I wouldn't go as far as saying that I hate it, but I can tell you that I never use it.

true 720p, is that the sieze that changes when you actually play HD videos?
as long as it does not remove the quality of those videos its ok for me.

I use it. Main reason why I use this script over other Youtube scripts.

What's the point in the script without it? I thought the entire purpose was to display Youtube videos at their full resolution, HD or otherwise.
Please bring it back. I've actually been very annoyed at its absence recently. Just because many people don't have screens big enough to display it doesn't mean you should remove the option entirely, thus depriving people who DO have big enough screens.

What are the "new viewing modes" you mention? I had a further poke around, and found that, currently, "Fit to window" acts on HD videos exactly as True 720p used to, that is, it doesn't actually fit them to my screen (1680x1050), it just displays them at 1280x720. However, it DOES make regular, non-HD videos fit the window, so that they're BIGGER than the HD videos. Apart from being illogical, this just isn't the behaviour I want. I want the videos displayed at their true, pixel-for-pixel size, as they're stored on Youtube's servers: that's why I got this script in the first place, because I thought that's what it was meant to do.
It's also recently changed to display some 4:3 videos really large (without "Fit to window", with either of "true 720p" or "Big mode"), and it seems to be ones that don't have a "super hq flv" download option. Compare this to this. Was that change in response to posts in this thread? It seems illogical. Shouldn't these videos display the same height as equivalent quality widescreen ones, just not as wide, rather than being the same width and taller?

Also, why are you so sure that so many people don't have displays big enough to even show 1280x720 videos? I know the majority won't have screens as big as mine, but that minority is a significant one. Also, 1024x768 is not as much of a standard as it used to be. Given that this script is about making videos bigger, shouldn't you cater more to people who are able to get the most benefit from it, rather than the least? If it's called "Youtube Ultimate HD" shouldn't it work best on actual HD videos?

I really hope I don't sound discourteous, selfish, or ungrateful, but I just don't understand your thinking behind removing this feature in the first place. I've really loved your script up until this, especially your diligent and swift updates to cope with all of Youtube's messing about recently.

@JonanthanHarris: I got the feeling that fitToWindow worked in reverse in the latest version. And I looked on the code and found this odd part

if(!opts.fit && opts.bigMode) {
	fitToWindow();
	fitBig();
}

But then some low-res videos have way squashed windows, were the 16/9 ratio of the window isn't maintained.
I added player.style.height="510px"; and everything seems to go back to normal. The way it was some 2-3 updates ago.

So, this is the ending to my highly customized version of this script:

	player.style.height="510px";
	if(opts.true720p && unsafeWindow.isHDAvailable) {
		player.style.width="1280px";
		player.style.height="745px";
		player.style.marginLeft="0px";
	}
	if(opts.fit && opts.bigMode) {
		fitToWindow();
		fitBig();
	}
}

I didn't realize it was a new version of big mode. I just felt that the script was broken as every video, regardless of quality has width set to 960px. So then no videos are showed in their native resolutions.

I have 'Use HD', 'Big mode' and 'True 720p' ON and 'Fit to window' OFF. But when I check 'Fit to window' all videos are fullscreen, except for HD which is native 720p. This has only happened with the most recent updates.
