    One reason why I preferred this site over KTT was because of the way that replies worked. I just couldn't deal with refreshing the page every time someone posted. Honestly refreshing the page is more annoying than those other 2 bugs, the bug with 5 posts can be avoided as well by just refreshing the page, thats what I did anyway.

    I have fast internet connection but refreshing the page every single post is still annoying af.

    Oh yea it's definitely annoying but it's not like it takes too much longer than the posts only loading when you click the button, you can still participate in the convo. Also when other people have to refresh and it might take a while it slows down the posting a bit so everyone else keeps up too if you know what i mean

    I actually feel like refreshing the page is slower, refreshing the page means you have to rely on your internet speed and browser speed.

    This is actually pretty s---, I don't know why slowing down the rate at which people can post is a good idea.

    The old system was just so much better and I actually never seen anyone complain about it, those bugs are hardly even worth mentioning

    Also with this new system if you are writing to post and you press the "show new replies" button sometimes you draft does not save everything. So now you have to remember to press save every time you press "show replies"

    Yes, it is a bit slower. But is it so slow that you can't really keep up with other posts? I really don't think so, unless it's some new Kanye/Eminem album or something where the activity is too fast anyway so the thread is live.

    Yes i agree, the old system is better, i don't think the bugs were that big of a deal at all, idk if there were more problems we don't know about. But it's not like this one is completely unusable and ruins posting because it's too slow, it just takes a while to get used to.

    But yeah it's pretty clear people prefer the old way

    Point im trying to make

    New system is slower than the old system
    New system is annoying

    Old system may have had some bugs but the bugs are barely even worth mentioning and beats refreshing the page for 1 post.

    I'll take the bugs over this a--- refresh to see 1 post KTT system any day of the week

    This new system is just unnecessary

    No, I mean if you are writing a post and whilst still writing you press the button that refreshes the page - what you are writing might not fully save.

    Yes, and i am completely agreeing with all of these points. What i originally was talking about is that it's not a big deal to keep up with the conversation on the new system unless you have a s-----y connection.

    Yes. I did not disagree with you're second point either :D i have done that numerous times as well, but when i tried to not click the new replies button and just finish my own post instead i noticed that it loads the posts WITHOUT refreshing, because it doesn't refresh when you post your own post afair

    I haven't been on section eighty on my phone but I can imagine that refreshing on the iPhone is complete aids

    im sorry guys, but i'm not sorry when i say this. get f----- if you care. i got fucken 300 KILOBYTES PER SECOND SPEEDS.
    Australia is rated FITY-SECOND in the top 100 avg internet speeds. way behind places like, cambodia, phillipines, antarctica, Thailand, Detroit, South Sudan, Aleppo etc. It's LITERAL third-world speeds. The fact you f---ers can hit refresh and have the page reload within a second is f---ing mind blowing to me.
