Re: YouTube Now Hosts Your Channel Background Image

HappyCabbie

Timmy there is a glitch with new accounts I have noticed.  I recently
uploaded a tutorial on how to do this and many new channels are having
errors when they try to do this.  One guy even gave me his password
and I went into his channel and I could not for the love of me upload
a background.  I couln't even upload my background to his channel.

For some reason this is only for new accounts, can you find the glitch
and fix it?
