I just found a new feature since the update



this new system has great potential for abuse.

too many tags = page breaker in IE but wraps in Firefox

Which is most likely the incorrect way of rendering the tag or perhaps you have some wrap setting on?


For that matter...In general whining about brave new Jolt forum:
Why didn't they put 'view last page' functionality in ie. when you click the thread you see, for example, 20 last posts of the thread?

This way page breaks wouldn't be so damn annoying. :(

dunno but to be clearer - I was talking about on the main general page rather than in the thread, where it wraps for both

These tags are disgustingly childish. I want to know what idiot moron administrator at Jolt thought this was a good idea.

"Hey I know! Let's provide a way for people to act even more like imbecilic little children than they already do and destroy the one good place for debate on our forums!" :headbang:

Especially as you can't attach the tags to a poster :D

Anonymous spam, just the way we like it!

And another example why my idea of view last page of posts would be so much better....

I thought you meant that you could leave tags on a posters profile - damn that would have really been interesting to see those results.

Way to big a time frame. It took them I think an hour!

I can only imagine the chaos that was happening on the other forums here...that vast wasteland of forums that accompanies us...

I don't think the mods could've removed it in the first place. At least, they often disavow any administrative/technical powers.
