You typed the characters so fast the forums didn't even recognize it

That's sad. Turns out we have no reason to wait 91 years anymore

EDIT: Shade is so fast

I just realised something else, I cant quote blogs anymore. Cant quote the blog or the reply. I tried to quote ur post nate (because I cant read the small text so I quote to it gets bigger) and theres no quote button.

I remember there being one...

Nepsotic 03-15-2015 02:10 AM

You're just too fast. You're there on the page before the buttons have even loaded.

Varrok 03-15-2015 02:54 AM

You're there on the page before the buttons actually existed

Nepsotic 03-15-2015 03:48 AM

He's on the page before anything existed...

Really? I see people quoting all the time.

Nepsotic 03-15-2015 07:35 AM

Ignore Manco, he's just fucking with you.

Varrok 03-15-2015 09:18 AM

Manco. Such a... jokester.

We're manually copy-pasting and then clicking the quote icon button (http://www.oddworldforums.net/images/editor/quote.gif).

Varrok 03-15-2015 10:45 AM

and puting it manually in quote tags*

Damn, cant do that. No way to highlight text unless ur in a text box.

Job McYossie 03-15-2015 12:02 PM

you can also do it by starting the quote with "[ quote ]" then the text then "[ /quote ]" but do not put any spaces in the brackets

Shade667 03-15-2015 07:26 PM

Double post: Okay, so, thanks nep. U replied "k" to the latest blog. If u can type k, why cnat a type 4 letters? Is there some setting ive switched off by accident or something.

The problem is that you're using a nonstandard, unsupported browser.

Every other forum works fine, why is this one a piece of shit?

Phylum 03-15-2015 08:38 PM

It could be an age thing - the forum software is from 04 and the blog system specifically might use something your browser doesn't support, because it's no longer relevant like it used to be.

Calling it a piece of shit isn't exactly fair when you're the one in the nonstandard browser. Browsers do a lot to support developers, and developers do a lot to support browsers. When you throw anything that isn't Firefox, Chrome, Safari or IE11+ into the mix you will get unexpected results.

Shade667 03-16-2015 05:53 AM

But ive typed replies in the past that werent long, im sure of it.

Job McYossie 03-16-2015 07:26 AM

"I want this thing to work"
"It wont work with your tools"
"But I waaaaant it"

This forum is fine, I've seen a lot of places filled to the brim with dead links, backgrounds that break if you're using anything but 16:9, and ones that just wont even let you reply. In this case the reason things are not working for you is because of the tools you're using; it seems incredibly unfair to say the forum is shit just because you're trying to use shit tools.

Nepsotic 03-16-2015 07:31 AM

TAS forum browsing.

Shade667 03-16-2015 07:43 PM

Stop dwelling on the forum is shit thing, that was a comment made at 1 am.

I was tired and pissed off at the forum not working while typing from my vita. I hate typing on touchscreens.

Abeguy 03-16-2015 08:08 PM

I have an app that allows me to read the forum content in a css-free, data only viewing. It takes up barely any data, which is nice, cuz I kicked meself in the bum this month in regards to data.
Of course I don't get any sort of blogs on that, so I don't even know where I was going with this...

Shade667 03-18-2015 09:40 PM

So I finally read what the error message was and it tells me to write at least 1 character. What is classified as a character?

Varrok 03-18-2015 09:48 PM

Basically everything that's not a quote or just an image. Maybe even an image, I dunno.

Phylum 03-18-2015 09:52 PM

If it's not in tags, or inside certain tag-pairs, it's a character. Tags are anything in angle braces (HTML style tags), or certain BBcode tags in square braces.
