So, flood, as I'm sure most of you are aware, youtube has changed it's layout. The new layout is, as far as I'm concerned, awful. Therefore, I have created this simple guide for you to change it back to the previous version.
However, please be aware this only works for firefox and chrome, as far as I am aware. It may work on other browsers, but I cannot make any sort of promises. I you want to download firefox to change it, go [url=http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/]here.[/url] If you want to download chrome, you're stupid.
Firefox:
1) click [url=http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/]here[/url], and add to firefox. You may have to restart. Don't worry, it'll restore all your tabs, so I'll still be here! (yay) The extension allows you to download themes for any website you want. I'll be using it for this. I can guarantee this download is safe.
2)visit [url]http://userstyles.org/styles/79580/youtube-get-the-old-design-back-updated-dec-12[/url]. This is a theme that changes youtube back to the old layout. Click install, or whatever it says in the BIG GREEN BUTTON.
3)Visit youtube.
4)????
5)Profit

Chrome:
1) Go [url=http://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylish/fjnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe?hl=en]here.[/url] Install it.

Sliding ghost recommends this. This isn't stylish however, so I cannot verify whether or not it works.

Whilst we're on the subject of stylish, it can be used to change the layout of multiple sites, not just youtube. However, be aware that if you use http for some websites, certain scripts may not work if they have not been coded to do so. Otherwise, it'll be fine.
One example is [url=http://userstyles.org/styles/50278/glass-galaxies-a-theme-for-bungie-net]glass galaxies[/url], designed for bungie.net.

I'm already used to the new layout.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sliding Ghost Eh, [url=http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/152190]this[/url] is way better. Also, [url=http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/155043]here's[/url] something I tweaked. [Edited on 12.26.2012 6:19 PM PST][/quote] I included this in the OP. Also, bump so more people can see.

The only problem I have with it is the way it's left-aligned, so I don't really care about the layout.

Everyone hates when these sites change their layouts, then they get used to it within a week.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SawzeBawse PIN THIS!!!! i love you OP[/quote]Pinning is based on saves. The more people that save it, the higher chance it has at being pinned. Anyhow OP, you could always expand this thread with styles for more sites, like the [url=http://userstyles.org/styles/50278/glass-galaxies-a-theme-for-bungie-net]Glass Galaxies[/url] style for here.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Decimator Omega I'll see what else I can find. Thanks. Also can I mix this with a black theme? There was a black theme that went well with the old theme before YouTube changed it again. Guess I'll find out if that works too. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Spartan 891 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Decimator Omega I wish I could go back even further, like when YouTube use to have the 5 star rating system. But I know that will never happen. At least this is something.[/quote] If you search userstyles, you might find something. Personally, I was only trying to change the dislike bar back to red, but found this, so though I'd share it.[/quote][/quote] [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] WhitestKidUKnow Also, this should help out with those that didn't know about Stylish. [url=http://userstyles.org/styles/59573/youtube-lights-off]If you want more, I'm currently using the lights off theme.[/url][/quote] They work together.

[url=http://i.imgur.com/072nH.jpg]>mfw mine is still the old layout[/url]

That looks interesting, OP. I'll take a look at it if I don't get used to the new layout before trying.

Why'd I want to go back to that ugly layout?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Courageous Mike It's not the best, but i've gotten used to it. I use internet explorer, so I couldn't use this anyway...[/quote] Download firefox? It's fast and easy to use, and offers good customisation that IE doesn't.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Postwarbean85 It's fine except for that stupid blank half of the screen. Now that I'm on a widescreen I can see it.[/quote] A gap which you can get rid of if you look just up there ^.
