Yeah I think the problem is on YouTube's end because this new display glitch
started recently when YouTube changed (yet again). I had been getting the
CompatView button, but only turned it "On" when I saw that the "HD" logo was
missing much of the lowe half, which fixed it, but then broke the Channel's
options.

PS BTW, the "Uploads," "Favorites," and "Playlists" options only appear
below the main header on my Channel. On other Channels, said options appear
in their proper place.
