Youtube changed its format again... : Othor Games

Now I can't find anything. My sub-box basically no longer exist, replaced instead by a very horribly unorganized list of one video per row. This is ridiculous.

Who was the idiot that thought this would be a good idea? If I could meet him right now, ~~I would probably splash some of my hot-chocolate on his face~~ type very big letters through the internet.

Yeah, I'm liking the old version better but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

They just kind of threw all of the categories into one giant mess, I can't stand it.

The only thing that svcks is the home page now and uploading which has been broken for months.

Why can't it just go back to how it was in 2008?

I know! I'm totally losing sleep over it!

Oh, wait, I'm still at work. I shouldn't be trying to sleep anyway. :blush:

It changed for me last week. I still hate it. I can adapt though like I adapted last time (Which was still awful).

I kinda like it. everything is right in front of me, it is quick and easy to access, and I adapt very quickly to new things. I do find myself struggling with certain aspects of it, but it is a lot more streamlined.

Maybe I don't use youtube enough, but besides the homepage it looks almost identical to how it did a few weeks back to me :shrug:

I've been using the Cosmic Panda beta for a few months now, and my biggest problem is that with the official release they've reverted changes back to the old style that are hideous compared to what the new one USED to look like.

So yeah, I disagree with you completely OP, they didn't change enough!

EDIT: This is what it used to look like - http://assets.gearlive.com/blogimages/youtube-cosmic-panda.jpg, now it's back to looking like this -http://imgur.com/Wgr7e

Same here. I thought the old home page was a mess, so I like this one so far. I just use YouTube for the occasional random video anyway.

At my end, everything in the left column is a redirect to the front page.

I dont like it.

Old youtube forever!

This. People are completely overreacting, as usual.

However, the new, optional channel layout is horrendous.

Tell me, how do I get it back to the optional channel layout, because it's the old one that's horrendous ofter using the new one!

There's a feedback button on the bottom right of the google homepage..

or at least there was for me..

I have also conveyed the awkwardness of the new layout, as well as punctuating it's unergonomic layout.

In my usual, easy going manner, I informed them that they could do worse than to sand blast the eyeballs of their chief interface designer, while selling off his demon offspring to various cults..

I'm awaiting reply..

So you want the new channel layout?

There should be a box above your channel that says Click here to try the new channels design

Damn, it only applies it to my own channel, everyone else's has gone back to the old one. The new one is seriously much better having used it and giving feedback (that actually turned into changes in a few instances) for a few months.

Edit Channel > Switch back to the old channels design

» Fri Dec 09, 2011 3:17 pm

The new design is terrible.

» Fri Dec 09, 2011 3:42 am

So much scrolling!

How do you view your favorite videos from your profile with the new style?

I don't really like how the new homepage leaves 50% of the horizontal viewing space totally blank. :confused:

They're on the right side.

That's why I use the subscriptions box.

Because Google loves to ~~break~~ fix things that aren't broken. That was pretty obvious after the first layout change.
