What is wrong with Kinja?

I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my browser, or if Kinja is just getting worse by the day. As of current, here are the Kinja problems I experience:

1. Oppo/GT posts randomly disappear (I often have to reload my browser once or twice before I get them back). Some of these posts may have been deleted, though.

2. Clicking on the "Recommend" star doesn't up the Recommend count on screen unless I reload the page a few times.

3. There's no longer a check mark next to anyone I follow. If I go onto their page, it shows that I'm not following them. However, on my Kinja settings it shows that I am following them. Periodically through the day, I might see a check next to their name, but 90% of the time there isn't anything there.

I'm using Chrome (Windoze computers) and Safari (Apple devices).

Am I crazy or is Kinja just being Kinja. Picture of an epic EMD F40C for your time.

P.S. Thank you much to Havoc! Better to dismiss than to begin a futile argument on a year old comment. And agreed, I didn't make a good example.

It's Kinja, though I can't even Kinja with Chrome anymore.

I had to stop using Chrome because of Kinja.

Tag your post 'Kinja Help' and the technical team should see this and add it to their already long list of stuff to fix.

I'm using Internet Explorer on my computers and phones (and "Spartan" on my two computers running Windows 10 Technical Preview) and the only issue I'm aware of having are with object placement, that is, clicking on something isn't correctly recognized, e.g. clicking directly on a Recommend star clicks somewhere near by it, unless I zoom in to where the star is the largest object on the screen, and making sure the edges look clear, not blurry, indicating Kinja has fully loaded the object. This even happens (but less frequently) with a mouse and keyboard and/or my Wacom setup, and mostly happens on the touch screens. It's not an issue with the touch screens, as I can use Photoshop or other pinpoint activities with ease and accuracy, just with Kinja. Other browsers have had the same and/or other issues, so I stick with IE and "Spartan".

Hey - this is all weird stuff - if you're running any plug-ins/ extensions, I recommend turning them all off, (all the way- don't just make allowances), restart your browser and then try again. If you're still having trouble, email us at Help@gawker.com for further troubleshooting.

Oddly I recognize exactly where that picture of an epic EMD F40C was taken. I believe that is the area of track that feeds right into Chicago's Union Station.

they seem to be constantly tweaking stuff. I've noticed about half of the things you list.

So we have to leave our systems wide open to attack in order to reply?
