      Hi All

      For the last few months youtube has been running stupidly slow, take ages to load up, the videos lag this was never the case
      I've done a speed test regarding my Internet which is all fine. youtube works fine on Internet explorer, i thin I've cleaned the cache though i'm no sure, im using Opera 12 (the better one! :P) what the hell is going on? Again this never happened about 4 months ago 😞 i do love opera and it will be annoying if i have to keep using crappy Internet explorer just for youtube, please help giv me a run down of all things it could be and what i need to check etc, it must be opera no my Internet provider.Thanks

            Well, Internet Explorer has it's own version of the flash player plugin based on active-x, Chrome has it's own version built-in, which is updated through the normal browser updates. Opera uses a different version of the flash player plugin altogether, but this is the same version that firefox will use.

              I'm not quite sure what this has to do with Forum feedback, but look here -

              It's probably being cause by the new sidebar, which you can suppress with a user.css.
              Worked for me anyway!
              🙂
