    Youtube doesn't load tumbdnails, keeps loading forever


    As the title says bringing up a YouTube page doesn't load all thumbnails including my own in the top left and users/videos ones. Page looks like this:



    This happens in Chrome and Firefox. It started about a week ago apparently when some script froze and I forced it to stop running. It's really annoying since it usually stops comments loading and videos too sometimes. I did try wiping everything and reinstalling FF if you're wondering.

    Sorry if this is the wrong subforum to post in, not sure where else to post.

    bump.

    I looked more into this and it doesnt seem browser related, some kind of Youtube script doesnt work, maybe flash player is bugged?

    Did you try IE, first without flash and if that doesn't work with it?

    You shouldn't need flash for YouTube. Maybe for the older videos? Try disabling flash in extensions, and see how that goes.
    You can also try another account.

    Edit: One other thing you can try would be install Zenmate free and see if you get the same behavior when connected to a different youtube server.

    Also try cleaning temp Internet files, if you haven't already.

    Hi,

    I tried IE with and without flash and its the same thing, user thumbnails dont load, and sometimes comments dont load. Im pretty sure its the script that froze and I forced to stop a week ago, looks like it was permanent.

    It means either the youtube server you are connecting to is feeding you with a corrupt script or your ISP has some form of a cache which has the corrupt script.
    Does it stop wırking if you disconnect zenmate now?

    Well, ZenMate is a workaround and not a real solution. You should email/call your ISP and ask them to investigate. If that comes up alright then email Youtube.

    Chrome uses it's own built in version of flash player. Firefox uses a different version and IE yet another version.

    Suggest: Download the Flash Player Removal Tool

    Close all browsers and run the tool.

    Delete these folders and confirm that they have been deleted by attempting to navigate to them after deletion.

    C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
    %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player

    Reboot. Run Ccleaner if you have it installed.

    Download and install the versions of flash player that you need from here:

    Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe

    That's:

    Windows

    Internet Explorer - Download EXE Installer
    Plugin-based browsers - Download EXE Installer

    Then open an Elevated Command Prompt and type:

    ipconfig /flushdns

    Press Enter.
