I hate it.

If you click off the little window it instantly wipes all your work.  If you make your post all at once it generally isn't a problem but if you're switching between windows you will click off the reply window and you will lose all your work.

Sorry to be blunt, but it's just plain horrible and broken, can we please get this fixed?  There's no good reason to have it like that.

This post was recovered using the CTRL Z method.

Yes, because that is totally obvious!  There's no reason to be snooty and use *sigh* when it's something nobody should even think of doing.

Dont' you think it's better to have something right rather than have a completely unintuitive work around?  Who here actually knows about that trick?  I would be willing to bet if you made a poll 90% of the users wouldn't know about it because why would they?

Yeah I've never heard of the CTRL Z thing.

But I must say this problem has never happened to me before.

The sigh wasn't aimed at you. It was aimed at ioi.

Twesterm, I speak on the behalf of most of VGChartz.

Stop complaining about every other thing you encounter. About 5% of your complaints have any merit.


I might just have to start a thread complaining how dtewi smells like poo...


I already started making a thread showing all of dtewi's faults but MS word ran out of pages :P



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

It's not something VGChartz can fix.  It's a lightbox thing using AJAX.

This has happened too many time for me, that's why I seldomly go into discussions with people anymore (maybe it's for the better lol), I can't stand the reply box. I mostly use the quick reply now.

Wow, I had not noticed it did that untill I tried it out just then. You can scroll within the page you were on, create new tabs, create new windows, switch to different tabs or windows without a problem. The one thing you cannot do is click on the rest of this page, but there is no reason to do that, so just don't do it.
