A list of specific grievances with this software (Propecia, Avodart, Spiro, DHT & hormones ...)

posted by Bryan, 06.04.2008, 14:44

1) The first and foremost problem is that even when you aren't logged in, you can still click the "Reply" button, which then still brings up the normal text window for posting; you can then spend a lot of time writing a long, intricate post (doing a "Preview" regularly, to reset the posting timer -- see problem #2 below). Then when you're finally finished and you click the "OK-Submit" button, all the text that you just finished writing DISAPPEARS into the "bit-bucket" forever, and you are taken to a screen that tells you that you have to be logged-in to post, and then prompts you to do just that. Everything you just wrote is GONE, and cannot be retrieved. That design is ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE, and must be changed. The software needs to tell you IMMEDIATELY that you need to be logged-on to post, not an hour later after you've written (for example) 10 pages of detailed text.

2) There is also a timer that starts the moment you begin writing a post. I don't know exactly what the duration is, but I believe it's around 5-15 minutes. If you exceed that limit without clicking the "Preview" button or the "OK-Submit" button, everything you wrote again gets dumped when you eventually _do_ try to submit it, and you have to start all over again. THIS RESTRICTION MUST CEASE. I don't know of any other forum that has such a time limit in place. It's completely unnecessary.

3) There needs to be a provision of some kind for when you go to post your text with the "OK-Submit" button, and there is a (momentary?) lag on the Internet of some kind which causes a time-out because of no response from the server, which then results in an error message and (again) a total loss of everything you've written. There may be technical problems with browsers which could prevent a good solution for THAT problem, though, but it needs to be addressed in some way. I don't think it's insoluble. It might require a change in the browser software itself.

4) A relatively minor complaint I have is the fact that you cannot edit your posts once a short amount of time has passed (I believe it's 5 minutes). That's also an unnecessary restriction, although it's not nearly as obnoxious as having your entire post disappear as in #1 and #2 above.

Problem #3 may not be very amenable to fixing, and problem #4 isn't really all that important; but problems #1 and #2 MUST be fixed immediately. As far as I'm concerned, those are the deal-breakers. FIX THIS EFFING SOFTWARE!
