I thought I might bump up this thread which goes back to 2011 (it's been bumped before) and was started by the wonderful Tiger
It contains all sorts of useful info on technical problems, handy hints for inserting photos and links and, latterly, the fact that we seem to get 'notifications' that we can't get rid of (I'm up to 6).
If nothing else, another trip down memory lane.

Change at YouTube
Chat now monopolises the right side, recommended vids have displaced Comments.
I can't see that you can scroll back Chat unless you pop it out ???
IMAGICAT
I just checked and mine is fine, with comments scrollable, and recommendations below comments. Ah - are you in theatre mode?
I can scroll back too Scylla and just click chat away when I want to see full pic!

It's all sorted out now , thanks again

YouTube Chat
I have found that the new Chat cannot be scrolled back up to see history - not at all. But if you pop it out (per the 3 dots at the top), then you can. Maybe no-one else has had the problem, but just in case...
I can't reproduce this on my YouTube - nothing has changed for me, and I can still scroll back chat. I did answer you a couple of days ago when I asked if you were in Theater mode.
I didn't see your post, Jull
I'm almost always in Theater mode. Could it be Windows 11? I have seen complaints on Reddit when I googled but no screenshots. Maybe they're gradually "rolling it out", as they say.
That may be the answer - I'm still happily using Windows 10.
I was forced, Jill, when laptop died and I had to get an emergency replacement. It's been hell! The broken one's been back from the mender's for over a week but I've only just this morning booted it up and updated and logged on with it. The OS is a relief but it's not as powerful as the replacement...
