"wait 10000 Lightyears Or Click Here"

<div class="IPBDescription">Any way to disable WAITING?</div> It sucks. Every time I log in or change my settings, the same "wanna wait.. ok.. yeah, waiting is cool, it rocks.. .. ... .. btw.. if you want REALLY to get forward, click HERE". So, if I may ask, who really likes waiting? At least I don't. And when I don't want to wait, I'll have to click. What's the point with all the clicking around? No one gets profit from the waiting screen, it only takes up time and bandwith - and patience. So, if possible, PLEASE, put an option to "my controls" to disable all those %#" screens. Or better, remove all of them. They simply suck, hard. Believe me.

    It doesn't matter if you don't like it or not. You can't do anything about it.

    "I don't like that the sky is blue, I want it purple!"

    It's the way the forum works.

    n'es pa?

    Yeah I know I can't do anything to it, but it doesn't mean that anyone else can't either. And why even bother to code all those "features", which also raise your f-curve?

    Btw, it's way easier to do some little coding than change the color of the sky...

    Take it up with <a href='http://www.invisionboard.com/' target='_blank'>Invision Power Services</a> then. They make the board your currently using.

    More pressing issues with the forums, there are. If 3 seconds of patience, you do not have... click link, you must.

    Put number one before number 3. You end up with 13 (seconds). Three seconds is nothing, thirteen is.

    Another issue is about discriminaton of png-pictures. They are not accepted. And 64x64 (maximun size allowed) is also from somewhere deep beyond surface. 80x80 rocks.

    If you're waiting 13 seconds... you need to look at your connection... not the forum code.

    I can't do anything about it that the server is in the **** end of nowhere. Stuff moves through 23 hops, and I would bet that this page is IE "optimised".

    What would you like if opening your start menu took 13 or even 3 seconds? You would just suffer alone and wait, right? I'm not that kind of person who likes twiddling his thumbs when someone has messed up things with full responsibility.

    Ok...

    I literally haven't logged in, in about 4 months simply because I have cookies enable along the forum to remember me.

    Also. Why do I need to constantly fiddle with my settings? I found ones I liked when I first came to this board and haven't touched them since.


    blarg. This thread is redundant. Somebody get greedo in here to fire it.

    no-one ever had problems before you.

    Chances are the problems isn't with the forum.

    Consider yourself lucky that the forums will automatically redirect after a short period of time. Earlier versions of Invision didn't even do that - you <i>had</i> to click the link <b>every time</b>!!! <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    as soon as i see that little "your post has been posted" i generally hit "back" 4 times to get to the forums.

    it seems that sometimes the auto redirect doesnt work anyway.

    13 seconds does not account for much in the grand scheme of things. Dedicate those 13 seconds to a better use then wondering why it takes so long for the forum to redirect you and you will go far!

    I have a feeling this guy will be a problem - he's made 4 posts - 4. All in this thread, mind you. And he's already complaining about a 2-3 second wait.

    /me points at flat line and nods sagely

    as for a 3 sec wait? so what

    a 13 sec wait? ok so click it. That link is there so that if the fowarding is being slow for you (and you alone) you CAN do something. so click it and please stop complaining <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    oh and welcome to the forums, avoide the yoda monkeys
