Previously known as "Right Side Description Panel". I renamed it to "Better Watch Page" since it now does more than just moving the description.
In 2010 Youtube moved the video description panel to below the video. This script puts it back where it belongs on the right side of the video, and makes a couple other changes to improve the "Watch" page.
Take a look at the features list below to see what else this script does, and please post in the "discussions" section if you find any bugs with the script. Also feel free to make suggestions or requests. If you use another Youtube script that this script breaks, let me know!
(If you just want the description moved to the right, and nothing else changed, try Right Side Description)
Features
- Description panel moved to the right of the video and styled in its previous style- Uploader avatar displayed with description
- "Subscribe" moved to the description panel
- Partner videos (with a partner image) display the partner image in the description panel
- Hide/show the category/tags by clicking "category"/"tags" in the video description
- Suggestions are given a scrollbar so you can scroll through suggestions while still watching the video
- "Cosmic Panda" mode. [Not all features/settings work in Cosmic Panda mode.]
Settings
Click the settings button to open a settings box. [Screenshot]Some of the settings include:
