I can find my contacts and inbox from here in the blog and the my video is a deadlink. I don't see any other links in my account. I want to opt in because the message management looks a whole lot nicer than what I have right now.
I really like that it's quicker and MUCH easier to use. However, 2 minor annoyances. There is no trash folder. I accidentally deleted a message with no way to get it back. I'm not sure if there was one before. The other thing is that in the old system you were able to see if someone had read the message or not. I find that helpful, but not completely necessary.
A good feature would be a way to sort by who the mail was sent by, date, etc...either that, or allow to create some folders to get stuff out of the inbox...i.e. videos you were sent, etc...
Much More Easy To Use... One Annoyance Though Is That I Have Deleted Two Video Comment Notifications From The Folder Let The Menu Still Shows That I Have Them There.
When you go to the beta my videos and click on one of your videos a window pops up saying Internet Explore can not open this internet site. and it redirects you to a page that says Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
i really like the new design because it is so simple and clear. but nevertheless i have some suggestions: i think the shared videos looked better with the thumbnails and i miss the option to sort your contact list by date. oh and for some reason it says in my comment folder that i got the comments from myself. except for these things i think it's pretty much better than before!
As far as the contact page goes, my god! such an improvement over the old one. I like how the videos are set up, but liked before you could just see a picture with out opening it, but I guess that saves load time though, which in the end is great. As for the inbox, I like it, but wish* there was a way to delete all, and not just 20 at a time, I finish my mails in mass and would love to just get rid of them all in one go once I am finished reading and responding to them :) but* overall nice design and space saving :P I give it 4.5 outta 5 stars, Holems :P -Cody Rapol(sumfight)
Oh man, I am correcting some misspelled words of mine right in your blog :P
Google/Youtube branding will absolutely suffer as a result of not reinstating the XENUTV1 channel.
Remember, Youtube is both a business and a conduit for freedom of expression and if Youtube is not maintained as an outlet for expression that contains critical opinion then duly mark that as the tipping point that will bring stagnation and decline as the brand becomes tarnished in the eyes of the net.
You are really working hard to make all this new features!! Everybody can see it: you are doing a wonderful job! Thanks. (and yes, free speach is important)
So far I really like the new features. I am able to send messages to 25 people at once. What I have come across is that I have a message in pink telling me that the recipient's account is closed but I don't know what recipient it is. I am told which subscriber if they have enabled friend lock so I can remove that person but I don't know which person if the account is closed. How about a feature to automatically purge friends and subscribers who's account are closed.
I can not edit any of my videos in the new beta. (Guess theres a reason its called a beta lol) Oh well I'll stick to the current layout for now... (Im on Vista)
I like the old video sharing page better with the thumbnail of video/description of video. But I'm okay with the new one.
I HATE the new comments page. The old one just took me directly to the new comments posted in a video. This one I have to click on the video and scroll down past (playing) video to view the new comments. Plus, it incorrectly attributes the videos I've commented in as being made by me even though I've made no videos.
I'm still looking at other changes. Will come back and post when I have an opinion on the other new additions.
The inbox is a mess. Shared videos and messages ending up in the same place. I prefer to keep them separate. Also, I liked the old sent option. Sometimes I am not always sure if messages go through or have been read, so that was a great feature. Bring it back! I love, love, love the new contacts layout.
I find it odd that you folks posted a blog update on a Saturday. It appears that Youtube/Google may be attempting to push the other blog entries further down the page.
Why would they do this? The answer is simple: so that people checking this blog are less likely to click on an entry that has dozens of comments critical of the company. Namely, the comments condemning Youtube/Google for their recent censorship of documentary filmmaker Mark Bunker.
Mr. Bunker's account, xenutv1, was recently suspended. The timing of this suspension is very peculiar, as Mr. Bunker was about to break a huge story. Namely, he was about to release an interview he did with actor Jason Beghe, a high-profile defector from the controversial organization called Scientology.
This is VERY peculiar, as the Scientology organization has often used the legal system to harass anyone who criticizes them. It seems likely that this is the reason Mr. Bunker's account was suspended.
I love it all except the description area. It should really be bigger then 3 lines. Perhaps 7 - 10 lines would be better so it is easier to edit and easier to read over as your writing it.
I'm sorry to say, but I really hate the new inbox... (1) There is no preview anymore, something which was very useful when searching for a specific message. (2) Sometimes you send a message, without expecting a reply, but you do like to know if the recipient has read the message, something which isn't possible anymore...

Can you fix the problem that occurs whenever one replies to a message? It only happens for me when I reply directly from the received message, not a new message. It always gives me the 500 error and says that monkeys have been dispatched to fix it....well they never fixed it.
wowwwwwwwww big WOWWWWWW, I love everything!!!!!!! the only thing to be perfect is, better quality video and a classification video for video games. The home page in beta, is an advance but i think is to difficult
It seems the "View All" link disappeared in the MY Recent Comments module. Was this feature causing problems? What benefit could be gained by eliminating this feature?
This is cool and all, but what's the point? Oh wow, shiny AJAX'ed inbox, contacts, and videos spaces. It's really just shinier, not to mention you don't need something like that to be shiny for a Video Sharing website.
More work should be done on video quality, your search function, and making it easier for people to find related videos.
Why not add a Site-wide tagging game ala' Google to improve your tags as well as video relations?
I tried out the new inbox...theres just one thing I don't like about it. In the old/current inbox, you can see the time messages were sent and received, not just the date. Could you please keep that feature?
It looks alright, but it is now really hard to read peoples comments on my video's, or read comments that people have left as a response to mine. There is not a direct link to the comments of the video, just the video it's self. This means alot of extra clicking. =(
The inbox has long needed an overhaul, so way-to-go, YouTube! Shame that its heavy reliance on Ajax means that it only works on browsers that support Javascript - you COULD do this so that it works in all browsers with a page refresh, but its enhanced with Ajax for those who do have Javascript turned on (admittedly most people), rather than reliant on it. It's known as progressive enhancement, and it's not a new concept... http://adactio.com/journal/959
Thanks for all the services.In the video insights we can watch the daily statistics of the video we uploaded. Can you also make possible for youtubers to follow the daily statistics of their channel completely/ Namely,"A channel insight"? Best Regards, İbrahim/Turkey
Changes I would like: Contacts: bring back message read info and perhaps have a hover option that shows profile picture of people when you hover yr mouse over their name. Inbox: get rid of the shared display where u see comments, emails and vids. Very untidy. Bring back preview pane pls My videos: make viewing the comments work as it currently does. Delete time column and put comment counter in a this would be more useful. Under playlist, list the playlists so I can click on specific playlist instead of clicking on playlist then on specific playlist. I love the new look for contacts and my videos in particular.
I like being able to sort my video list by title, date, etc. But clicking the triangle to show a video description doesn't show links as links and line breaks are lost.
The InBox doesn't come up in Safari (v2.0.4). It does come up in FireFox. I wish I could sort messages by From (or To), or by Subject, and not just Date.
The comment subject lines could be a little smarter: a comment I've made on someone else's video shows up as "A comment has been made on your video: [their video name]" It isn't my video, it is theirs! Clarifying this will also allow the user to separate comments they've made from comments they've received, especially if the "Subject" heading is clickable for sorting.
Please bring back the percentage timer on the uploads page, or at least allow an option for it :P For those of us still stuck with a slow connection, the percentage timer was extremely useful at determining how long it should take for a video to upload.

I looked at everything, it looks good but you can hardly call it testing when the only way to get to the new features is through the blog. Too much clicking and waiting to really test anything.
I like the new interface. Just please bring back the percentage timer like the guy below said. It was nice to see how the uploading process was going instead of waiting not knowing when the video would be done uploading.
Just an idea, it's happened to me that I want to put all the videos I have under a certain Favorites list in another one, but some videos end up appearing twice in the list. it would be nice that you could change this so that if you add a video to a playlist that already has the video, it won't appear twice. I didn't know where to suggest this, so that's why I'm writing here.
PLEASE, YouTube people, the 'View All' in My Recent Comments was a blessing. Especially with the quick display of the pluses/minuses. Yeah, that is basically my livelihood, being a recycled humanist and all that. And is it better if you reorganize comments in 'nested' form, so replies to comments wouldn't look like sudden retorts? Thanks!
I like the new designed but I would also like to see the following.
1. A Mark As Read button. So, I can select a bunch of message at once and mark them as read.
2. You need to make sure you ask people are they sure they want to delete a video. I think for partners they should be force to do a Capcha especially if you allow us to do it in batches now.
3. I would like to see how many times a video has been favorite under My Videos along with the number of views and comments and rating.
4. You should be able to sort your contacts by approved and pending. It would be cool to see all the pending contacts you have at one time. So you can remove them at one time if you want too.
5. Also, you should have the option to set as video for 18 years old or older. Sometimes, you want too make a video for adults only. This should be treated separately from a video being flagged.
6. I would also like to see an option to say I don't want to recieve videos from this person but I still want to be their friend. I might want that person to be able to comment on my videos and my channel and send me message if I use friend lock but I don't want to recieve videos from them.
7 You need to change the video watch screen share tab to bring up the standard share on Youtube first and then Myspace and Facebook.
8. This doesn't have anything to do with features but Youtube should a create a Most Subscribed Unsigned Musician list because so many major musicians are coming on to Youtube. It just a matter of time before only a very small number of Unsigned youtube musicians will be on the All Time Most Subcribed musician list. It has drop from 60 to 39 in the just the last couple of months.
Great new features, thanks! For those of you trying to get famous on YouTube and promote your channels, there is software build to do just that. Free download at TubeToolbox . com :)
this is horrible what you have done to my inbox, now it is much more difficult to get to the "view all comments" page for videos, please correct this so that i can go directly to the view all comments page
Pls give us the option 2 watch vids in "hi quality" or the old way.
Pls put back the "HISTORY" link on the upper right of the main page instead on "QUICKLIST".
Pls add "post a comment" & "view all comments" 2 top not just bottom b 1 has 2 scroll down 2 read all comments; whereas having the command atop would be easier.
Pls give us the option 2 watch vids in 'hi quality' or the old way. -I like the old way bc on the lower left was the 2 buttons to pause and restart vs now where the restart vid is gone. -I like the old way bc on the lower right was 2 buttons 2 choose viewing size small or full screen vs now the only choice is full screen.
Pls put back the 'HISTORY' link on the upper right of the main page instead on 'QUICKLIST'.

Why i can see anymore mär heaven anime, there only come this blaa blaa"This video has been removed due to terms of use violation." What violation, it is a cartoon/anime for children?! Youtube can find much "violation" video than this, or you dont like/understand anime at all.
I checked your new beta pages and honestly I wasn't all that impressed. The 'video beta page' is decent.
If that is the new look you're going for, then at least make sure you still provide a comments link. I noticed there's no html link for the comments. That way people will still be able to directly access the main comment page w/o having to click on the video itself and THEN click on the comments link. It's saves an extra step and makes things go a bit quicker.
I think I like where the new design is going. However, there were some key features that seem to be missing from this new system: 1)There are no links to a comment page anywhere that I can find. I like being able to go to "My Videos" and got to an individual video and click to see all of it's comments and nothing else. I'm set up as a broadcaster and it's important to me to keep the view count as accurate as I can, so I like not having to go to my video to see the comments.
2) Just like the comments link, the video response link also appears to be missing. Another thing I think is necessary.
3) I looked all over the place and I can't find the embed code anywhere. I do a lot of outside embedding and I absolutely need that code.
4) I think the inbox needs a mark-as-read button.
5) I'd love to be able to re-order my subscribers and my subscriptions. And I don't just mean giving them labels. I'd like to be able to order my subscribers for public view in an order different than the order they subscribed. Same with my subscriptions.
Well, those are my thoughts. Keep up the good work!
Hi, I'm a new user of youtube and really enjoy it. One quirk I found (and I don't see any plans of this being fixed here) is that the thumbnails or video stills that are picked for you are rather random. I uploaded a video of me showing a house to a buyer (I'm a realtor), and the three choices of video stills to represent my video were mostly ceiling shots! I'm not going to make this video public anyway because it's only for my clients, but still, I'm curious how are these stills chosen and I'd love to know if in the future there might be a way to generate/choose your own still or at least have a button that would generate three new stills to choose from. Thanks!

There's a problem posting comments. I type a message, click to post and get 'comment posted' but when I return later it's not there. Now I enter, then copy my message, and refresh to be sure it's posted. Last night I did this 5 times and my message never did post! Please Fix This Problem!
Also, whenever I get a friend message to watch a new video it comes 3 times to my email inbox! What's up with all that?

Okay and now this message posted twice without me doing the copy, reenter thing because the message wasn't available for me to copy . . . AND I notice other messages are duplicated here too . . . These little things are a big pain in the *ss!

One more thing, because I don't know where else to put it. BRING BACK MOVING ICONS! These type of icons are unique, very creative and some of them, like member RichardNorton and his deceased Goldie, they are heartwarming. His icon is a tribute to his first Bengal cat. Goldie was loved by all of her fans here at YouTube, most of whom never met her personally, but who miss seeing her strut in that little icon box! Bring Goldie BACK! Please?
Frankly, I don't care about any so-called new features until the stuff that's been broken for way too long is fixed. Meanwhile, QUIT CHANGING THE RULES. What's going on with the Profile Picture (aka avatar) functionality? Who decided that profile pictures must now conform to a 96 x 96 pixel square format? And why aren't the instructions for uploading a new profile picture consistent and clear?
What do you want? What are the exact, foolproof specs? I uploaded a new 96 x 96 avatar. YouTube cropped it. This is bullsh*t. Just tell us how to upload an avatar that YouTube won't mess with.
I can't even begin to detail how pissed off I am with YouTube at the moment. Hours of my life are lost forever, as I try to 'update' avatars for dozens of clients and friends... all because some jerk at YouTube decided to change the rules in an arbitrary and cavalier manner. YouTube is teaching me to hate the net... and corporations like Google who own it.
Don't mess with your user's branding specs without asking first. Don't add new features until you've fixed the broken stuff. Fix the stuff that never worked in the first place. QUIT CHANGING THE RULES until you have a clear understanding of the consequences.
I like the new changes. So far I haven't run across anything that I don't like, so great job. One thing I would like to see is a way for users to interact with the YT staff easier. Maybe like a community liason/public relations group/channel that people can contact. Sending emails rarely gets anywhere. Thanks

I love the new changes to the inbox and friends section. Awesome great job. I have yet to check out the new "My videos" update but I bet it will be good.
Disculpen, Espero que sepan traducir el español, sus aportes son buenos...
... hmmm... si hubiese algo que esperaria, es como la facilidad de subir videos, en cuanto a velocidad, y el tiempo limite, no se a cuanto lo podian prolongar, pero eso seria bueno...
... Tambien seria importante que ustedes nos informen sobre los eventos youtbe, como concursos o algo asi, y que galardonaran más categorias, bueno, mi intención no era ofenderlos, o hacerlos sentir mal, sino aportar en algo, asi sea algo minimo...
... un cordial saludo, y gracias, por todo, directores de youtube
The 'view comments' fuction really needs to be brought back in the video comments section. The rest of the changes I can live with, but the comments section is just annoying. The old video comments section was vastly better, not to mention actually accurate about how made the video.
If you create a folder in your favorites, and try to save each page into it you get the already been created msg. Internet Employer doesn’t recognize your new pages as unique.
i hate how u guys keep changing the look of everything on youtube! its so much harder for me to view my video comments now because of ur new feature! just please stick with something! :(
What about "My comments". Sometimes I wanna keep count of all my past comments like how you do in some forums. I'd like to see all my previous comments that I posted in one big list, so i can see if anybody responded or not, you dig???
i already know that you can see who responded to your comment with the automatic email youtube sends when there is a response but that isn't enough.
A redundant complaint. I hate the new comments section. It is saying two videos have been commented on in my comments section. However, due to this new layout, I can't make heads or tails which two videos have been commented on. I am not going to open every video just to view the new comments.
I like/have adjusted to everything but the stupid comment section. Can't I selectively beta what I do and don't like so I can have a mix of the old and new features on my channel. The comments section drives me nuts. I can forgive it for existing only because I love the Contacts listing and setup. That is awesome. It almost makes up for the terrible layout of the comments section.
hello, where can i get dvds of the actor/comediam musa Hijazein? anyone know of any vendors that i can order from. i saw driving in jordan and loved it. thanks you sam
This isn't a complaint regarding the new features but a bug that's been around for some time and still hasn't been fixed yet: I have a pretty fast internet connection (16.000 kBit/s DSL) which works perfectly fine otherwise, and yet on your site videos take forever (!) to load. I mean: 12 minutes loading time for a 5:00 video (while nothing else is running / downloading)?! You've *got* to be kidding me! And it's been like that ever since your last update on April 11. Me and a lot of other people I know are already using other video sites instead of YouTube, as the service you're currently providing is totally unusuable to us. Please fix that, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance...
Terrible youtube before it was much better, now i cant see if someone has read a message i sent them. Also it says i have 6 'comments' i guess that's replys to my comments and i click on it and says 'There are no messages in this folder.'....

DAMN!! I was glad when Youtube restored the old inbox system, and just now it changed back to the new version, which I really HATE! I can't see anymore if someone has read a message and I can't see previews of the messages. PLEASE bring back the old inbox! Or at least give us the CHOICE!

Support widescreen. Simple as that. If I upload a video in 16:9 format, it should broadcast (including in high definition) in 16:9. I shouldn't have to add letterboxing or change my video to 4:3 before upload. Let's get with the times, YouTube.

Put a proper timed progress bar for uploading video. Recently when I've been trying to upload video the Uploading... star has been turning for hours on end & I've given up on the upload but I don't know if it's 20 seconds from completion or 20 hours or just not working, a bit more information would be a great help, thankyou.
let me put this simply. the new inbox sucks. I was so happy when it returned back to the old one, but then it switched back to the new one! :( I can't even see the whole message when I'm replying back to someone because its cut off, and viewing comments on my videos take more clicks than they should be and used to be, which is very inefficient. I just can't get used to it! :( CHANGE IT BACK!!!!

please DON'T launch the full release, it would be a very bad idea. the only extremely inconvenient part of it for me, though, is the inbox. i don't get why u guys think the new inbox is so much "easier" to manage. well, its not. DON'T go through with it!

THANK god i found this!! I really dislike the new inbox thing. You have totally taken away the uniqueness. I also find it boring, colorless and harder to read.
I like being able to see users profile pictures beside their name.
I also find it hard to get done what I'm wanting to. It is definitely a little more time consuming now.
PLEASE put it back to how it was.
Why change things that don't NEED to be changed??
I know you can come up with better things than that.
I am very disappointed that youtubers don't even get a chance to know what is going on before it even happens, unless they happen to find THIS blog or were unlucky to experience the beta version...
There's a MAJOR FLAW with the new Inbox/PersonalMessages/Sent: All words in "quotation marks" are practically illegible, including those in old messages that were sent/received months ago. "Video titles", "quotes", "user names", "headings", "references", "pseudo-words", anything "emphasized" -- everything that had or has "quotation marks" is now swamped with ugly """s everywhere. Please fix this flaw that renders many messages almost unintelligible, and we'll forgive the loss of our thumbnails and semi-preview panes.
There are several comical flaws with the "Comments" section of the new "Inbox": .....1) Every single "Comment" or "Reply" I have received is falsely attributed to me, as though I stupidly comment or reply to myself all the time. .....2) Every single "Subject" heading begins with "A comment has been made on your video" even though I've never posted a video in my life. .....3) Every single one of those very same "Subject" headings is also all filled with the same needless and repetitive words, leaving precious little space for the actual video title. As such, we're probably better off with our MS Outlook, because not only does it give us the full title of the video, it also tells us WHO commented or replied. .....4) If you really want to help us YouTubers with our comments, how about fixing the old and continuing bugs such as .....A) Why do many of our comments often appear double, or even triple? .....B) Why do many of our comments not appear at all on the comments pages, but magically appear when we click on "View all comments"? .....C) Why do many of our "REPLIES" to comments end up at the top of "most recent comments" rather than below the comment we're actually "REPLYING" to? Everything looks disjointed, and we all look like idiots. .....D) Why do many of our comments totally disappear in the giant time vacuum between the first 2 pages of comments? .....E) Why did you eliminate from our profile/channel pages the "View All" link to our "Recent Comments"? Are we not allowed to see our own comments anymore? .....F) These blog comments are full of spam and rants. Where are the 5 icons ("reply", "spam", "plus/minus score", "thumbs down", "thumbs up") that always used to appear alongside our blog comments? .....Thanx for giving us the opportunity to express ourselves.
Speaking of comments: Why is it that I never ever receive an email notification if someone comments on my profile? 40 channel comments, and I haven't been notified even once... It's frustrating to accidentally stumble over comments days or weeks after they've been made even though the notification option is checked (My Account - Email Options - My profile receives a new bulletin or comment). It would be great if you could have a look at that. Thanks a lot in advance! :o)
Oh, and how about allowing line breaks in the comments on this blog? It's working on the comments left on YT videos (which are usually a lot shorter than the ones posted here), so I know for a fact that you can do this. :-D It would greatly enhance the reading experience on this blog... :o))
My Recent Comments: Everybody on here seems to complain about the "My Recent Comments" section on the channel only showing the last five comments - and I agree about getting the "View all" feature back. Moverover, though, I would love to see a site that lists all the comments that I ever made but is only accessible to myself. Much like the favorites which you can opt to *not* show up on your channel page, and yet they're still viewable for yourself - just not for the whole world to see. A feature like that would be great! :o)
Comments sorted by users: Now you got me pondering over things that don't work well or aren't featured yet... :o)) I've always thought it would be nice to have a section that gives me an overview of who commented on my videos (taking into account all of the videos I ever posted). A site that shows the comments, and automatically sorts them by the users that made them. Even if it only listed the comments left by subscribers, it would be very helpful in order to keep track of who likes what, etc...
FAVORITED BY: And one more (sorry to bother :o)): It would be great if we could see who favorited our videos. Not as a feature visible to all users, but to the person who posted a video. :o)
INBOX: Being able to create folders in order to move and therefore sort the messages we get would be very helpful.
The way the inbox is set up right now, it's almost impossible to keep track of who contacted you. Also, it's a real hassle to figure out which messages you've replied to already (having to switch back and forth between the "General Messages" and the "Sent" folder *and* browse through the messages to find what you're looking for).
When I am logged in I no longer can see the "videos being viewed now" (or whatever it's called) on the main page. That feature is now only available when I am NOT logged in. Please put this feature back so I can see it when logged in. I have found many interesting videos this way.
how do i opt into the beta homepage featuring "latest from my subscriptions" "videos recomended for me" "freind activity" ect ect... i cant find out how

My life is youtube, HEHE, I love you, the only thing I beg you Pls give us the option 2 watch vids in 'high quality' all the time, and very nice improvements, A 'LITTLE HELP FOR US' please and I like all of them, THANKS FOR THIS TOO!!!
To the youtube beta team here are my comments: - The beta inbox is cleaner and easier to read, however it lacks the 1 click functionality of the current inbox (I can delete,block etc a users message with 1 click). - The beta my videos is much easier to get a quick list of info on the video such as ratings and views, however while editing the video settings their should be a "Save" button at the bottom, so we dont have to scroll up. Also I do not see the "Insight" stats info which should be their as this is a one stop page for all the "Info" about the video.
Please, either give us an option of getting out of beta inbox or get rid of it completly. Most people dislike it. I am one of those people. I want out of beta inbox.
I don't think YouTube should be working on BETA upgrades until my screen san stop telling me I don't have the latest FLASH Player. I HAVE THE LATEST FLASH PLAYER. I have reinstalled it two or three times. I have Enabled all of the Java and Flash things that the HELP files say to Enable. And now I'm out of options. There's no one to call. Good Luck to me, eh? But, hey, definitely enjoy the new cleaner screen on your Inbox.
Pls allow us the CHOICE of -watching the new hi quality or standard /old version -the new inbox or the old inbox.
Also, y r u getting rid of the "message read" feature? It is a good way of knowing whether or not your message was read so u dont send it again & again.

The Function And Aesthetics Of This Is Equal To That Of Shit. Now When All Of Our Opinions Are Spoken And Lightly Skimmed Over...Go Ahead And Release It. Because That's How It's Gonna Go Down Either Way. Oh Well.

I can find my contacts and inbox from here in the blog and the my video is a deadlink. I don't see any other links in my account. I want to opt in because the message management looks a whole lot nicer than what I have right now.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much easier to use, so I'm in.
ReplyDeleteCouple of comments about the mail system:
ReplyDeleteI really like that it's quicker and MUCH easier to use. However, 2 minor annoyances. There is no trash folder. I accidentally deleted a message with no way to get it back. I'm not sure if there was one before. The other thing is that in the old system you were able to see if someone had read the message or not. I find that helpful, but not completely necessary.
A good feature would be a way to sort by who the mail was sent by, date, etc...either that, or allow to create some folders to get stuff out of the inbox...i.e. videos you were sent, etc...
WHY IN GODS name do you guys keep SHRINKING or REMOVING visual aids like thumbnails and pictures..when is that ever good?
ReplyDeleteMuch More Easy To Use... One Annoyance Though Is That I Have Deleted Two Video Comment Notifications From The Folder Let The Menu Still Shows That I Have Them There.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting beta.
ReplyDeleteIt's more appealing to the eye, for sure.
I wonder when this (or something like it) will come into effect.
If you decide to keep the video thumbnails, it's fine. Otherwise, it's too hard to tell what's what. Maybe an option to turn the thumbnails on or off?
ReplyDeleteIt's so much easier! It shows more specific and advanced pages.
ReplyDeleteLooks Great!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! but you should keep the thumnails for the videos people send you.
Love it! hehe :P
When you go to the beta my videos and click on one of your videos a window pops up saying Internet Explore can not open this internet site. and it redirects you to a page that says
ReplyDeleteInternet Explorer cannot display the webpage
I like it except I think for delete this video, it should have a confirm box appear so you don't go deleting a video by mistake.
ReplyDeletei really like the new design because it is so simple and clear. but nevertheless i have some suggestions: i think the shared videos looked better with the thumbnails and i miss the option to sort your contact list by date. oh and for some reason it says in my comment folder that i got the comments from myself.
ReplyDeleteexcept for these things i think it's pretty much better than before!
As far as the contact page goes, my god! such an improvement over the old one. I like how the videos are set up, but liked before you could just see a picture with out opening it, but I guess that saves load time though, which in the end is great. As for the inbox, I like it, but wish* there was a way to delete all, and not just 20 at a time, I finish my mails in mass and would love to just get rid of them all in one go once I am finished reading and responding to them :) but* overall nice design and space saving :P I give it 4.5 outta 5 stars, Holems :P -Cody Rapol(sumfight)
ReplyDeleteOh man, I am correcting some misspelled words of mine right in your blog :P
why is there a POP. in front of YOUTUBE.com adress ?
ReplyDeletebetter than the old ones.
ReplyDeleteGoogle/Youtube branding will absolutely suffer as a result of not reinstating the XENUTV1 channel.
ReplyDeleteRemember, Youtube is both a business and a conduit for freedom of expression and if Youtube is not maintained as an outlet for expression that contains critical opinion then duly mark that as the tipping point that will bring stagnation and decline as the brand becomes tarnished in the eyes of the net.
You are really working hard to make all this new features!! Everybody can see it: you are doing a wonderful job! Thanks. (and yes, free speach is important)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, let me testi this new features for a pair of days and i will give you a feedback
ReplyDeleteSo far I really like the new features. I am able to send messages to 25 people at once. What I have come across is that I have a message in pink telling me that the recipient's account is closed but I don't know what recipient it is. I am told which subscriber if they have enabled friend lock so I can remove that person but I don't know which person if the account is closed. How about a feature to automatically purge friends and subscribers who's account are closed.
ReplyDeleteWhy not add how many times a video is favorited in the drop down box for each video under my videos?

ReplyDeleteGreat job :)
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the the new file management in my video's. It is fantastic!!!!!! I would like to opt in for the beta testing.
ReplyDeletelooks a lot neater! Wouldn't mind being able to use it without having to come to this page every time though. As I wasn't one of the ones chosen.
ReplyDeleteGreat job by your team.
ReplyDeleteI can not edit any of my videos in the new beta. (Guess theres a reason its called a beta lol) Oh well I'll stick to the current layout for now...
ReplyDelete(Im on Vista)
LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI like the old video sharing page better with the thumbnail of video/description of video. But I'm okay with the new one.
ReplyDeleteI HATE the new comments page. The old one just took me directly to the new comments posted in a video. This one I have to click on the video and scroll down past (playing) video to view the new comments. Plus, it incorrectly attributes the videos I've commented in as being made by me even though I've made no videos.
I'm still looking at other changes. Will come back and post when I have an opinion on the other new additions.
The inbox is a mess. Shared videos and messages ending up in the same place. I prefer to keep them separate. Also, I liked the old sent option. Sometimes I am not always sure if messages go through or have been read, so that was a great feature. Bring it back! I love, love, love the new contacts layout.
ReplyDeleteIn short contacts layout and my inbox: 5 stars.
videosharing box: 2 1/2 stars
message inbox: 2 stars
comments page: 1 star.
">test
ReplyDeleteLooks really great. Nice and easy change over interface really. Thanks guys!
ReplyDeleteI find it odd that you folks posted a blog update on a Saturday. It appears that Youtube/Google may be attempting to push the other blog entries further down the page.
ReplyDeleteWhy would they do this? The answer is simple: so that people checking this blog are less likely to click on an entry that has dozens of comments critical of the company. Namely, the comments condemning Youtube/Google for their recent censorship of documentary filmmaker Mark Bunker.
Mr. Bunker's account, xenutv1, was recently suspended. The timing of this suspension is very peculiar, as Mr. Bunker was about to break a huge story. Namely, he was about to release an interview he did with actor Jason Beghe, a high-profile defector from the controversial organization called Scientology.
This is VERY peculiar, as the Scientology organization has often used the legal system to harass anyone who criticizes them. It seems likely that this is the reason Mr. Bunker's account was suspended.
Great job on improving the site everyday. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteget rid of the 500 character limit on comments ><
ReplyDeletewats goin on in here?
ReplyDeletei dont get it
ReplyDeleteLooks very sleek and much more accessible now! Thanks Youtube team =)
ReplyDeleteI love it all except the description area. It should really be bigger then 3 lines. Perhaps 7 - 10 lines would be better so it is easier to edit and easier to read over as your writing it.
ReplyDeleteThat one annoyance aside it looks great.
I'm sorry to say, but I really hate the new inbox... (1) There is no preview anymore, something which was very useful when searching for a specific message. (2) Sometimes you send a message, without expecting a reply, but you do like to know if the recipient has read the message, something which isn't possible anymore...

ReplyDeleteCan you fix the problem that occurs whenever one replies to a message? It only happens for me when I reply directly from the received message, not a new message. It always gives me the 500 error and says that monkeys have been dispatched to fix it....well they never fixed it.
ReplyDeletewhen are you fixing the "500 internal sever error..." that i get every time i send a message?
ReplyDeleteI like it so far. Just takes some getting used to.
ReplyDeleteThe comment section is still not fixed.
ReplyDeleteNice job!
ReplyDeleteWhy not focus on making the video quality better?
ReplyDeleteI love YouTube but Putfile gives me unlimited time
ReplyDeletewowwwwwwwww big WOWWWWWW, I love everything!!!!!!! the only thing to be perfect is, better quality video and a classification video for video games. The home page in beta, is an advance but i think is to difficult
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose any one on the youtube team could explain to me why the church of Scientology has add space?
ReplyDeleteniceeee
ReplyDeleteIt seems the "View All" link disappeared in the MY Recent Comments module. Was this feature causing problems? What benefit could be gained by eliminating this feature?
ReplyDeleteWhen editing a video's details it would be really nice if the description box was BIGGER (or had an adjustable size control)
ReplyDeleteThis is cool and all, but what's the point? Oh wow, shiny AJAX'ed inbox, contacts, and videos spaces. It's really just shinier, not to mention you don't need something like that to be shiny for a Video Sharing website.
ReplyDeleteMore work should be done on video quality, your search function, and making it easier for people to find related videos.
Why not add a Site-wide tagging game ala' Google to improve your tags as well as video relations?
Youtube app for the Nokia N95 is broken.
ReplyDeleteIt would really be helpful to get more detailed video traffic stats...........
ReplyDeleteAlso, the option to make them public and share them
I allways hate new redesigns!!! Please stop doing it! Bring back the old YouTube!
ReplyDeleteI tried out the new inbox...theres just one thing I don't like about it. In the old/current inbox, you can see the time messages were sent and received, not just the date. Could you please keep that feature?
ReplyDeleteI don't need these new features
ReplyDeleteThe video privacy features seem to have a little broken. In the beta version it is not clear that a video has restricted viewing options set.
ReplyDeleteThe option to change the video you are watching to high quality is cool, and I think all videos should be high quality by default.
ReplyDeleteIt looks alright, but it is now really hard to read peoples comments on my video's, or read comments that people have left as a response to mine. There is not a direct link to the comments of the video, just the video it's self. This means alot of extra clicking. =(
ReplyDeleteShould be more social. Like "find your friends" in facebook...
ReplyDeleteCan you make Youtube more Opera mini 4.0 friendly?
ReplyDeletelame.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait!
ReplyDeleteThe inbox has long needed an overhaul, so way-to-go, YouTube! Shame that its heavy reliance on Ajax means that it only works on browsers that support Javascript - you COULD do this so that it works in all browsers with a page refresh, but its enhanced with Ajax for those who do have Javascript turned on (admittedly most people), rather than reliant on it. It's known as progressive enhancement, and it's not a new concept... http://adactio.com/journal/959
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the services.In the video insights we can watch the daily statistics of the video we uploaded. Can you also make possible for youtubers to follow the daily statistics of their channel completely/ Namely,"A channel insight"?
ReplyDeleteBest Regards,
İbrahim/Turkey
I'd like to have Ian Crossland E-mail...
ReplyDeletecool. im always happy to test new stuff on YT.
ReplyDeleteInteresting indeed
ReplyDeleteChanges I would like:
ReplyDeleteContacts: bring back message read info and perhaps have a hover option that shows profile picture of people when you hover yr mouse over their name.
Inbox: get rid of the shared display where u see comments, emails and vids. Very untidy. Bring back preview pane pls
My videos: make viewing the comments work as it currently does. Delete time column and put comment counter in a this would be more useful. Under playlist, list the playlists so I can click on specific playlist instead of clicking on playlist then on specific playlist.
I love the new look for contacts and my videos in particular.
I'm suddenly receiving new videos from channels I am not subscribed to. What's going on with that?
ReplyDeleteno higher res video aw....
ReplyDeleteall i can say is WOWOWOW. please upgrade now!
ReplyDeleteall i can say is WOWOWOW. please upgrade now!
ReplyDeleteThis is a HUGE improvement. I will be very happy once these are implemented.
ReplyDeleteWhy did you guys block Emtube & don't let us know?
ReplyDeleteDon't be evil? Right...
I like being able to sort my video list by title, date, etc. But clicking the triangle to show a video description doesn't show links as links and line breaks are lost.
ReplyDeleteThe InBox doesn't come up in Safari (v2.0.4). It does come up in FireFox.
I wish I could sort messages by From (or To), or by Subject, and not just Date.
The comment subject lines could be a little smarter: a comment I've made on someone else's video shows up as "A comment has been made on your video: [their video name]" It isn't my video, it is theirs! Clarifying this will also allow the user to separate comments they've made from comments they've received, especially if the "Subject" heading is clickable for sorting.
ReplyDeleteI think that travel comes from some deep urge to see the world, like the urge that brings up a worm in an Irish bog to see the moon when it is full.

Please bring back the percentage timer on the uploads page, or at least allow an option for it :P For those of us still stuck with a slow connection, the percentage timer was extremely useful at determining how long it should take for a video to upload.

ReplyDeleteI travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.

The new interface is awesome! Hurry up and update!
ReplyDeleteI looked at everything, it looks good but you can hardly call it testing when the only way to get to the new features is through the blog. Too much clicking and waiting to really test anything.
ReplyDeleteSo far my quicklist picks do not stay on between log ons. Is this something you are still working on? Everything else is looking great!!
ReplyDeleteI like the new interface. Just please bring back the percentage timer like the guy below said. It was nice to see how the uploading process was going instead of waiting not knowing when the video would be done uploading.
ReplyDeleteJust an idea, it's happened to me that I want to put all the videos I have under a certain Favorites list in another one, but some videos end up appearing twice in the list. it would be nice that you could change this so that if you add a video to a playlist that already has the video, it won't appear twice. I didn't know where to suggest this, so that's why I'm writing here.
ReplyDeleteCheers, youtube rocks

PLEASE, YouTube people, the 'View All' in My Recent Comments was a blessing. Especially with the quick display of the pluses/minuses. Yeah, that is basically my livelihood, being a recycled humanist and all that. And is it better if you reorganize comments in 'nested' form, so replies to comments wouldn't look like sudden retorts? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like the new designed but I would also like to see the following.
ReplyDelete1. A Mark As Read button. So, I can select a bunch of message at once and mark them as read.
2. You need to make sure you ask people are they sure they want to delete a video. I think for partners they should be force to do a Capcha especially if you allow us to do it in batches now.
3. I would like to see how many times a video has been favorite under My Videos along with the number of views and comments and rating.
4. You should be able to sort your contacts by approved and pending. It would be cool to see all the pending contacts you have at one time. So you can remove them at one time if you want too.
5. Also, you should have the option to set as video for 18 years old or older. Sometimes, you want too make a video for adults only. This should be treated separately from a video being flagged.
6. I would also like to see an option to say I don't want to recieve videos from this person but I still want to be their friend. I might want that person to be able to comment on my videos and my channel and send me message if I use friend lock but I don't want to recieve videos from them.
7 You need to change the video watch screen share tab to bring up the standard share on Youtube first and then Myspace and Facebook.
8. This doesn't have anything to do with features but Youtube should a create a Most Subscribed Unsigned Musician list because so many major musicians are coming on to Youtube. It just a matter of time before only a very small number of Unsigned youtube musicians will be on the All Time Most Subcribed musician list. It has drop from 60 to 39 in the just the last couple of months.
Great new features, thanks! For those of you trying to get famous on YouTube and promote your channels, there is software build to do just that. Free download at TubeToolbox . com :)
ReplyDeletethis is horrible what you have done to my inbox, now it is much more difficult to get to the "view all comments" page for videos, please correct this so that i can go directly to the view all comments page
ReplyDeleteIt`s totally practic.
ReplyDeleteVery nice improvements!...I like all of them...Thanks for this!

ReplyDeleteNeed thumbnails / descriptions of videos received pls!
ReplyDeletePls give us the option 2 watch vids in "hi quality" or the old way.
ReplyDeletePls put back the "HISTORY" link on the upper right of the main page instead on "QUICKLIST".
Pls add "post a comment" & "view all comments" 2 top not just bottom b 1 has 2 scroll down 2 read all comments; whereas having the command atop would be easier.
Thank You. YT ROX!

My kneejerk reaction: I like it. Great work YouTube! Ajax goodness all the way.
ReplyDeletei can't opt into the beta home page =/
ReplyDeleteWhy i can see anymore mär heaven anime, there only come this blaa blaa"This video has been removed due to terms of use violation." What violation, it is a cartoon/anime for children?!
ReplyDeleteYoutube can find much "violation" video than this, or you dont like/understand anime at all.
Please restore XENUTV1 Mark Bunker's account, or has seeking and speaking truth become outlawed by YouTube through CoS pressure?
ReplyDeleteAlso, seems to be a loss of function for 'more info' in many video's side-bars, part of the beta version?

Reinstate Mark Bunker's account you spineless shits.
ReplyDeleteI checked your new beta pages and honestly I wasn't all that impressed. The 'video beta page' is decent.
ReplyDeleteIf that is the new look you're going for, then at least make sure you still provide a comments link. I noticed there's no html link for the comments. That way people will still be able to directly access the main comment page w/o having to click on the video itself and THEN click on the comments link. It's saves an extra step and makes things go a bit quicker.
I think I like where the new design is going. However, there were some key features that seem to be missing from this new system:
ReplyDelete1)There are no links to a comment page anywhere that I can find. I like being able to go to "My Videos" and got to an individual video and click to see all of it's comments and nothing else. I'm set up as a broadcaster and it's important to me to keep the view count as accurate as I can, so I like not having to go to my video to see the comments.
2) Just like the comments link, the video response link also appears to be missing. Another thing I think is necessary.
3) I looked all over the place and I can't find the embed code anywhere. I do a lot of outside embedding and I absolutely need that code.
4) I think the inbox needs a mark-as-read button.
5) I'd love to be able to re-order my subscribers and my subscriptions. And I don't just mean giving them labels. I'd like to be able to order my subscribers for public view in an order different than the order they subscribed. Same with my subscriptions.
Well, those are my thoughts. Keep up the good work!
Hi, I'm a new user of youtube and really enjoy it. One quirk I found (and I don't see any plans of this being fixed here) is that the thumbnails or video stills that are picked for you are rather random. I uploaded a video of me showing a house to a buyer (I'm a realtor), and the three choices of video stills to represent my video were mostly ceiling shots! I'm not going to make this video public anyway because it's only for my clients, but still, I'm curious how are these stills chosen and I'd love to know if in the future there might be a way to generate/choose your own still or at least have a button that would generate three new stills to choose from. Thanks!

I would be nice if you had a WordPress plugin for bloggers. Something along the lines of the video commenting plugin from cdevroe.com
ReplyDeleteYouTube has issues! Lots of issues!
ReplyDeleteThere's a problem posting comments. I type a message, click to post and get 'comment posted' but when I return later it's not there. Now I enter, then copy my message, and refresh to be sure it's posted. Last night I did this 5 times and my message never did post! Please Fix This Problem!
Also, whenever I get a friend message to watch a new video it comes 3 times to my email inbox! What's up with all that?

Okay and now this message posted twice without me doing the copy, reenter thing because the message wasn't available for me to copy . . . AND I notice other messages are duplicated here too . . . These little things are a big pain in the *ss!

ReplyDeleteOne more thing, because I don't know where else to put it. BRING BACK MOVING ICONS! These type of icons are unique, very creative and some of them, like member RichardNorton and his deceased Goldie, they are heartwarming. His icon is a tribute to his first Bengal cat. Goldie was loved by all of her fans here at YouTube, most of whom never met her personally, but who miss seeing her strut in that little icon box! Bring Goldie BACK! Please?
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I don't care about any so-called new features until the stuff that's been broken for way too long is fixed. Meanwhile, QUIT CHANGING THE RULES. What's going on with the Profile Picture (aka avatar) functionality? Who decided that profile pictures must now conform to a 96 x 96 pixel square format? And why aren't the instructions for uploading a new profile picture consistent and clear?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you want? What are the exact, foolproof specs? I uploaded a new 96 x 96 avatar. YouTube cropped it. This is bullsh*t. Just tell us how to upload an avatar that YouTube won't mess with.
I can't even begin to detail how pissed off I am with YouTube at the moment. Hours of my life are lost forever, as I try to 'update' avatars for dozens of clients and friends... all because some jerk at YouTube decided to change the rules in an arbitrary and cavalier manner. YouTube is teaching me to hate the net... and corporations like Google who own it.
Don't mess with your user's branding specs without asking first. Don't add new features until you've fixed the broken stuff. Fix the stuff that never worked in the first place. QUIT CHANGING THE RULES until you have a clear understanding of the consequences.

ReplyDeleteOne thing I would like to see is a way for users to interact with the YT staff easier. Maybe like a community liason/public relations group/channel that people can contact. Sending emails rarely gets anywhere. Thanks

I love the new changes to the inbox and friends section. Awesome great job. I have yet to check out the new "My videos" update but I bet it will be good.
ReplyDeleteDisculpen, Espero que sepan traducir el español, sus aportes son buenos...
ReplyDelete... hmmm... si hubiese algo que esperaria, es como la facilidad de subir videos, en cuanto a velocidad, y el tiempo limite, no se a cuanto lo podian prolongar, pero eso seria bueno...
... Tambien seria importante que ustedes nos informen sobre los eventos youtbe, como concursos o algo asi, y que galardonaran más categorias, bueno, mi intención no era ofenderlos, o hacerlos sentir mal, sino aportar en algo, asi sea algo minimo...
... un cordial saludo, y gracias, por todo, directores de youtube
The 'view comments' fuction really needs to be brought back in the video comments section. The rest of the changes I can live with, but the comments section is just annoying. The old video comments section was vastly better, not to mention actually accurate about how made the video.

ReplyDeletejus made new account and i cant seem to find the link t oopt into the beta page
ReplyDeleteWhat about "My comments". Sometimes I wanna keep count of all my past comments like how you do in some forums. I'd like to see all my previous comments that I posted in one big list, so i can see if anybody responded or not, you dig???
ReplyDeletei already know that you can see who responded to your comment with the automatic email youtube sends when there is a response but that isn't enough.

ReplyDeleteA redundant complaint. I hate the new comments section. It is saying two videos have been commented on in my comments section. However, due to this new layout, I can't make heads or tails which two videos have been commented on. I am not going to open every video just to view the new comments.
ReplyDeleteI like/have adjusted to everything but the stupid comment section. Can't I selectively beta what I do and don't like so I can have a mix of the old and new features on my channel. The comments section drives me nuts. I can forgive it for existing only because I love the Contacts listing and setup. That is awesome. It almost makes up for the terrible layout of the comments section.
hello, where can i get dvds of the actor/comediam musa Hijazein? anyone know of any vendors that i can order from. i saw driving in jordan and loved it. thanks you

This isn't a complaint regarding the new features but a bug that's been around for some time and still hasn't been fixed yet: I have a pretty fast internet connection (16.000 kBit/s DSL) which works perfectly fine otherwise, and yet on your site videos take forever (!) to load. I mean: 12 minutes loading time for a 5:00 video (while nothing else is running / downloading)?! You've *got* to be kidding me! And it's been like that ever since your last update on April 11. Me and a lot of other people I know are already using other video sites instead of YouTube, as the service you're currently providing is totally unusuable to us. Please fix that, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance...
ReplyDeletenew inbox sucks
ReplyDeleteTerrible youtube before it was much better, now i cant see if someone has read a message i sent them. Also it says i have 6 'comments' i guess that's replys to my comments and i click on it and says 'There are no messages in this folder.'....

ReplyDeleteDAMN!! I was glad when Youtube restored the old inbox system, and just now it changed back to the new version, which I really HATE! I can't see anymore if someone has read a message and I can't see previews of the messages. PLEASE bring back the old inbox! Or at least give us the CHOICE!

ReplyDeleteI have to say that I agree with most people here. The new inbox is terrible.
ReplyDeleteThe new inbox is TERRIBLE.
ReplyDeleteMake it back the old one!
Support widescreen. Simple as that. If I upload a video in 16:9 format, it should broadcast (including in high definition) in 16:9. I shouldn't have to add letterboxing or change my video to 4:3 before upload. Let's get with the times, YouTube.

ReplyDeletePut a proper timed progress bar for uploading video. Recently when I've been trying to upload video the Uploading... star has been turning for hours on end & I've given up on the upload but I don't know if it's 20 seconds from completion or 20 hours or just not working, a bit more information would be a great help, thankyou.
ReplyDeletelet me put this simply. the new inbox sucks. I was so happy when it returned back to the old one, but then it switched back to the new one! :( I can't even see the whole message when I'm replying back to someone because its cut off, and viewing comments on my videos take more clicks than they should be and used to be, which is very inefficient. I just can't get used to it! :( CHANGE IT BACK!!!!

ReplyDeleteYou Need to cancel the beta...
ReplyDeleteplease DON'T launch the full release, it would be a very bad idea. the only extremely inconvenient part of it for me, though, is the inbox. i don't get why u guys think the new inbox is so much "easier" to manage. well, its not. DON'T go through with it!

ReplyDeleteI love the new inbox, ajax delete and all that! Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI must be honest, I hate the new inbox.Its hard to navigate, its confusing, and its ugly.
ReplyDeleteCan I opt out of this beta? I really want to, but there is no option to!
ReplyDeleteTHANK god i found this!! I really dislike the new inbox thing. You have totally taken away the uniqueness. I also find it boring, colorless and harder to read.
ReplyDeleteI like being able to see users profile pictures beside their name.
I also find it hard to get done what I'm wanting to. It is definitely a little more time consuming now.
PLEASE put it back to how it was.
Why change things that don't NEED to be changed??
I know you can come up with better things than that.
I am very disappointed that youtubers don't even get a chance to know what is going on before it even happens, unless they happen to find THIS blog or were unlucky to experience the beta version...
There's a MAJOR FLAW with the new Inbox/PersonalMessages/Sent: All words in "quotation marks" are practically illegible, including those in old messages that were sent/received months ago. "Video titles", "quotes", "user names", "headings", "references", "pseudo-words", anything "emphasized" -- everything that had or has "quotation marks" is now swamped with ugly """s everywhere. Please fix this flaw that renders many messages almost unintelligible, and we'll forgive the loss of our thumbnails and semi-preview panes.
ReplyDeleteThere are several comical flaws with the "Comments" section of the new "Inbox": .....1) Every single "Comment" or "Reply" I have received is falsely attributed to me, as though I stupidly comment or reply to myself all the time. .....2) Every single "Subject" heading begins with "A comment has been made on your video" even though I've never posted a video in my life. .....3) Every single one of those very same "Subject" headings is also all filled with the same needless and repetitive words, leaving precious little space for the actual video title. As such, we're probably better off with our MS Outlook, because not only does it give us the full title of the video, it also tells us WHO commented or replied. .....4) If you really want to help us YouTubers with our comments, how about fixing the old and continuing bugs such as .....A) Why do many of our comments often appear double, or even triple? .....B) Why do many of our comments not appear at all on the comments pages, but magically appear when we click on "View all comments"? .....C) Why do many of our "REPLIES" to comments end up at the top of "most recent comments" rather than below the comment we're actually "REPLYING" to? Everything looks disjointed, and we all look like idiots. .....D) Why do many of our comments totally disappear in the giant time vacuum between the first 2 pages of comments? .....E) Why did you eliminate from our profile/channel pages the "View All" link to our "Recent Comments"? Are we not allowed to see our own comments anymore? .....F) These blog comments are full of spam and rants. Where are the 5 icons ("reply", "spam", "plus/minus score", "thumbs down", "thumbs up") that always used to appear alongside our blog comments? .....Thanx for giving us the opportunity to express ourselves.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of comments: Why is it that I never ever receive an email notification if someone comments on my profile? 40 channel comments, and I haven't been notified even once... It's frustrating to accidentally stumble over comments days or weeks after they've been made even though the notification option is checked (My Account - Email Options - My profile receives a new bulletin or comment). It would be great if you could have a look at that. Thanks a lot in advance! :o)
ReplyDeleteOh, and how about allowing line breaks in the comments on this blog? It's working on the comments left on YT videos (which are usually a lot shorter than the ones posted here), so I know for a fact that you can do this. :-D
ReplyDeleteIt would greatly enhance the reading experience on this blog... :o))
My Recent Comments: Everybody on here seems to complain about the "My Recent Comments" section on the channel only showing the last five comments - and I agree about getting the "View all" feature back. Moverover, though, I would love to see a site that lists all the comments that I ever made but is only accessible to myself. Much like the favorites which you can opt to *not* show up on your channel page, and yet they're still viewable for yourself - just not for the whole world to see. A feature like that would be great! :o)
ReplyDeleteComments sorted by users: Now you got me pondering over things that don't work well or aren't featured yet... :o)) I've always thought it would be nice to have a section that gives me an overview of who commented on my videos (taking into account all of the videos I ever posted). A site that shows the comments, and automatically sorts them by the users that made them. Even if it only listed the comments left by subscribers, it would be very helpful in order to keep track of who likes what, etc...
ReplyDeleteFAVORITED BY: And one more (sorry to bother :o)): It would be great if we could see who favorited our videos. Not as a feature visible to all users, but to the person who posted a video. :o)
ReplyDeleteINBOX: Being able to create folders in order to move and therefore sort the messages we get would be very helpful.
ReplyDeleteThe way the inbox is set up right now, it's almost impossible to keep track of who contacted you. Also, it's a real hassle to figure out which messages you've replied to already (having to switch back and forth between the "General Messages" and the "Sent" folder *and* browse through the messages to find what you're looking for).
When I am logged in I no longer can see the "videos being viewed now" (or whatever it's called) on the main page. That feature is now only available when I am NOT logged in. Please put this feature back so I can see it when logged in. I have found many interesting videos this way.
ReplyDeletehow do i opt into the beta homepage featuring "latest from my subscriptions" "videos recomended for me" "freind activity" ect ect...
ReplyDeletei cant find out how

ReplyDeleteMy life is youtube, HEHE, I love you, the only thing I beg you Pls give us the option 2 watch vids in 'high quality' all the time, and very nice improvements, A 'LITTLE HELP FOR US' please and I like all of them, THANKS FOR THIS TOO!!!
ReplyDeleteTo the youtube beta team here are my comments:
ReplyDelete- The beta inbox is cleaner and easier to read, however it lacks the 1 click functionality of the current inbox (I can delete,block etc a users message with 1 click).
- The beta my videos is much easier to get a quick list of info on the video such as ratings and views, however while editing the video settings their should be a "Save" button at the bottom, so we dont have to scroll up. Also I do not see the "Insight" stats info which should be their as this is a one stop page for all the "Info" about the video.
Usability is my main concern and expertise.
Cheers

I Need Help Uploading My Video's.
ReplyDeletePLEASE PLEAS PLESE give us the option of wathcing the vids in hi res and the option of the new inbox. I dont like either. Thx.
ReplyDeletePlease, either give us an option of getting out of beta inbox or get rid of it completly. Most people dislike it. I am one of those people. I want out of beta inbox.
ReplyDeletePlease, either give us an option to get out of beta inbox or get rid of it completely.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't I see how many favorites a video has anymore? I liked that feature--it helped me figure out which ones to view.
ReplyDeleteI don't think YouTube should be working on BETA upgrades until my screen san stop telling me I don't have the latest FLASH Player. I HAVE THE LATEST FLASH PLAYER. I have reinstalled it two or three times. I have Enabled all of the Java and Flash things that the HELP files say to Enable. And now I'm out of options. There's no one to call. Good Luck to me, eh? But, hey, definitely enjoy the new cleaner screen on your Inbox.
ReplyDeletePls allow us the CHOICE of
ReplyDelete-watching the new hi quality or standard /old version
-the new inbox or the old inbox.
Also, y r u getting rid of the "message read" feature? It is a good way of knowing whether or not your message was read so u dont send it again & again.

Are the ratings for comments working? They never seem to change/update after I rate (ie. like a day or so later).
ReplyDeleteThe Function And Aesthetics Of This Is Equal To That Of Shit. Now When All Of Our Opinions Are Spoken And Lightly Skimmed Over...Go Ahead And Release It. Because That's How It's Gonna Go Down Either Way. Oh Well.

ReplyDeleteI hate the new inbox. You should have a link when you can switch between the old and new 1. I can't even look at messages.
ReplyDeleteI hate the new inbox... Especially since it says I have a new personal message, even though the folder for personal messages is empty.
ReplyDeleteAnd why does it say 'A comment has been made on your video: dfadfdf' when the comment's not on my video...?
