I've kept my mouth shut until now.

I officially hate Tiger.

I was posting from work, which I don't usually do, but I had something I was thinking of and didn't want to wait til I got home. I was rather unhappy at the way Tiger/Kinja was running (I use Dolphin on a Samsung Galaxy S III), and I was using both Tiger, and ?tiger=off, it didn't matter. I get the post finished, and it wouldn't let me post a picture. I tried to edit, and the only way I could type in the edit was if I switched to HTML.

So I went to change it now that I'm home. I use Chrome and IE, although I use Chrome primarily. I went to edit the post with pictures, and it won't load pictures from my PC. I had to upload the photos to Photobucket, and then link them. Once I linked them, the photo page remains up, and I have to press escape for it to leave. Some days, I have to use the HTML option just to locate a picture where I want it to, but today seemed a little better.

This is bullshit. I can see why people are leaving. As many else have said, this is the exactly why I left Jalopnik to come here. I'd really prefer not to leave, but if I can't post, what's the point? I already see that several of the people I respond to have left.

Gawker, man up and admit failure. Bring Kinja back. Tiger blows, and you're going to lose out in the long run.

I wish we could all migrate to an alternative oppositelock forum elsewhere. Blah.

Me, after arriving home from work, and about what I think of Tiger:

Oh, yeah. If I want to reply to something, I have to right click on "reply" and open it in a new window, otherwise, nothing will happen. Yet another FAIL for Tiger.

Why do popular sites have to change their designs every few months? First YouTube, and now every Gawker site.

I am sure they will work out the teething issues. We got the same onslaught of complaints when the switch to kinja was made.

Tiger=off has stopped working at all for me. I think I'm done with Gawker, or at least done with the comment system, which is essentially the same thing.

Yeah, but how many of the core group left because they couldn't see/post from Kinja? It sucked, along with it's changes, but this really takes the cake. I'll stick around until I can't see/post... It's close, but I can usually work around things until I get what I want across, but it's a royal pain in the ass.

Holy Shit! Thanks for the workaround. For the last 2 days any time I try to post anything, the bar starts jumping and freezes IE11 completely and I have to close the entire browser. IE sucks, but it's my only option at work, and I don't want to pull out the phone every time wittiness strikes.

I appreciate this post sir!

No problem. If I find any other fixes, I'll be sure to post them.
