Something weird going on

[MissMillie]

Any post that has a YouTube link gives me this in place of the link:




Sorry, something went wrong.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

If you see them, send them this information as text (screenshots frighten them):






with a long string of garbage after that.

1. It's gone now.

I closed out of DU and came back in.

Seems ok now.


I ran a virus scan too.

2. Agreed. There's something happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear.

3. I'm getting the same error

just asked about it in one of the Music Appreciation threads. Hope it's fixed soon!

edit to add: tried logging out and back in earlier, didn't fix it. Did a hard reboot, too. No joy.

5. When I tried the second time, everything was normal again.

6. Mine are just big blanks now. Weird

Logged out and in again and got the blanks. It's nothing but white screen where the videos should be. That was happening a few hours ago, too, before the error message started popping up.

Yesterday I also had a weird issue. The site suddenly logged me out. When I tried to log back in, DU kept telling me I needed to enable cookies. Checked all my device settings, cookies were already enabled, tried again, got the cookie message again. Closed all my windows. Opened DU in a fresh window and I was logged in, as usual. Wtf? It was odd.

7. Ah! That happened to me just tonight

I had to log in when I first called up DU. That seems to happen occasionally.

4. That's been happening to me as well.

A "glitch?"

The garbage is an encrypted stack trace to help the YouTube programmers see what's happening.
