[Ryan1015697]

I am having the same problem

[Kennyboy0077]

I had the exact same problem ..

Just say "N/A" For now and put a description later guys. Best to do ..

[LethalKillingMachine]

I looked for someone else who ran into this problem, but I am still in the dark, too. My best guess is that they cut back on the length of video descriptions as people were making uploads with entire (very lengthy) essays and memory space cost money.

[BrianNelson123]

I hate to see the red banner Please check your video description. There is a current limit in size which is limited to ______characters with spaces. It changes from time to time.

[MickyMoz]

I can tell you aaint happy with this problem.But how do you cope when your computer tells you that windows has found an error in unknown caused by .dll unknown and must shutdown to prevent damage to hardware device unknown.

But seriously. Even when you moan your lovelly.

[Winge42]

Yeah, I ran into this the first time I tried to upload something. Very helpful - not. Eventually I solved it by removing all instances of the less than and greater than characters. (Don't dare type them here.)

[freshnshytz]

...help, i'm having the same dumb problem.

[kleineamy]

I don´t know what do do...

Hmm i tried to upload a video.

But there is everytime this sign

"Please check your video decription"

Hmm do you know what I´m doing wrong?

Is this description limited to words

or isn´t it allowed to use special signs?

For example like " ******* " or " ^^ " ?

Hm, i hope you can help me :)

[dolefruitcup]

it wouldnt let me use < so im guess ing use only letters and -

[kleineamy]

yes you were right, it was the sign "<"

that made it fail! Thanks =)

[gabo91VanDyk]

yes me to.....

[flippincrazy111]

i hated when that happened to me.

[bwdcfs]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING what a waste of time whore

[Prepoceros]

I apologize for taping your eyeballs open and forcing you to watch my video.  How rude of me.

[freshnshytz]

...lol.

[Jeffynoob]

is that the necklace from your riddle video :p

[angl327]

thats so stupid they should have a costumer service phone number that people can phone

[consciousdreamy]

Do you guys think that we could get the YouTube gods to bless us once more if we sacrificed some youtubers to them? To clearly show them that we do have faith in them?

[vestalallen]

They made a change to one paragraph. If you hit enter to start a new line you are screwed.

[ExperimentsinHonesty]

I am at the point of complete disgust I had to post a 4 sentence paragraph without any punctuation on someone's video reply to me It is humiliating

[Prepoceros]

The period is dead; long live the semicolon!

[ExperimentsinHonesty]

This is crazy [stop] I am really to fly there and hurt them [stop] They keep saying spam but they really mean too many users [stop]

[TheOptimisticSkeptic]

I think a lot of the problems are intentional, I may be wrong, but if you had a site that you wanted to push more and more away from text and towards video the changes they are making is what you would do.

[TheOptimisticSkeptic]

If people want to say something you force them to say it in their video not in comments, if they want to send youtube a message you do it in a video, if you want to comment on someone's video you post a video response.

[TheOptimisticSkeptic]

Video comments are very suceptable to search engine spam, the importance of the site gives individual pages overly high importance in search engine results, that can be seen with entries on wikipedia for example.

[Prepoceros]

Nothing personal, but I hope you're wrong. If the only way to contribute an idea longer than a sentence or two is to make an entire video, that'll squash a lot of great discussion.

[TheOptimisticSkeptic]

I hope I'm wrong as well, as far as the description I don't think I am, and long comments work fine as long as you only use a period at the end, there is basically a hit or miss one sentence comment limit, it may depend on the letters you use after the period, if they are like com or net or us or any of the hundreds of other domain extentions, it won't work.

[Prepoceros]

Gah; commenters' grammar is grotesque enough when they *aren't* encouraged to abandon punctuation.

[DClaudeKatz]

You'd think their physical resources are an issue, too, though. Do they really want terabytes upon terabytes of unnecessary videos?

[TheRubberDuck77]

I hope this is a bug, it sounds like it might since their contact us is limited too.

[dspiel]

Hmmm, yeah, a basic rule of error messages is it's helpful if the error message tells you WHAT is wrong. Good to know youtube is useless in that respect.

[adbosco]

I tried to write a comment to your last video and youtube wouldn't let me! It kept saying that my message was too long, even when I cut down to 1 word!

[Prepoceros]

I've seen some crazy "your comment is too long" issues, but one word? Sheesh.

[Jervns]

* * * * *

[abritinabox]

Once again the war against spam ends up causing more harm than good.

[Prepoceros]

Yup. What I don't understand is how I could possibly spam anyone in *my own* video description. What are they trying to fix? Sigh.

[DClaudeKatz]

You can spam your own video description by putting in a lot of commercial links if you are a misbehaving videomaker It would be appropriate to use a different spamblocking technology for this but obviously they are experimenting

[Prepoceros]

True, but that sort of spam is easily avoided -- don't watch spammers' videos. It's the spam that lands in my inbox and under my videos that I care about controlling.

[DClaudeKatz]

The preferences of YouTube's owners are probably different from yours in that they want to make sure anyone who uses it for commercial purposes has to pay for the privilege even if it doesn't bother users.

[Prepoceros]

Ah, I see what you mean. Good point.

[LiLRichRedneck18]

thats Gay!! hope it gets fixed!
