In 2010 Youtube moved the video description panel to below the video. This script puts it back where it belongs on the right side of the video, and makes a couple other changes to improve the "Watch" page.
Take a look at the features list below to see what else this script does, and please post in the "discussions" section if you find any bugs with the script. Also feel free to make suggestions or requests. If you use another Youtube script that this script breaks, let me know!
(If you just want the description moved to the right, and nothing else changed, try Right Side Description)
