Script Summary: Makes the subscription box more logical, as well as have the old modules (most popular videos, recommended videos) and remove the useless sidebar modules.
Version: 1.2.1
UPDATE 3/17/11: currently YouTube broke the script for recommended/most popular, I will get around to fixing it within the next week, but I am currently busy with a lot of work. Thanks for the patience...
Summary
The new YouTube layout is too cluttered and difficult to navigate. This script was made to make the homepage more user-friendly and elegant like it was before.
Notes
- The times (for the subscription box) don't always reflect the true time of upload. The reason for this is because the new AJAX part of YouTube only says when the last time the user uploaded a video, not on a per-video basis. I was going to handle this by getting the published timestamp from the API, but Chrome doesn't allow for cross-domain requests, and it was quite a lot of requests just to get the time.
- If the script suddenly stops working, that's because it relies on the fact that YouTube doesn't change its layout. I'll try to update the code as fast as I can for when this happens, though.
- This doesn't solve the mysterious reappearing subscription issue. This is an issue with YouTube, not the script.
