OKay, so apparently not fixed. Now when I "log" into youtube it takes me to the same page without logging in. If i click on "upload", it loops between a blank page and the original page. What is up with youtube and are there any alternatives out there people are using?
Edit/Update: So if I log out of all google sites and then access password reset feature on Youtube, I get redirected to an Authorization Error Page. As much as I despise using alternate browsers, I can get in through firefox, so likely it is a security setting on my side.
