What Are You Doing Right Now

I feel like SW is on a crazy posting evening. Three totally different threads with people going crazy on defending undefendable positions that make them look terrible. One, the Linux kernel thing where he just gets mad and goes to personal attacks rather than staying technical. Two, after pointing out that WGU is a scam and why, someone posts that he went there and that he felt it was a good school... but then supported the thing that made it a scam without explaining how it could not be a scam if that were true (that you get a free degree without any actual work.) And the third someone claiming that "most people think Consumer Reports and Gartner are legit" as a reason why he recommends a known scam as an IT reference point - even knowing that it would make him look like a gullible noob especially in the light of it being known, not guessed, that it was a scam. Um... what?
It's like people can't even tell when they are so desperate to be right that they can't tell when they are calling themselves idiots.

lol probably. You used to just click reply and then click the quote button, but the WYSIWYG stuff isn't there any longer.

You have to reload the page like ten times. Their site has been broken for months, like six months, and quotes almost never work.

I think the Lenovo ads broke the site.

Yeah, I thought that it was broken because of my connection in Italy and that it was just too slow for it to work. Nope, even on Gig fiber the site doesn't work.

No worries, ML is working just fine.

Maybe it is a shim of some sort.

I can't even open it in Firefox. Chrome seems to work "ok" but no edit options.

Yup, same here. If I try enough times and do the right procedure it works, but I waste a ridiculous amount of time just attempting to respond. All of the time is spent fighting the site, not actually writing anything.

Easier to just not bother.

I had to go in and directly edit the HTML to be able to quote. I had to find an old post of mine that had a working one so I could get the correct tags. They don't have markdown yet?

Not as far as I can find. I also have to hold "shift + enter" to be able to have paragraphs. The basic editor doesn't have working paragraphs.

The right side of the text box isn't even there. I have no editor until I actually reply, and then edit my reply.

I got the email that you had posted. But then clicked on it and your reply wasn't there. I can't even respond, let alone quote. The site is definitely struggling. It's Wednesday evening, doesn't seem like a peak time.

They work perfectly fine for me on Windows or Mac using Firefox.
It has never worked on mobile views.

I'm trying Firefox or Chrome. Haven't had it work smoothly in months. Maybe in December it was still okay, can't really recall. It's been brutal for some time. I can literally spend five minutes or more trying to get a working reply window. And anytime that I do about fifteen seconds later it grabs the cursor and moves it and causes me to have to correct what was being typed and reposition the cursor.

Well worked was Friday. Have not been on since I do not think.
