Monetization options disappeared.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one having this issue because we all know how YT like to add these crazy updates that can mess with things, but my option to monetize a video in the Video Manager has disappeared, it's also gone from the metadata editing for each video. My monetization in the Channel Settings Panel is lit up green, and looking into my Monetization Settings it tells me my account is enabled, and that I should be able alter the settings both through tick-boxing and via the metadata. I have no strikes, and a clean adsense account.

It's worth nothing that all but 3 of my videos are without advertising. I'd rather keep the ads off for now and treat YT as a hobby, I just like to have the feature available. So now I'm wondering wether it's purely because I haven't been using it, or wether something's just gone wrong somewhere.

Is anyone else having this issue?
 
Same thing happened to me yesterday .. first upload was fine then it goofed up. Still in good standing, monetized is good but my new uploads lost the monetize tab and button .. I also lost a green light on my main dashboard for external annotations but it's still green in the advanced area but I can't link to my official website so somethings not working .. hoping they fix it all quick.

Yeah no such luck here either, kinda sucks. I'm still waiting on my thumbnails to come through so I'm sort of hoping it's linked. Guidelines say it's around 30 days now, I've got all my thumbnails ready ¬.¬
 
I have read people saying "give it 48 hours", if nothing happens within the 48 hours contact youtube

Hmm, mine's been going on for close to a week now =/ Is there even a way to contact YouTube beyond that Google forum run by a handful of mods?

Wow a week? I got this problem 2 days ago..I honestly don't really know how to contact them, there are some conspiracies saying that this is a bug/glitch that "came along" with the new channel layout. We'll just have to wait and see, I hope they fix this
