Update On Issue With Subscriptions Delay On Homepage

YouTube Timmy

Hi guys,

Just wanted give everyone a heads up - we have an update for you on
the recent issue with the Subscriptions module on the Homepage.

We recently updated our subscription system to help reduce latency and
server load. There were some early bugs that we worked quickly to fix
-- for example, users who uploaded private videos (and flipped them
public later) were not getting shown in the subscription box on the
home page; this has been fixed.

One thing to note, however, about the new system is that it could take
a few minutes for videos to show up on every subscriber's home page
(worst case should be up to an hour). We are still working to shorten
this processing time for the worst-case scenarios.

Best,
- Timmy

P.S. "Current Issues" page has also been updated with this same info:
