In Response to Re: Pop ups killing the forum experience : that sounds like an improvement! Posted by beaneh
ffs maybe not.
it's just come up about 20 times trying to put in my last post.
now though it seems like i'm still in control of the text input area to make a post, if I can click post ima be happy if not farking sigh (it seems as though now I have enough control to copy paste the text before doing anything rather than lose it, so deffo seems like some kind of improvement). still ridiculous that you cant get rid of them. fwiw once you move the cursor out of the text area like you've tried to click submit on the post or close on the message you then lose all control and go back to the having to lose everything.
so if whilst writing a post that message comes up, don't click it, keep the focus of the cursor in the text area, control A, control C. then refresh the page, wait till it stops re popping up then control v what you had typed back into the input box.
earlier it was the 8pm main event message and now its the 8.55 late reg main event message that wont dissapear or stop popping up.
I get the pop-up. I click close. It goes away and doesn't come back. I continue with my pointless forum spamming... I don't know what you guys are doing differently. Posted by BorinLoner
the pop up wont go when you click close. and you cant do anything bar refresh the page to clear it. if you refresh then it comes back up until it reaches it's time limit of 3 minutes or w/e the message stays up for. tis pretty ridic.
It's a popup that you can't close and it blocks everything and won't allow you to copy and paste what youv'e written and the only way out is to refresh and lose everything you've written.

On a similar topic, the site decides to time you out, but doesn't tell you until you click Add Post, by which point it tells you you've timed out but has deleted your entire post.
If you're using Firefox to browse the site go grab yourself a plugin/add-on named Lazarus, it's an awesome form recovery tool, so if a site stops working, your browser crashes or anything else then you can simply right click the form and recover what you already typed out :-)
Yeah you must be one of the lucky ones Borin.

Same for me . Not sure why this should be for some and not others. I have used both IE and firefox so I dont think its the browsers.
