Is YouTube down?
« on: February 24, 2008, 12:58:07 PM »
Hi

Can someone just check to see if they can get on to YouTube please? I haven't been able to for 3 days now. Even the videos in google search show up as plain white boxes.

I should point out I'm in the UK.

Thanks

I wonder if it's anything to do with the critisim they've got & bad publicity of late, what with all the bullying videos & whatnot?

    It works for me.
    Sounds like a problem on your end honestly if you haven't been able to access it for 3 days.

    Hey, I can't see your signature Broni, just a red x.

      Very strange.

      I tried to open Firefox to see if it was IE & it just hanged with a 'transfering data from Google' message in the progress bar at the bottom left.

      So I restarted IE to come tell you about it & what do you know, Broni's signature is back in full effect & also YouTube is back.

      I wonder if it's a conflict?

        Access to YouTube actually was down yesterday for most internet users and it is conceivable that some first regained access today:

        But it haven't been down for 3 days so this is probably just a coincidence.

        But what is the status now? Can you access YouTube from both FF and IE?

        What conflict would it be?
