SolyWack 482 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 (edited) This might be better in the suggestions area, do whatever you think would be best, or delete it if you don't want to get rekt m80. Just remember I haven't gotten a warning yet, so go easy. Warning: Rant Imminent I just came from fimfiction and let me say. It is 10,000,000,000,000,000x better than this sites interface. On mlp forums its like im playing on a Gamecube without a controller plugged in. It sucks shit. Why? -I cant copy or paste anything without going into BBcode mode. -I cant link anything. I press the hyperlink button and it takes me to fucking Narnia. What is all this? Just put a url box and a "text to put in its place box" like fimfiction does. Not only is it confusing, but it completely locks my entire browser. I press it and no buttons work anymore. I cant press x on the dialog box, nor can I press down arrows or type in the box. I have to completely close the browser and hope and pray that the the thing autosaved -But, you know, It auto saves every other century. Ill type something and itll autosave and maybe ten minutes later itll autosave again. So if I press that dialogue hypelink button and come back ill have the first sentence. Thank fucking god for that. I could never type that first sentence again. But its okay, ill just copy every once and awhile, oh wait, I cant do that EITHER. -The emojies are a chore to get to, I already have a job, that pays me nonetheless. I can press the arrow and its like im loading up a 5 mb image. Just make it a drop down box, LIKE FIMFICTION. -I cant quote anything, I press the quote button and it just brings me right down to an empty reply box. Great, fantastic, gotta go to bbcode again just to quote then go right back. -The font button doesn't work at all. Ill highlight text and press the font I want, and it does nothing. it just brings me to the top of the page, same thing with the color font. That's a thing right? Mabye, ill never get to use it. But oh boy, if I want to get to the top of the page really fast, I know what to press. -OH LOOK AT THAT, I clicked add an image. BUT TO MY SUPRISE, you cant do that shit either. Same thing with the video, brings me to a box that locks the entire browser. Good thing I was typing for so long, it just autosaved. I wonder If I go outside ill see flying cars. -Id rather press a button, and a steaming pile of horse shit shot out of my computer. At least id know something works other than basic typing. ANY OF YOU, go to fimfiction and check out their interface, its so smooth and works so well. If im the only one having these problems, that's just great. Just goddamn fantastic. I love the brony community, I love the people on the site. I VILIFY THIS INTERFACE. I just needed to vent. *sigh* Rant over.

Chronicleer 31 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 What browser are you using, and is it updated? I can not say I am experiencing even half of these problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfectedPone 1,550 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 I don't experience most of these problems either. As said above, you might be using an outdated browser or have some other problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolyWack 482 July 6, 2015 Author Share July 6, 2015 I am using IE 11, fully up to date. But i did go to the tech support and it seems IE has issues with this site. Whatever i guess complaining wont fix it. Ill live i guess with just text and emojies, but its still pretty annoying i cant hyperlink anything and have to go to BBcode mode for everything else. This most certainly needs to figured out, but i wont let it stop me from enjoying the fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sectus 246 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Internet Explorer. There's your problem. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discordian 6,015 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Lrn2BBCode. In all seriousness, why still use such an outdated browser? There's little reason to use it and getting any other browser is a click away. You can carry over bookmarks very easily and most settings and plugins aren't hard to find. You may ask yourself why people are hounding you about it but most of us have gone through the growing pains of using browsers like that and know better. We just want you to see MLPForums (and the rest of the internet) as the Atlantis it is instead of the homeless shelter you probably see with IE. Point in case: You are having a bunch of problems that literally do not exist in everyone else's browsers because you are using a shitty browser that doesn't use half of the technology this website and much of the internet do. Your internet experience must be pretty bad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internet Explorer is the default browser for most, if not all, Windows installations. These days they also come with Firefox at least but you can't really uninstall it either, I don't think, as programs like Skype run direction through IE.
