Under where you sign in click "skip for now" it will let you access your account. Tonight was the first time I had to do this.

No google account
But I have noticed the guie as changed slightly. The youtube home link has been changed slightly.
Is it still down for you?

still jacked up for me... no "skip for now" option available.

this what i get... note the "you will no longer be able to sign in without a google account" line:

i guess i'm being petty... but that's ****in retarded. i HAVE an account, have had for years, and now they've locked me out of my own shit unless i submit to their will?

Well I have a youtube account but I never log in to it. [Hell I don't even remember the password anymore?]. Is it only doing it when you try to log in your account?
