What Happened to Youtube?

Post by Gary Walker »

I notice now when you play a video, there is no full screen box, no replay option and no current timing bar line. Thanks.

Gary, I recently had the same problem. Switched to Google Chrome and everything now back to normal.

I was having similar issues as well, and like Tony, using Google Chrome solved all that.

Interesting. I just checked all 5 major browsers on my computer and none are having problems.

Maybe you need to update your flashplayer?

I think if you have your settings to where it downloads everything in HD, then you get these glitches, but if you let it come in at lower setting, then go in HD or High Quality then you don't. Unfortunately I have a teenage boy who does not understand the concept of default settings quite yet.

That could be Daniel. I just use the default settings. The only issue I had when I did my test, was with IE8. I had increased my security settings due to a threat against IE (see Wiz's announcement at the top of the Computers section) and all videos listed had black screen previews and would not play unless I reduced the security rating to med-hi.

I use Google Chrome as my #1 browser anyway.
