I was intending to get comments about this BLASTED Login POP-UP.

For me it may be this "Enter Network Password" window that keeps opening up while I am on the site. It has been doing this all day, and not matter what I do it keeps coming back up. This includes typing my username in, and my password....over and over and over.

Just since starting this response it has popped up 7 times.

ANY IDEAS???????

I just hit cancel.

Strange, for me, it only appears when I hit "refresh"....otherwise, I'm fine.

The bugs are so big they'd send New York rats running for cover.

There's a reason that troublemakers are called "spammers."  Anyone ever tried to eat Spam?  It's like solid off-pink jello.  

As if we don't get enough politics from a couple hundred news channels that have all been saying the same thing for the last couple YEARS.  

Proper cursing, however vulgar, is an art.  The language filter has turned that art into a boyband whose members are Ron Jeremy, Plamor, Rocky Dennis, Flea, and the fat guy from Bowling for Soup.  

The spellchecker still can't fix English words.  Maybe it was programmed by Snoop Dogg?  



Any more?

People that find the dumbest things to complain about.
People that act like their too good to click cancel on a pop-up.
People whos day's are ruined over ballreviews popups.
Respected users that blast the beginners for asking questions.
People who act like they were never an entry level bowler before.
People who ask for help or a recoomendation, then when you give one they say it won't work.
People who say "This (ball/company) sucks" just because they haven't thrown a good game with the ball.

shoot...that's only seven

Funny, ever since I have been on this site I have never had a pop-up window open on me, and I do not even run a pop-up filter.  

What gets me are:  
1 people who post reviews on equipment that they have not used
2 people that think they are hot stuff, buy complain when they meet any resistance

that is about it

lucky you! I have to hit cancel 4 times for every post I want to read.

On Edit: I "had" to hit. It now, as of 7:30/8:00 EDST it seems to have been fixed.

But again, with no notice to anyone from Bruce nor any apology. Yes, Bruce I know the site is free.

I have no problems other than I have to sign on every time I get off and come back on. Anyone having that problem?

DP3----the reason that was getting frustrating for me is that it was happening every 5-10 seconds. When you have to keep canceling it out over and over and over in order to type one sentence, that does get annoying.

I have not complained about any other "bug" on this site. It is apparently fixed now, but that was really bad.



I do have to agree-----the ebonics is pretty bad for a few.

#1. Reason... old people suck at the internet.  *kidding*

Deal wiht it guys... every site is liek this.  The admin need to do maintance, sometimes servers get moved, they go over bandwidth limits.  And other computer related jargon crap.

Just relax as long as BR is here, there is nothing to worry about.
