Thanks to 8-Bit Theater for pointing this one out.

Anybody know when YouTube is going to update their JavaScript to support Adobe Flash Player 10? It's driving me nuts that arguably the biggest user of Flash software still hasn't adapted after 2+ weeks.

In the meantime, enjoy something from their competitor:

Wouldn't implementing anything on a site as big as YouTube take weeks?

No its in their Javascript. It should be a singular fix.

The problem stems from a typical CompSci problem - comparing strings against comparing numbers. Now that Flash is at version 10, its being treated as lower version number than 9 in poorly written scripts like the one in use at YouTube.

"10" < "9"

but

10 > 9

So the dumbasses just need to update their script to do parseInt(). It amazes me that they still haven't as their site is absolutely non-functional with out it.

What's worse is, if you don't have Flash at all (common for new PCs) or have a much older version, YouTube directs you to the Adobe download site... which of course installs version 10. *shakes head*

Have you tried pinging them about it? There is a small chance that they aren't aware of the issue.

I'd like to but I run Windows in Japanese preferred language mode so games work right every time. The only places that backfire doing this are Apple's software updater (which sucks for many worse reasons) and on YouTube's site. YouTube has a language selector at the top of the screen but it doesn't seem to work (indicating more Javascript problems.) So I haven't found the "Help / Contact Us" link yet.
