You suck.
Stop trying to pretend you don't. The level of suck that is here is so amazing that the fact that your authors try to deny it by asking for specifics as if they aren't so painfully obvious is absolutely insulting to your users.
1) You are unusable on an iPhone. Trying to scroll through any discussion with more than a handful of replies freezes the browser.
2) You don't allow recommends about 80 percent of the time
3) What the fuck is up with the lowercase letter at the beginning of a post?
4) How are conversations supposed to occur when every response is a new thread where nobody but the two people involved can see it?
5) I would type more, but there is literally a 2 second delay between my keystroke and a letter appearing on screen. Sometimes it just locks up outright for 10-20 seconds then starts up again.

Related to #1 - I'm starting to have that issue on all browsers, mobile and desktop

I'm having all the same issues. Lots of issues on Desktop also. I can't even use Mobile half the time. It wouldn't let me comment, or recommend for a while, then it mixed up the notifications and the "Reccomended" section.

Sometimes when I click the star button it drops down a reply box. No kinja, I don't want to reply, I just want to star this comment.

That just makes me appreciate the recommends that I do get even more, because I understand how hard it is to do under Nick Denton's Naked Emperor system. I know the folks that depend on the Gawker Empire for a living can't really speak out because they need a cut of the money that funnels offshore and through his tax shelters and coke parties, but shit I feel for them. Even Max Read and that commie Nolan. This platform is crap.

Yup. Or pressing enter and it doesn't actually go to the next line until you start typing, or the ridiculous textbox handles around the text box, but aren't actually the text box, or the nerfed formatting options, or the COMPLETELY unusable picture inserting that half the time leaves you unable to type anymore. I plan on screencasting everything that's wrong with Kinja in humorous totally-not-copying-regularcars style (to be fair, everyone I show that to says that he acts exactly like me on a day-to-day basis, so I'm suing Mr. Regular).

Heh, you think it's bad trying to type a reply on an iPhone, try a Windows Phone...

I agree so hard
I love jalopnik but I was always gray here and I comment much more on gawker
usually I'd get stars and replies and participate in posts. now I reply and it just disappears. got used to getting the red indicator when I'd come back to a gawker site.. not anymore. new kinja makes participation harder and unfulfilling. seems counter-productive. *hiss*

Hmmm. I can see that you feel strongly about this, but can you explain specifically what the problem actually is?

Precisely. I generally don't bother to comment on anything on the FP any longer...anything I write just vanishes in the morass of gibberish threaded comments. And somehow Kinja chooses ONE to highlight...thru some arcane and inscrutable algorithm it chooses. It's simply not worth the effort to participate.
