Youtube Thumbnails

Postby jonbar.1 » Tue Nov 17, 2020 12:02 pm

Usually, when I play a video on Youtube, a stack of suggested video thumbnails appear on the right ( usually the same TV series or the same Artist, for example). I find this very useful.
Today, however, I am seeing NO thumbnails at all, just the open video on the left,and blank on the right. :think:
It's the same problem on my three other browsers( also the same on my Youtube phone app).
I have tried clearing the "history" & "cache" from the browsers, to no avail.
I note that If I "sign-out of Youtube", I get the thumbnails back !
Can anyone help to get my thumbnails back please....without having to "Sign-Out" :wave:
Thankyou.

Could be a bad internet connection. Does the video take ages to start playing?

Additional info to my original posting:
If I sign-out of Youtube, I get my thumbnails back, but, of course, I lose my "library" playlists.
So problem not yet solved.

Final update:
Realising that there was no problem if I was signed-out,I had a look at my profile icon.I selected the option "Switch Account" and chose the alternative account.( Don't know why that was there ; must have clicked something in a past- life).
However: it solved the problem. :thumbup:
Thanks for the input. J
