New Video Page Look on YouTube

Like I said, all the power users of youtube think it sucks. The ones like me who just stroll by to watch things every now and then think its just fine. If you polled me, I would say I'm indifferent to the changes.

Great! Now they've gone and made the full screen video option as a pop-up. What are they thinking!?

And what's so bad about a popup?

With how much youtube is changing if you don't like the current design, just wait and they'll change it again.

The main problem with it is what happens when you make it bigger part-way through. Basically, the video starts over from the loading point and you have to wait until it does enough of it just to get back at the spot you were before.

I really liked the old one because of how fluent it was with going to full-screen. There was no need to wait, it was just automatic.

So yeah, the problem is that it makes it more time consuming.

I see. Well I guess it doesn't really matter to me either way because I hate the full screen option. I hated it when I actually activated it. The video quality drops in full screen.

Well, it matters to me because of the fact that I do watch some subbed Anime on YouTube, and with how small some of the subs are in comparison to the video itself, let's just say you're better off full screen.

Anyways, looks like Google was told off about it and they changed it back. Hopefully, they'll NEVER try that again.

I liked the old look better and what's the point of these things I have circled in red? The Soccer ball dosen't do anything, expect make an annoying buzzing sound.

DarkHououmon · **Reply #48 on:** June 27, 2010, 03:13:57 PM

The soccer ball is a reference to the Olympics I believe. They mention it in Help.

If it dose then what's that buzzing? It sounds like a bunch of bees.

The World Cup Championships are currently being played in South Africa at the moment, and this is a reference to it. The "humming" is actually the sound of thousands of plastic trumpets called vuvuzelas, traditional at African soccer matches. The button is a joke reference to the World Cup.

This is what they said.

The Soccer Ball is actually in reference to The FIFA World Cup. What you basically hear is the audience there. (I'm sure this will be gone by the time the World Cup is over.)

The one with the two screens is to make the video appear in another window. It's currently not working properly.

The last one in that circle is actually just meant to change the size of the video screen. It basically makes it bigger, but not Full Screen bigger.

I consider the first two completely useless.

Lol, at first I thought it was just the sound of buzzing bees, until I read one comment on a video explaining the soccer ball button thing.

I consider it ear-rape, though. XD

Okay, now I must really hound them out for this new update.

*clears throat*

*takes a few deep relaxing breaths*

WHERE ARE THE RELATED VIDEOS!? SERIOUSLY YOUTUBE, THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND YOU KNOW IT!!!

*lets out a deep sigh*

Okay, glad I got that out of my system, but yeah, that's the problem now. The Related Videos you see at the side of the video are completely gone.

Kor · **Reply #54 on:** July 14, 2010, 09:19:44 PM

I guess they changed it again since I was last on there?

Okay two things.

1. Was it really necessary to shout?

and

2. What do you mean they are gone? I still see them plain as day. They are still there.

This was taken just today.

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #56 on:** July 14, 2010, 09:53:45 PM

Well, they're gone for me, so I don't know what's up.

DarkHououmon · **Reply #57 on:** July 14, 2010, 10:08:51 PM

What browser are you using? If you're using Firefox, maybe a plugin is blocking them.

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #58 on:** July 14, 2010, 10:25:15 PM

Well, whatever the problem was, they're back now. So, nevermind!
