NEW (beta) version

Last night I got a bunch of "feature temporarily not available" messages at YouTube. Today a "Try out the NEW (beta) version of this page!" link is being shown at some YouTube pages. This is one day after I commented on the fact that playslists with more than 10 videos stop playing after 10 videos have played. One of the software changes seems to now allow long playlists to correctly play without stopping after ten videos have played. Another change is that there used to be a link from a playlist to your video log if you previously made that playlist your video log. I no longer see that link, but your video log can still be reached from your main channel page. Update: before the end of the day the video log link was back!

I was expecting to see something about the changes at the Help Center or on the YouTube blog, but there seems to be no information posted. At the blog, I did find out how to remove the "related videos" from embedded videos like this one:



Just add "&rel=0" after the video's URL.
