    The star rating system is out and "Like this" or "I Dislike this" is in.

    The handy url box has disappeared and the url in the address bar is now about twice as long which is a bit annoying.

    Overall it looks more cluttered than ever, way to go youtube.

    One thing they've gotten right recently was HTML5 video coding. Once it loads, and it doesn't take long, the whole video is loaded. No more pausing and waiting for it to load.

    Still in Beta though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    not to mention you don't need flash installed for html5 to work. i ****ing hate flash.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭Hank_Jones


    Fcukin sick of having to watch ads for Green Zone in order to watch a video.

    Doing my head in.

    If ever I was going to see it before....I'm certainly not going to see it now...

    I don't notice any difference to the youtube of old.
    It still has the star system.
    Or is what you are talking about going to be coming in affect soon?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭djan


    I hate it ! comments,description are hard to read, all seems cluttered. Then there is the bug that some videos will open in fullscreen and cant be watched in the ''box''. Then theres the annoying auto-playlist (I know you can turn it off...) PLEASE GO BACK TO THE OLD LAYOUT :eek:

    ...end of rant.

    What are you on about it's the same as it ever was, I don't see any like dislike crap.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,784 ✭✭✭Superbus


    I found this screencap on another forum.

    Doesn't look too bad in my opinion.

    I see no difference whatsoever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,840 ✭✭✭Luno


    Only thing I saw that was different was they put ads in front of things...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭jd007


    Damn I feel so left out! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 407 ✭✭AfterDusk


    They must be updating 'periodically' like facebook did recently. But, I do feel left out :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    You must have done something to upset google, why would you anger google?

    You can switch between outlays by changing the "enable=".. part in the link below, change it to enable=0 for the old layout

    If this worked for me, which it didn't, it wouldnt be practical.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭Hank_Jones


    Oh no, it's starting to change.

    It's like a virus taking it over or something.

    NOOOOO!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    :confused:

    I've been using Youtube heavily enough for the past few days and haven't noticed too many changes.

    If ads are annoying you on a video then you're just not looking good enough for another version. There's always at least 2-3 copies of a video.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,621 ✭✭✭Panda


    I dont get it, i have the new youtube layout on one laptop and the old layout on different laptop. weird.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,104 ✭✭✭moonflower


    You can switch between layouts at the top
