YouTube, anyone else having problems?

Is anyone else experiencing weird problems with the YouTube sire recently. For instance, when I go to the site it never fully loads. All I get is this...

...the main body never loads. I have to F5 it to get the actual main part to load. This happens every time, even if I leave the site and then instantly go back to it it requires re-loading to display correctly.

Try using the old version of youtube or the different skin, you could also try to clear cache.

Yes, i have been getting similar issues. Using chrome, i have to completely close chrome and re-open for Youtube to work again.

What do you mean by 'old version of YouTube'? I'm using www.youtube.com, no add-ons or skins - just the bog-standard website.

Working fine for me.

Well, your youtube is on dark theme mode right? Try switching to the normal white mode.

Youtube is testing a new design which they rolled out to some people, you can revert back to the old design in the setting icon top right. Check if you using it or not.

I have been getting shakey youtube videos for a few weeks now

Dark theme sucks but my white theme is working fine. YouTube has always been working fine for me. Never had any issue with it.

+1

The dark theme isn't to my liking either - or many others either, from what I can gather.

Check your Chrome updates. Use FF still here.

they moved youtube to UK DNS resolution recently.

Fine for me.

This had helped, updated Chrome and no problems since.

had issues the other day, if i clicked a link it would load a blank page except for the video box, but wouldn't play. if i refreshed that page, the vid would play but it still wouldn't load anything else on the page. was only a one day occurrence though.

happening again, seems to be a WIn10 issue?

It's been a lot more laggy for me since they updated the design last week. My Internet connection is fast, but videos are buffering frequently too.
