    You are right. Brain fart on my part. I have noticed that recently YT has added something after the token. I thought I just had to remove that part.

    Hey, I am 75. And according to this I am 2 years expired.

    American men's life expectancy is now 73.2 years, compared with women's 79.1. While women generally live longer than men, the gap has expanded in recent years.

      YouTube appends a tracking component to URLs now. You and everyone else definitely should get in the habit of removing them before sharing links.

          Whenever a user clicks "Share" on the YouTube website or taps "Share" in the app, Google now appends a tracking identifier to the end.

          Everyone should manually remove the "si=" and succeeding characters to protect their privacy.

          The resulting clean link still works perfectly.

              Hmmm....interesting. I was wondering why the url was so much longer

                    Calguns has run flawlessly today, although user activity seems depressed compared to prior eras.

                            The forum ran amazingly for most of today but has started hitching again.

                              The site sometimes works as it should, moving crisply.

                              However, much of the time it's still the same old problems, most noticeable of which, for me, are...
                              • Pages take up to 30 seconds to "do something," where they sometimes work, sometimes I get a "Reload" button, and sometimes a time out/site can't be reached message that forces me to back up and reload whatever I had in the text entry box, then do it all again.
                              • New posts show on the Index pages, but when you get to the thread page, the new posts are nowhere to be found and Refreshing the page doesn't bring them up. It can take hours before the new posts actually appear.

                                Back to 30+ second page loads 1250

                                ... and then it switches to usable, sub-2-seconds 1254
