No 'random' option for playlists, everything is concealed so you must scroll over it to see options, no more star system and it actually looks worse and more out dated than the previous layout. Sorry if I'm late about this I've only just been stuck with the new layout.

It looks like they stripped it down to as basic as they could. It looks terrible, like someone who just figured out how to work with html decided to make a video hosting website. They should have just left it the way they bought it.

I completely agree, especially the comments section, it has no structure or oranization. Sux.

The lack of randomiser on the playlist tab makes me angry :evil:

But it might just be a joke since it seems to have been rolled out in the UK too, and we never get any new layouts when other peeps do, but have to wait in a sort of anticipation limbo.

The comments look bad, the information is bad and it just doesn't look as good.

And you know what is funny? The most recent iTunes update made iTunes look like trash too. I can't even search for the type of music i want like Rock, or Country or whatever. I've spent 15 minutes looking for a way to do this and i can't find it. Seriously, both of them need to make it more organized

I like some of the ideas, like the new rating system and how it has the top-rated comments up at the top...but yeah, it feels too empty.

The only thing I like is that it seems to load faster. Other than that, yeah, it definitely looks worse.

Why would they code an entire new layout if they were only going to use it for one day?

That's nothing to do with the layout, it's because of the Text video thing they have happening.

One of the things that annys me the most is how everything now seems to be hidden, you want to see when a comment was posted?, you have to put the cursor over the comment, you wanna see your quick list?, you gotta open a menu, that's so inconvenient.

Every time youtube modify their website, they manage to make it worse. It's rather an impressive feat. I still haven't gotten over their removal of the ability to make playlists quickly (such as from the "related videos" box on a vide page) and delete them easily once you're done. Now you have to make the dedicated effort to construct them and you have to share them with everyone else as a result. I don't want the rest of the internet to know which hannah montana songs I love from seeing my playlists :(

Agreed! Don't like the way it looks and it runs slower for me at home for some reason too. Also, I won't be able to get on to see anything at work anymore since we don't have the newest browsers here either. Now when I see a link to a video I'm interested in I have to remember what it was for and look it up later.

The only thing I really have a problem with is having the video info underneath the actual video. It makes it more difficult to read, especially when (for example) the person who uploaded a song put the lyrics in the info box. :? Other than that, I think it's decent.

I agree. It finally switched yesterday, and I hate it. I can't figure out how to manage comments in my videos, and it looks bad. The old way was great, they should have kept that.

Only because they're forced to get used to the new layout, like people will be forced to (yet again) get used to a new Youtube layout.

Also is the first time I've seen so much reject from the public, I have never complained about the site changes until this one.
