Youtube Question - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Family Ties Forever! · 09-17-2012, 01:22 AM

Has anyone else noticed that the bar that goes across the screen with the circle is no longer there? It would allow you to go back or forward during a video. Also the length of a video is no longer visible.

Is it just my computer is this a new change that Youtube has made? Is there a way to get the features back?

Usually when you tube changes something, you can never get anything back. Not just you tube either. Many other websites do that too.

Oh ok. So no more 'fastforwarding' or 'rewinding'. That's a shame plus not being able to see where in a video time wise you are.

Jenny, I just checked, and I still have those features.

I've experienced what you saw time-to-time on YouTube. Usually it happens when they might be updating the system or there's some sort of glitch going on.

It usually fixes itself a few hours or a day later.

Thanks for checking Janice.

I still can't get it to work on AOL anymore, but I tried Internet Explorer and the features worked on there.

I checked out Youtube on Google Chrome and it still works there! Are you using the old internet explorer 7? Youtube is going to be phasing out of that soon.

Does that mean that soon Youtube won't work at all if you have Internet Explorer 7?

Sometimes if you switch browsers it will work, it's worth a shot anyway.

I have a youtube question, too.

How do people add captions and/or lettering to their videos. (Captions you can see on the video while it's playing.)
