Also if you use Player 3 it will automatically use Player 4 on 3D videos. 2011.07.16.2 - Fixed alternative video players from breaking.

It was "Right Side Description Panel" and is now "Better Watch Page". This is because it does much more than just moving the description.

Added function to detect "Cosmic Panda" mode and warn the user that this script isn't compatible with that mode. After installing this update you might have 2 copies of the script installed. If that happens, uninstall both and then come back and install it again. June 20112011.06.28 - Added a debug function. If you're having a problem and I can't figure it out, this debug function will (hopefully) tell me where the script is messing up.2011.06.24 - Moved ratings bar back to the description box, and added a setting to put it where it was before this update (with "like/dislike" buttons).

Added functionality to cross out settings that can't be used with other settings. 2011.06.23 - Fixed bug where US English "License" message wasn't being detected.

Also improved the message given to users of browsers that don't support GM_ functions. 2011-06-20 - Removed "Licence: Youtube Standard Licence" from video descriptions. Other licences will still appear as normal, so if you don't see a licence then it means it is the standard licence. I also fixed a minor layout glitch on sponsored videos, and stopped the script from trying to run on "This video is unavailable" pages. 2011-06-19 - Fixed ratings bar when there are no ratings. Restyled the buttons below the video, and the data that appears below them when they are pressed, to be a bit closer to how Youtube used to look. 2011-06-11 - Revised the video rating bar position, and added a setting to make it bigger.
