Its lagging so bad. The video even stops (while the audio is still going), and i have to move the mouse constantly just to get a consistent video. What is going on? I know that I do have to update my Adobe Flash plug-in so that could be it. But is there lag like that for anyone else?

I've been having similar problems lately. Also, it takes forever to switch to HD. Before it only took a second or two. Now the little gear spins for like 20 seconds before switching over. Sometimes it doesn't switch to HD at all. It just gives up and downgrades the picture to 360p.

It's run like crap for a year or so now. They keep updating adding more features and making it god awfully slow.

At home I have trouble with youtube whenever I have adblock on in firefox. It hits that little yellow ad bar on the timeline and hangs up or runs super slow.

Always does things like this with me. I usually have trouble trying to pause/play videos by touching the actual video, and just resort to pressing the actual play button. Not a big deal, but hey.

not lately, though there does seem to be more ads, and longer, they're becoming advertisement crazy over there what really pisses me off is when videos won't load but ads load up like nothing
