Buggy POS

abarker

How bad is it that in 24 hours, we've had 2 people attempt to rejoin the forum, and both got deterred, at least in part, by the buggy POS that is called Discourse? How is it that a "next-gen" forum platform has significant bugs, that go so far as making the site unreadable, in version 1.2? Does anyone foresee getting anything more than a bunch of WTFs out of this ?

I'm just assuming this post will make it to.... anywhere.
Dropped in to the forums, thinking "hey, maybe today will be the day I'll reconsier and rejoin".
This is what i se:

That's 0.75PX font. So is the wysiwyg window, so forgive any typos. I'm basically typing blind here.
So rejoin... nope. Turn right around and head back out. Bye.
Also I think I need to select something from the right drop down list, but there's nt.... nothing in there..... "elem.dispatchEvent is not a function"
So we're at two bugs? three bugs? typing to make a post.
I ha... may have to load this shit in a different browsers.... browser. Holy fuck.

bye

I want to get back into this forum but Jesus fuck. Most threads have no fewer than two hundred unread posts and many are upwards of a thousand.

Oh. and you guys are still finding Discourse bugs? What a surprise.

I'm not convinced that they decided to rejoin today, I bet they've been lurking, and chose this issue to call out the DiscoDevs.

buambulance? perhaps you mean "wah-mbulance"?

In any case, I created this topic as an attempt to bring together similar conversations I'm having in multiple threads. Still waiting to see how it works.

If it worked it would create a big topic again. Something @error disliked about this forum. And you even quote him on that in the first post....

Filed Under: That would be very rude

It's not that he disliked the big topics. It's that he disliked being behind on them. In any case, he'd still have the same number of posts to read.

It'll work about as well as Discourse.

Apparently. Though my Petition seems to be attracting a lot of attention.

I can finally open this topic now I'm not on the newly buggered mobile.
Yeah, maybe it does only load half of the amount of whatever as previously, but what it does load only actually loads about 20% of the time so... well done on that improvement.
