YouTube – Old Playlist Editor Vs. New Playlist Editor

admin — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 20:29:01 +0000

YouTube recently launched their revamped playlist editor and it’s getting a TON of negative feedback. In addition to the typical complaints of people who just don’t like a new interface, there are a lot of posts about it actually not working correctly. It’s difficult to delete items, add items and managing the order of large playlists is virtually impossible. The drag and drop sorting is great for playlists of 4 to 5 videos, but for anything more than 10, it basically can’t be used.

I have over 500 videos on my YouTube channel and have around 20 playlists. Most playlists have more than 15 videos. I wasn’t a fan of the old list, but at least it worked.

For those that don’t like the new playlists, here are the instructions for getting the old playlist back. This may only be a temporary fix though, YouTube could delete the old pages at any time, so use it while you can.

Go to the Edit Playlist page for any playlist in your channel. From there you can get the YouTube Playlist ID that you will need to access the old editor for this playlist.
Once you are there, look at the URL in your address bar.

It will look like this:
1) The new style URL looks like this:
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?action_edit=1&list=123456789012345678

Where 123456789012345678 is the ID for your playlist.

Now copy and paste this into the address bar:
http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?p=123456789012345678

Again, make sure and replace the dummy playlist ID with your playlist ID.
This will bring up the old YouTube Playlist Editor.

Edit and save. Good luck. Enjoy this while you can, I’m sure they’ll delete this page at some point.

SPAM From Friends’ Hacked Email Accounts

I’m Chinese and we Asians love our Spam. Yes, for real. We cook it in stir fry, we eat it straight and Jack In The Box restaurants in Hawaii, where I have a lot of relatives, even have Spam items on their regular menu. Email Spam is a different story.

The last couple of days, I’ve been getting a lot of odd SPAMMY emails from friends. The emails have some horrible Engrish non-sense, like “Feel yourself like a celebrity!..” and “Rid of your impotence!.” Then a link with an affiliate ID that takes you to sites to purchase things like Hydrocodone or Viagry at a Canadian Pharmacy.

I haven’t seen emails like this in a long time and I’ve been trying to help friends determine where they are coming from.
Again, the senders are friends. They emails seem to be sent to 5-10 people at a time and they are blocks straight from their address books.
One was from a friend’s Yahoo account and another was from a friend’s AOL account.

In both cases, they were still able to log into their accounts, so their credentials weren’t altered, but there was also no traces left behind in the Sent Items folder either.

Very, very strange. Anyone have any insight?
