)凸 everybody shuts up
Ok, now I can upload a file and the icon actually changes, but it makes it look like an about 96x96 avatar that I uploaded long ago when they were still used. Will YouTube fix these bugs?
ReplyDeleteCan some one please explain why the Youtube logo no longer contains the phrase "Broadcast Yourself"? is this significant? As always you did a good job with alot of the updates and the site is humming right along, but i really mss the "Broadcast Yourself" in the logo, it seems eeier not to have it there. can some one Vlog about why it was taken out? thanks keep up the good work@!
ReplyDeleteWait a second...I was able to upload it after all...It worked in the end...Thanks! That's great!
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to make videos added to playlists appear as the first video instead of the last video? Playlists should default to displaying the latest video added first, not last.
ReplyDeleteI know we can manually change the order, but that process becomes so daunting when you're adding several videos a day to your playlist. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteAs a yugioh fan, the show is little more than an expensive card game advertisement. One I find most entertaining. But on topic, as far as I've understood it, I thought that if you made money on something that wasn't your creation, then it was breaking the law. But no one makes any money what-so-ever, so I don't understand how anything can be deleted per those laws.

I don't see why it's a crime or violation to put Star Trek on Youtube! We can watch it TV for free, why not Youtube? You guys are so stupid it isn't even funny.
ReplyDeleteI think Youtube is trying to piss everyone off because they no it's only a matter of time before they're replaced with a better site. They're going to go down with a fight. Bastards.
ReplyDeleteI'm having problems again. I forgot to add a tag on one of my videos, and after the video was uploaded, I can't put the tag in, because every time I try, it won't let me type anything in, and the bottom-right corner of the page says "Error on page." I think you should fix this problem, too, please.
