    Hi John,

    It looks like YouTube might be blocked by one of your custom filters. Go to AdBlock button > Options > Customize > Manually edit your filters, click Edit, and delete the following line from the large text box:

    www.youtube.com##DIV[id="body-container"]
    

    Finally, click Save, and try opening YouTube again.

    I went to adblock, then Options then edit filters . . . . . it shows no filters active (no filters listed therefore nothing to edit)
     Regards JohnC
