Has Anyone been on YouTube?

I cant pull up a video on Youtube. Everything looks normal and I am logged on but everytime I click on a vid, It comes up and just doesn't start. I scroll the mouse over it but no timeline comes up under the video.

Is it me or is there a problem with the site?

Are you using an adblock extension for Google Chrome or Firefox? There is a setting where it tries to block the ads before youtube videos, but it never seems to work for me.

No.

Can you go on and see if it works?

Works fine for me.

Works on other computers in my house too. I don't know what it is. I've removed blockers and I downloaded Adobe Flash again, after removing it the first time.

Ugg. This is bull. I have to figure this out. I might have to go to a Genius at the Apple store this weekend.

Hang on. My 64 bit fancy, schmancy Toshiba Laptop with Win 7 needs to run youtube in 32 bit mode.

If this is your problem, make sure you're running IE in 32 bit mode, not 64.

"64Bit Windows includes 32bit IE, which is used by default. Unless you explicitly start 64bit IE, you're using 32bit IE for all browsing..,"

Youtube wasn't working on my computer around the same time tonight. It was working on the other computer though for some reason. The same thing happened, with a black screen and no time bar under where the video should be. I opened up youtube about a half hour ago and now it works again.
Maybe just try again later?

Edit: No, wait, it still doesn't work on firefox. When I was on earlier it was on internet explorer. There was some other things on firefox that weren't loading today either, like the image code box in photobucket. I dunno what's going on.

If I go through "Subscriptions" or I click on the uploaders name next to the Video Title then I can watch it. But then I have to look for the video again after I go to a Subscription.

This is crazy. I can't believe how much this is agonizing me. I see how getting used to technology is like being addicted to crack.

Yes. I did it again. I have to go to a Channel and pick from that persons collection. I cant believe Youtube has no contact information to ask for help.
