Okay, more changes now. Take a look at this.

I'm not sure how to feel about the new look of the "My Videos" section.

Also, here's what it looks like when you click on one of the following.

Recommended for You, Subscriptions, Favorites, Playlist

For this, I shall use "Favorites, but it's the same for the others as well.

Notice the difference here?

Your thoughts? Because I do not approve myself. -_-

EDIT: Oh, and do you guys know the worst part? It automatically makes you go to the next video on the list, even if you don't want to. Nice!

Hate...the bar...must...destroy...bar...and...autoplay...

Other than that, I don't mind the new "My Videos" layout, really.

That's probably because you copied my answers.

That bar is starting to get on my nerves.

I fail to see what the fuss is about. Does the site work, for free? Been working for me since I've joined.

No. I clicked the link before I read through the page.

I'm very sure: IT SUCKS! Like all the other changes they have made. At first I even didn't know where the hell I can upload a video! Then a friend of mine told me that I can upload videos using the upload button at the top of the page:

I've never noticed that button! The new design is NOT user-friendly, it's just horrible and confusing!

Of course there are many complains about the new design, but YouTube doesn't care about it's users.

-.-

I noticed the upload button pretty quickly.

You have tried pressing the "Autoplay" button to turn it off, right?

2007excalibur2007 · **Reply #69 on:** July 29, 2010, 05:41:06 PM

The thing is, it's not switched off permanently. It switches itself on again on every new video you're watching. It's as if YouTube WANTS you to use the autoplay feature.

DarkHououmon · **Reply #70 on:** July 29, 2010, 06:35:32 PM

What are you talking about? I don't have that problem. When I turn autoplay off, it stays off until I go back to the main YT page. There's no automatically switching back as soon as I click a new video in the list.

Campion1 · **Reply #71 on:** July 29, 2010, 10:54:22 PM

Youtube's brilliant implementation of the "playlist bar" in action:

2007excalibur2007 · **Reply #72 on:** July 29, 2010, 10:58:02 PM

Maybe YT fixed it after I posted that? Idk. I'll check it out again later. I'm still at school at the moment, and I'm posting this from my mobile.

Campion1 · **Reply #73 on:** July 30, 2010, 02:02:21 AM

I think they got rid of it. Thank god

Nope, I still have that dreaded bar...

And...

Yeah you're right, that's what I was trying to say actually. It's just that I'm more used to clicking on the "Back" button to click on another subscription video.

Still, I hate that bar. It's kinda annoying when it pops up everytime you HOVER it (I have a habit of moving my mouse around while watching a video, lol). I'd like it better if it pops up only when I CLICK on it. I'd like it even better if they just remove it completely. It's pretty useless IMO.

EDIT:
A friend of mine just told me a hidden feature in YouTube - On ANY video, if you pause it and hold down the Left Arrow key afterwards, you'll start a classic game of Snake... right on the player's screen.

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #75 on:** July 30, 2010, 09:07:10 AM

Oh, and would you look at that, they've changed the logo again. This is an interesting one because it changes every time you go to a new page. I must admit that it's a neat feature, but it does not add to the experience.

Petrie. · **Reply #76 on:** July 30, 2010, 03:06:09 PM

No problems here and I actually logged in and managed my videos, uploaded something new. Not one problem. I'm surprised youtube can take Mastroka videos...I thought for sure it would reject the clip I sent it.

Waluigifan · **Reply #77 on:** July 30, 2010, 04:27:53 PM

YouTube increased the maximum video length from 10 to 15 minutes!

That's the best thing YouTube has done since "YouTube Insight".

What I want to know is if the limit really is 15 minutes, or is it 15:59. Did they make it exact or not? Someone test this.

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #79 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:51:39 AM

Okay, you watch until the end of a video and you get something like this now.

Your thoughts?

As for me, yet again, I'm not sure how to feel about the change.
