javascript error - 'Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player...

[ho2cultcha]

i have tried every single solution suggested by youtube, adobe, and whoever else has suggestions, and nothing works. in fact the problem continues to worsen. now i can't watch any youtube whatsoever. i get the javascript error everytime. i need to watch many of these videos for my work, and i CAN'T! can anyone help solve this issue before i'm homeless or commit suicide?

[TJX21]

Yep, getting the same problem here. Everything was fine in the afternoon until this evening.

[Brandon_Smith]

Same deal here... It is very very annoying! Please help us!

[Sousou19]

Same here. Can someone please sort out the problem!

[jessicarn2]

Yep having the same problem, it was fine during the day now it's not working. But I checked my laptop and youtube works fine on my laptop!

[jonnybemadatcomputer]

add me to the list... same problem

[TJX21]

I honestly think it's Youtube's fault folks. This kind of thing happened before where I was not able to maximize the player and then a few days later youtube worked fine again. The really annoying thing is some of my friends still have the previous flash player and it works fine for them and they all think I'm crazy.

[TJX21]

Can I assume we all tried uninstalling, restarting computer, and then reinstalling flash as well?

[Brandon_Smith]

Yes, I know I did at least.

[ho2cultcha]

yes. at least 100 times over 4 months. the problem is intermittent, but it's definitely worse now than ever. i can't see a single video on youtube.

[TJX21]

deleting cookies?

[jessicarn2]

I deleted my cache, my cookies, i restarted, uninstalled flash, reinstalled flash, everything. and i got NOTHING!

[Brandon_Smith]

Same here, nothing...

[shareno]

me too...it started this morning

[Brandon_Smith]

There used to be a button on every YouTube page that said like 'Click here for the beta version of this page' and when I would click on it the same thing that is happening now would happen... It looked exactly the same as it does now and acted the same. But I would just switch it back over to the other view and it would be fine... Did YouTube make the Beta version the standard view now?

[jessicarn2]

it did that to me too, when i clicked the beta page. i really hope not cause that is a huge pain in the butt! i hope someone can tell us what's up soon

[TJX21]

Yeah, the beta is now the standard. I think this is down to Youtube.

[jonnybemadatcomputer]

you can see the vids if you go to the users channel, but not if you link stright to the vid...

[Brandon_Smith]

Yeah man, this is lame... I really hope they get a fix out for this. I don't know how many people this effects, but obviously it is not just me, which makes me feel better, haha...

[TJX21]

There has to be some way of contacting Youtube, they seem oblivious about this!

[jessicarn2]

I tried looking for an e-mail or something but I couldn't find anything... I must be blind...

[TJX21]

Gentlemen, I urge you all to send your complaints here http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/request.py

It's the youtube support center where u can send them a message. Please flood these guys with complaints.

[ho2cultcha]

yes. please flood youtube w/ these complaints to speed up the fix. it's been going on for way too long and folks have been very, very slow to respond to it. and yes, there are many of us who this is affecting. just take a look at the number of responses to my original plea for help which i sent to this list last night!!

[sweethalen_]

Gentlemen? You sexist.

[jessicarn2]

Will do, thanks. This better get sorted out soon.
