I saw no thread for it, which led me to think that I should start one, so... tada, I guess?

*shrug* Don't know what to tell you there, everything is where it's supposed to be for me. Maybe you didn't do it right or clicked on the wrong thing? Or maybe the service was really wonky at the time you did it? Try it again now, I'm sure you'll be fine. Look around the help center if you need stuff clarified on how to do it safely. If stuff does screw up, send a message to Google's tech support or post in their help forum (however you do that—I myself have never been able to figure out their help forum or even where to find it, aside from finding specific threads in web search results) and ask what gives.

Yeah it worked this time, I last did it a while back when it wouldn't stop bothering me about it, but you could still post comments.

Glad to hear it worked this time at least. I avoided it up until now, even just dealing with those annoying prompts, since they were infrequent enough, because I just didn't feel like putting in the effort to make sure nothing gets screwed up as a result.

I don’t mind the G+ thing, that I can deal with. I do find it extremely annoying that I am now unable to cross-post videos from blip.tv like I used to. Apparently, to reactivate that ability, I need to use something called an “application specific password.” Which I am unable to do unless I link my cell phone number to my Youtube account. Oh, hell no! Google is NOT getting my phone number!

Supposedly, there’s a way to link Youtube videos manually from the Blip side, but uploading videos twice? A huge hassle, especially with my slow internet.

And linking it to the worthless and forever unused Google+ account which I will only use to complain to Google about their shit has not restored my ability to see comments much less make them.

Google is trying to make Youtube into Facebook. I don't like that.

You know, you don't have to use it. I ain't using mine. Not even bothering to look at it.

Honestly, literally the only person I know who has ever bothered even to try G+ is Hopey.

That was the once and only time I ever navigated to my Google+ page! I won't again.

They certainly altered the nature of youtube comments with this change. Now we've got full essays of spam.

Also despite linking a google+ account I can't comment.

....hmm. So I may be able to comment on videos still, because I AM connected to a Google+ account.

Didn't really like the 5 star system in the first place.

What I'm finding is that Adblock Plus blocks the comments section, even on the "All Comments" page. What's annoying is it lets me select an individual element like that to filter, but not to unfilter; that seems to only work for whole domains.

[up] How do we fix that?

Youtube comments are back for me. I figured out the problem was with my adblocker.

apis.google.com is what they use to show comments now; it's tied to ad filters, so if you have an adblocker and can't see comments, try disabling that filter. I didn't see any google ads return, so it seems safe to do so—though they take longer to load now.

I now have a different issue. I can see the comments just fine, but when I click in the box to comment...I can't type anything. The cursor is there just fine, but typing anything doesn't make any text appear.

I really hate to be a conspiracy theorist but does anyone think the reason the You Tube Music Awards are being done now is to divert attention away from the site change?

This happened to me when I was using Firefox. Once I switched to Chrome, I could type stuff in just fine.
