Youtube doing maintenance

I've Got It
This is the first time I've encountered Youtube doing maintenance.

I was able to upload videos this morning, but had an announcement saying "We are currently in read-only mode. Your upload will continue but will not go live or be editable until read-only mode is over.'

....but I could not even click on an old video and view it.

It allowed me to upload.

Now it seems my videos are there, but I have an orange triangle icon that says "This video is unavailable until the review process is complete."

I've never had that orange box before.

I'm assuming they are doing server updates.
 
I've seen YouTube do this a couple of times, while surfing YouTube I normally like videos and add comments but because it was in 'read-only' mode I couldn't. :(
 
I had that happen yesterday as well and let me tell you I was a bit worried..LOL..Though it finally monetized the episode and everything was okay. It is just that waiting..makes one nervous..not that I had anything to worry about..but you never know! LOL!
 
I'm actually surprised given the size of the site, the amount of data going around back and forth, and the vast amount of visitors they get, that they don't have more issues. It's either architected well .. or in a way they are too afraid to touch it and just let the backend do its thing :)
 
Some of my videos have gone through as okay, others I'm still waiting on.

I agree with @DawgethPlays in that for as big as they are, the issues seem to be few in comparison. Regular maintenance should be expected.
 
You can follow youtube on google+, and they usually post a week before they do maintenance. They give details like when it will be, for how long, etc.
 
Yeah, I've had that little triangle thing on one of my videos for about a week now. Nothin' to do but wait
