| BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | GsBBoyDan | 3/23/12 5:12 PM | http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/9837/yotuuberesolutionbutton.jpg See that stupid sprocket button? Do you like clicking it EVERY TIME you watch a video to see what the resolutions for it is, and what it's on? I SURE DON'T!!! PLEASE Bring back the but |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | anmoose | 3/23/12 5:37 PM | I'll add a resounding AMEN to that! It's a constant annoyance, and is completely pointless. |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | Mega Byte | 3/23/12 6:46 PM | I've disliked this change since it started and can't adjust to it. As well as the hassle to close that menu after opening it to check if no change is made. |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | 4thel0ve | 3/23/12 8:08 PM | I also miss seeing the res at a glance. The res menu hanging about after I click it is annoying. I find that after I click it, I can't look at anything else until I click it again to make it go away. :p |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | Girloveswaffles | 3/23/12 10:26 PM | I'd really like to hear the "Explanation" from a Google-bot, ... er Google Employee on the reasoning for the change to a gear instead of actually showing the resolution on the screen. those answers are usually classic (eye-roll). |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | Klementine | 3/24/12 12:04 AM | I guess some of us are easier to brainwash than others. I had already forgotten what the old one even looked like until I read this thread. ..... oh I almost forgot - I am programmed to say I like the way the new little gear spins when the resolutio |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | BaltimoreAndOhioRR | 3/24/12 10:31 AM | I swear, if I didn't know better, I'd say that YouTube looked at the old design piece by piece, and every single part they got to, tried to think of a way to make it less convenient/user friendly, uglier, or eliminated it completely! I say this half- |

| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | 4thel0ve | 3/25/12 6:09 PM | Someone in these fora mentioned a site that loops yt videos. Ironically, though it is not affiliated with yt, it does what we want yt to do: 1. It shows the video res, 2. it displays additional resolutions when you hover your mouse over the res, and |

| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | CurePanicAttacksAway | 3/31/12 3:09 PM | Yes please, the button is so retarded. |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | RandPC | 3/31/12 5:34 PM | Well it succeeds in annoying us, and that does seem to be very important to YouTube |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | NintendoFan | 3/31/12 5:56 PM | They should just have a setting like they used to that forces the videos to the highest resolution automatically. It's so annoying having to do it manually. I got a script for GreaseMonkey that does it automatically, but it doesnt do it on every vide |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | GsBBoyDan | 4/3/12 3:32 PM | Once upon a time a button had numbers on it. It was proud to have number on it because it let everyone know what resolution he was! All the scums in the town had sprockets pictures on them, and they where not proud because they had nothing to show un |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | WhatIsConsciousness | 4/9/12 2:27 AM | BRING IT BACK |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | GsBBoyDan | 4/9/12 4:08 PM | This button is annoying as fuck. |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | player5xx | 4/9/12 6:06 PM | yes i dont know why they changed it when i pull up a video on my 1080p monitor and have it on the larger player it defaults to 720 but if its lower quality id want to change the veiwer so i have to check the resolution each time on every video. |

| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | outlawstarr | 4/14/12 9:11 AM | YES, thank you!! Thought I was the only one annoyed by that stupid sprocket! It's even worse on the videos using the HTML5, I feel like I'm on one of those flash sites that never worked properly because the encoding was incorrect the whole time. WHY |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | Girloveswaffles | 4/14/12 12:53 PM | Not showing the resolution is dumb. Using a gear on a button for the resolution is insane. What the F*** does a piece of mechanical hardware in the real world have to directly do with video reolution? This is hard proof of what's wrong with GoogleToo |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | anmoose | 4/14/12 1:06 PM | The responses they've gotten to this, just like some of their other unbelievably stupid ideas, clearly shows that this DOES NOT "enhance the experience" at all. It accomplishes nothing BUT making it less convenient, more difficult, UN-intuitive, and |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | melis256 | 4/14/12 3:01 PM | I recently had my resolution go DOWN when I full screened <_< So I have to rise it again whenever I full screen >:( And the setting that says to always keep the highest available res, don't do squat. - Talk about not even testing your simplest shit!! |
| Re: BRING BACK VIDEO RESOLUTION VIEW | Xeros612 | 4/16/12 10:26 AM | I have to wonder if the people making or ordering these UI changes at google even took a User Interfaces course in university. This is a poor design choice through and through, especially if you're familiar with their Chrome browser. Why would one ch |
