Yes, it is quite unfortunate. It seems to be malfunctioning much (if not most) of the time.

The worst part is that it seems to get worse every time the gawker tech crew supposedly "improves it" or "fixes it".

I'm suspecting lousy or non-existent bug tracking and/or revision control, possibly paired with a lot of outsourced consultancy. It would seem a lot of different people are working in this project, but no one is really finishing it, or even taking care of it.

I could be wrong.

I think you've got it pretty much spot on. AND I think we should shut up now, so Nibbles wont drag us into whatever abyss he's living in, even though For Sweden managed to escape Nibbles I can't see that happen more than once..

Yeah, I didn't recognize your name man/woman/thing :) Welcome to our humble abode. And don't be afraid, Travis, Raph and Matt will always protect us, unless you're acting like a complete and utter arse that is. And if they don't protect us, there's always Gamecat and $kaycog..

I'm a pie, and therefore asexual. However, i am disguised as a 30 yr old pudgy male.

It is good to know i am protected. Thank you Mr. Laird.

That'd be Mr. Mcbratlie or Mr. Andy :) Laird is a title, it's actually scottish fer Lord ;) But friends call me Andy or Anders (my real name), and we are all friends here, so you can call me whatever you'd like.

(No I'm not a proper lord, I just own a tiny piece of land in Scotland, hence the Laird thingy in front of my name)

Knowledge accepted. My friends call me asshole, but you may call me Kevin :-)

Scotland is beautiful. I live in Belgium. Belgium comes in many shades of grey, but mostly grey grey.

You probably didn't have to reinstall your browser. We were having some issues earlier today that caused logging out and 401s in private view. Clearing your cache and restarting the browser probably should've done the trick.

If you're having this type of difficulty in the future, instead of jumping to extremes send us an email and we should be able to help you out or give you some info if there's an widespread issue.

Oh, ehh. I'm not from Scotland, I'm Norwegian :) But Scotland IS rather pretty. Belgium you say (nastiest world in the universe if you've ever read hitchhikers guide to the galaxy). But since you're from Belgium.. Sprechen Sie Deutsch? or Heb je nederlands spreekt? (not sure if that's correct in Flemish(Vlaams). or is it.. Parlez-vous français?

lepie > Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh

Ich verstehn ein bitchen deutsch, aber sehr schlecht. Ik spreek uiteraard nederlands, et je parle aussi francais, bien entendu.

Norway is very pretty. It is a place i would like to spend some time one day.

The reason I and I guess most of us do this in public is to find out if anyone else have the same problems. We're not really having a go at you personally per se..

As for reinstalling my browser, that's not really an issue, I've got my system set up so that it takes a backup every our :)

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > lepie
10/24/2013 at 15:27

I can't write that much in either French, Dutch or German I'm afraid.. I can read it, but not write. But yeah, you should visit Norway some time, we've got a lot of people from belgium, germany and holland (sorry, netherlands) One of me best mates is belgian..

I totally get it, and I think it's a fine idea! But sometimes I'm inundated and can't respond for a bit, and I don't what you all to think you're being left high and dry. For instant gratification, emailing us is the best way, so if I'm slammed one of the Steves can help you out.

Your best friend is Belgian? My condolences. LOL. Yeah, a lot of us Belgians wish to leave this place. What's the economy like in ol' Norway? I'm afraid i'd just get in a lot of trouble there, though. With the speeding tickets and all.

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > Ernie @ Kinja
10/24/2013 at 15:31

You know what, I'll send you guys an e-mail every time something new works :) how does that sound? :)

HA, deal!

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > lepie
10/24/2013 at 15:36

ONE of me best mates, not me best mate :P But yeah, I've got friends from Belgium, Germany, England, Poland, Spain and Texas :P The economy in Norway is very good, I've got a friend from germany who's actually an engineer by trade.. he's driving a Taxi here in Norway and earns more money on that than he'd have done as an engineer back in Cologne :P Our unemployment rate is less than 4%.

All very tempting, but i'd end up in jail because of the traffic laws.

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > lepie
10/24/2013 at 15:45

I've been driving for 13 years up here (five of them in a semi), never had a ticket.

lepie > Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh
10/24/2013 at 15:46

Yeah, but have you done more than .5 km over the speed limit? lol

I have been thinking about Norway for quite a while. It seems like a very beautiful place. Almost too good to be true.

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > lepie
10/24/2013 at 15:47

if you drive in a "nice" manner when there's traffic around there's never any problem... and yeah.. I've hit 240Km/h on norwegian roads... so :P

lepie > Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh
10/24/2013 at 15:48

You have convinced me. When can i move in?

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > lepie
10/24/2013 at 15:50

Whenever :P Just make sure you've got a job FIRST... hehe... much easier to find a place to live then :P

lepie > Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh
10/24/2013 at 15:50

I'm self employed. I could just look for some contracts there and bill them.

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > lepie
10/24/2013 at 15:52

That could work. We're always happy to see new people here :)

lepie > Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh
10/24/2013 at 15:54

Well, Lord Andy ... Thank you for getting me to think about this. That could work, indeed!
