    Sorry if this page belongs somewhere else, if it needs to be moved, I'm alright with that.

    For some reason, Youtube won't take me to the sign in page. I go to Youtube, click "Sign In" and it reloads the page and takes me back to the opening page. I've tried to sign in other ways, I went to my channel and clicked "Subscribe" hoping it would take me to a "You must be logged in to perform this action" or something like that, but it just reloaded the page and took me back to my channel.

    Sorry I'm such a noob, but what do I do to get back on my channel?

    After "Redirecting" for at least five minutes, it's still loading.

    Try going to Google's site and sign in from there. It's the same account. See if that works.

    It's doing the same thing Makaze's link is doing. "Redirecting" and loading.

    This has happened to me before, on my family computer. I wasn't able to log on for months, and I just figured it was an issue with the PC, 'cause it's pretty old and it does stuff like that all the time.

    I didn't bother about it, because while it was annoying, the only things I ever wanted to upload were KH videos. Now, however, I'm supposed to upload a vid of myself chugging soda as part of a dare, and it's happening again, this time on my laptop.

    Alright, I'm going to assume you're using FireFox. If not, let me know.

    Thanks, I got it working again. Using what you told me, I went to my Windows Help and Support and figured out from there how to remove cookies, and now I'm signed in no problem. lol, thanks for your help, I never would have figured out it was a problem with cookies.

    It is probably a bug in IE. If you have an extra toolbar installed, such as Yahoo! toolbar or other, it may conflict with various settings and cause problems like this (in my experience). I highly suggest downloading and installing Firefox and/or Google Chrome as soon as you can.
