    Probably because the forums were down. All the obsessive complainers aren't back yet... give it a week
  2. When someone says Room 101, I think of the TV show
  3. People still use IE... are they masochists?

    Yeah, I never got that...
  7. ProcessedMeatMan still has the most offensive forum avatar without any Mods realising it

    Yeah, but they'll say the same with anything, if it's not post count, it's Reg date, if it's not Reg date, it's you avatar, if it's not your avatar it's you signature, if it's not your sig it's your forum name...

    Morons are morons no matter what limits you try to put on them

    Every forum has its juvenile moments. Or arguments that sees different sides spray bile at each other in multiple ways.

    Get rid of the rep meters. That way lies madness. That way lies... Sparta.
    I've never seen any arguments over post counts here...

    If you thought I was talking about the Rep meters... then yes, indeed they will cause problems... popularity contests always end in tears...

    Um, when?

    Also, they better not take my post count! I'm only 4,000 away from Cuppa Incarnate!

    I can understand on juvenile forums, but I see no reason to disable them on ours.

    Aside from that they seem fine and they are much faster than before so thats great news.
    Odd, I'm on Firefox...
  13. Having read the whole of yours post... everything you say is wrong... absolutally everything, not a single thing is true or without error...

    1: Cryptic?

    2: Don't call them lazy, it invalidates anything you say because it's total bull ****.

    But more seriously, I liked the old arrangement of subforums, and didn't see any real need to change those.
    Click on the "English" at the top and you'll get the traditional Sub forum view.

    You're... missing the point.

    What I mean is, on the old forums, the Quick Reply box was "always on" and you could just type want you wanted, hit send and that was it... now you have to click a "quick reply" button to reply to a specific user, rather than to the thread in general...

    The net result is identical, except we now have to click a button, when before we didn't. I'm just saying it feels a bit redundant.
  17. A couple of things. Do we really need to click a "Quick Reply" button to quick reply?

    Additionally, the Quick Reply box isn't automatically spell checked by Firefox, gotta turn it on manually. Any way to fix this?

    Edit: Oh and the "go to the first new post" button only seems to work if it wants to

  19. I actually checked some CoH twitter pages, refreshing them every 15 minutes to see if the forums were back up.

    Yes, I'm sad...
