Oh, this is nice.
Safari has suddenly started showing any Youtube video page as just a full page of garbled text and symbols.
I have no idea how to fix this. I have already emptied Safari's cache and even 'Reset Safari..."
I dont know if it is a Flash issue, but Flash is working on other video sites and YT is displaying fine in Firefox.

Any suggestions?

MacOSX 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.7

OK, apparently it is not just me.
Seem to be a Youtube issue affecting mostly Safari...

I feel that way every time I accidentally look through YouTube comments.

This is still happening for me. It's kind of irritating - there are actual educational videos on YT that I *could* be watching...
