I got error try again YouTube comment error message yesterday.
Not so long ago, i have said in one of my posts, that i am recently use alot of videos embedding from YouTube, the biggest video sharing website on the Internet for my wordpress video tutorials.
Just like everything else, like YouTube user’s interface has been updated in more advance look. Honestly i like the old interface more, though i almost forget how it looked, since i am using YouTube with its new interface more than the old one.
There are some cool features of new YouTube, including iframe embedding code. See more on my tutorial, wordpress add video to post.
However perhaps some of you notice one small bug, which is the tiny short error message, error try again YouTube comment.
How did i get this error try again YouTube comment message.
When i checked my inbox in gmail, i notice someone leave a comment on one of my post, which is wordpress 3.0 set featured image video.
This commenter actually complained why there is no tutorial to guide to create website with wordpress.
I guess it was funny, because i am sure there are lots of tutorial for it, i even create some of those tutorials which are seperated in many posts.
I intended to reply his comment, but i was surprised by red bold font labeled, error try again YouTube message.
So i thought, the site was down or something, i decided to try “tomorrow”.
I checked everyday, and tried to do the same thing, that error message still appear.
The error message.
Error try again YouTube comment — Solution if you want to reply in YouTube comment.
This error try again YouTube comment error is actually easy to get rid of.
Never thought about this, but i guess it is because YouTube does not want to have lots of spammers links. (my post about, get rid of spam bots comments in wordpress).
The solution: DO NOT put any links in your comment, and it will be working great, and error try again YouTube tiny error will be gone.

Yes youtube don’t allow any one to post live links in comment. As this prevent spammers.
I agree, thanks for commenting.
Thank you Kimi, i am not an spammer just i want to make a bit of noise at youtube, iwas thinking that the problem was in my ISP because my comments were rejected. Now i know why.
Huh I am getting this error with ZERO links/urls in my comment … I guess there is something more to this error besides links.
Hey Mike,
My error problem was fixed that way, probably it is a good idea if you try again later.
Regards,
Kimi.
Thanks! This was very helpful!
Hi Katelyn!
Most welcome! I am glad it could help.
Thanks for leaving a comment.
Kind regards,
Kimi.

What is going on??????????????
Having this issue all of a sudden, and I have not been trying to post links. I saw a thread about this problem from last April and they said it was a known issue, but how is it possible for me to still be having this problem now?
The solutiom mention by the writer is NOT the solution for everyone. 90% of the people that reply to videos do NOT put links in their comments. Another solution is needed.
Indeed, this is not the answer every time. 90% of the time that I try to leave a comment, it gives me this message. It can’t happen this consistently to be something like “the site is currently having abnormal problems.” I never use links or any symbols. Only numbers, letters and punctuation, but I still get nothing
Had the same problem for daaaaaaaaaaays.
Then I changed my location to Worldwide (in the bottom of any page) – and the comment went through.
I changed back to my previous location just to be sure and it gave me the error. Went again back to Worldwide and it works. WTF???
I just had this problem. I tried commenting on other videos, and then other videos from the same channel. I could comment on anything but that one video. Then when I tried to figure out what was wrong, a lot of people were saying that YouTube tried to prevent spam by stopping comments including URLs. So I looked at the comment I was trying to post. There weren’t any URLs. But I did say “Sub4Sub”. So, I tried a bunch of renditions of it; i.e., “Sub 4 Sub”, “Sub-4-Sub”, etc. The comment still wasn’t going through. I finally removed that part of my comment, and voila!, comment posted.
It’s annoying because I was talking about Sub4Subbing, not actually doing it. God, I hate it when spammers actually limit what I can say in a comment. It feels vaguely like censorship.
I wanted to put a comment in with my website
eqi.org
I tried a lot of things and learned that…
1. you cant have www followed by a space or a dot
So I could not put www eqi.org
or www eqi dot org
But you can have
wwwdoteqidotorg
and you can have
eqi.org
You can also have bad words like f*ck, c*nt etc :)
Crazy and f*cking annoying eh?
Try it yourself and email me please to let me know…
eqimail at yahoo.com
I tried a link to an online article and it said “error try again”. So, I deleted the http://www. and that worked fine.
Ive been playing around more and tried the sub4sub thing…
It didnt work on mine either…
I tried
sub4su and thats ok
but sub4sub isnt
i tried subforsub NO
but subfoursub YES
go figure
they are obviously checking certain unwanted strings of characters
my question is why dont they just list the forbidden strings so we dont have to waste our time????!!!!
Its because youtube is owned by google who is totally contradicting their “bait and switch” motto “do no evil” and they are censoring comments. I’m stuck now trying to post a legitimate comment which is getting this error. There’s something in this 4 sentence comment and can’t figure out what it is… very annoying that they get away with this crap.
I just had that error with the string “”. I took out the “” then it was fine. I wish the error message was at least “invalid characters” or something that remotely tells you what the problem is. I am so surprised at the lack of quality from such a big company. That’s just lazy, sloppy programming, period.
Thanks, didn’t know that was what prevented me from commenting.
My error message was fixed, thanks. I just got rid of a link and I could now leave a comment successfully. Thanks, from Italy!
I find that just swearing at youtube at the end of your message for blocking your comment usually works.
PS: Does anyone get the irony of that checkbox down there? Oh lord.
I found that if I had $$$ in my post it would say… error. try again. I removed the $$$ and replaced with the word dollars and the comment posted fine. I concur that this is indeed sloppy programming and very poor support on Googles part.
Thank god for this website otherwise I’d still be waiting for a fix from google with no idea what was going on!!
Yet a another hint here :
I had the same problem because the symbol ” ” because I was replying to someone. I don’t know if it is because both ” > ” and ” < " were there.
OK, I am posting again because the symbol got stripped by the blog in my previous post.
xD
The symbol is Less than (<).
