This forum is so badly programmed it's unbearable - Monday, August 27, 2007 11:43 PM ( #1 )
Just wow. I knew ASP was not a good language but my god. There are so many problems with the forum software.

1. Pages constantly refreshing but the page not changing. This seems to happen when you press and back/forward on your browser. Happens in both FireFox and Opera. Not sure about IE.
2. Inability to post when getting an error message. You must refresh page. This happens primarily when you post a message and the flood control kicks in. When pressing "go back" the post button will not function.
3. Textareas occasionally 'whited' out. I've not taken a look at the code but it seems the text boxes are JS controlled DIVs or TDs. Happens randomly.

Never had issues so I can't agree.  I use Firefox all the time here without complaints.

I've had that happen a few times.  Normally in FireFox and I'm never sure why.  It doesn't happen that much and I cannot reproduce it.

Yeah, some of us like non-crap browsers. IE is the absolute worst browser ever.

In any case, I can duplicate it fairly easily. Go to a topic with multiple pages. Go on any page. Then go on any page except the first. Click "Post Reply". Keep it open or close it (the window) and press the back button on the window viewing the topic. That'll recreate it.

Ive used this forum site in over 7 computers including a macintosh also I have tried all the browsers like IE and firefox
 
Everything works perfect, the one problem on all the computers i have used is once I post a topic it asks to quit the browser you have to click cancel and refresh onto the homepage to fix the problem.
