Nov 26, 2010 9:35:36 Lost count of how many times a post has crashed out on me, disappearing before I could submit.

No it isn't my browser that works fine all over the internet, nor my computer, nor my service nor anything else that could routinely maybe be suspect. It's this forum this site in general, which has been in 'bete' for years.

Is Wizards that strapped for cash they can't just buy decent software?

This site, you would think it being the voice of the products they sell, you would think they would actually care enough to actually get something that works.

I'm guessing they either can't afford it, or simply don't care. Might even be both.

Either way, it makes it hard for me to hold anything done on this site, as being of long term worth to tell you the truth.

Normally when I join a community and spend any amount of time there, I consider any time put in on becoming a known voice, as having some value in time. I have not yet had that happen here.
I would prefer I actually had a reason to have any real value associated with my account. But so far that has yet to occur.

Are you guys (you being Wizards of the Coast) ever planning to finish this site?

Anyway the place to gripe if you want actual results is Customer Service and try to specific as possible about the problem.

If you have a linked Twitter or Facebook, it lets you push content to them without leaving the site.

Today it happened again. I had written a post and it just vanished when I clicked submit. And that's not the only problem.

Every other site that I post on, if something goes wrong you just click the "back" button on your browser and there is the text... But not on this site...

Even the forums for my old MUD are much better from a technical viewpoint.

To be perfectly honest: I think this forum SUCKS when it comes to functionality and I'm considering just giving up on it. And I'm one of the patient types.
