every post is suffering

Obā-san · 2016-01-07 00:11:40

why this

Anonus · 2016-01-07 00:16:42

It doesn't work on mobile either, though for some reason on the Vanilla-hosted version of HH it did

Obā-san · 2016-01-07 00:18:21

I mean, it works on IE, but in a really janky way

yeah, you know you're fucked when the developers are telling you that you need to switch browsers

it's the browser equivalent to Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain

Klinotaxis · 2016-01-07 01:06:53

isn't it Edge now

Tre · 2016-01-07 01:09:00

Yep, although in order to save face MS opted to market Edge as a new browser entirely in lieu of outright making it an update to IE

as such, it is possible for one to have both installed on Windows 10, though if you still choose to use IE on that OS (or maybe even just in general?) it comes up with a page telling you to make the switch

Princess Alice · 2016-01-07 01:11:32

@Tre: From what I've read, the rationale for even keeping IE 11 in Windows 10 was that there are a lot of broken corporate intranet sites and such that still rely on IE-only functionality, and Edge, despite being based on the same code, is different enough to break compatibility with those.

Anonus · 2016-01-07 01:23:34

god dammit

Edge was supposed to drop all the legacy support that fucks up IE, but they put most of it back in at the last minute. So it's really just IE12.

Calica · 2016-01-07 01:24:59

inori needs to think about what she's done

Corporate sites often still require IE8 or even further back because they license environments for longer than it takes not only the browser, but all of the standards and quirks that the browser is built on, to become utterly deprecated.

Of course, it doesn't help that IE keeps sabotaging its own UA string to keep people from detecting and handling its brokenness. Or setting deceptive variables like window.chrome to trick browser-sniffing code into running shit that won't work with it. Or that it keeps taking all these fucking incremental steps toward standards instead of just getting there like FF/Chrome did, forcing developers to write new branches for every goddamn version.

Warriors You Should Interrupt With Yam Guns does not work well with any browser, to be honest.

They'll most likely do paid custom support for government and large enterprises like they still do with XP.

Which means I still have to bugfix that shit at work.

This is why we should destroy capitalism and replace it with some kind of princess-based economy

Don't act like you don't enjoy the classic Maxis games too, peasant

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-01-07 08:17:46

Madame, Nitya is technically not a peasant, seeing as he has standing in the Court and...

*...*

...there has been an urgent message from the March! I must go and... quell a... thing!

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-07 08:22:46

why do we have marches again?

we haven't been at war with anyone, ever.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-01-07 08:41:19

Because otherwise it defeats the purpose of my being a Marquis and having an elaborate Gothic château.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-07 08:43:50

Fair enough.

I feel like I don't stick to my Centralia mythology hard enough.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-01-07 08:56:06

Me neither, but I get my own house apparently, so I'm cool with that.

Also, Marquis is funnier than Count Palatine, which would arguably be more accurate given the lack of war insofar as I can discern. But then, either way we are apparently subject to a Fürstin.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-07 08:57:47

silly Sredni

Palatine is an Emperor.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-01-07 08:59:05

That's Palpatine.

Palatine means I have a literal palace despite technically only being a count.

But you knew that already.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-07 09:00:42

Count Palpatine of The Rhein

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-07 09:00:55

Rhine?

Rine?

Rein?

I don't know

fuck words

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-01-07 09:02:56

Rhône, bitch, move out the way.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-07 09:03:52

and you about to get run the fuck over

Princess Alice · 2016-01-07 09:04:34

The question is...does Marquis Sredni-Whose-Full-Title-I-Can't-Remember-At-4-AM have magic powers??

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-07 09:06:29

does anyone in centralia not?

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-07 09:06:40

even our car thieves are magic around here

I could answer entirely in silly anime references with BDSM overtones, but the short answer is: Yes.

I forgot about this detail, since I gave Section & Sorrow their own, and thus they're the first ones I associate with... whatever type of housing it is/was exactly.

Drat me, but neat. Do elaborate on the magic~

Palpatine was named after Senator Palantine from Taxi Driver

also the wysiwyg editor is pretty suck for two reasons:

1. cannot apply formatting without using mouse cursor
2. funniness (of the bad kind) in copying stuff out of it -- it retains its own line breaks and thus produces new ones when actually posted. these line breaks are not reflected in the preview though, so it is not actually WYSIWYG.

Tachyon · 2016-01-07 22:53:07

it is kinda buggy, and a bit inconsistent, that's true . . .

the way spoiler tags and youtube embeds work is also not WYSIWYG, plus there's the issues with the quotes

I don't like automatic Youtube embeds but at least they are consistent even within normal editing view.

The line break issue is not even visible in editing view. It only shows up in raw HTML view and when it's posted.

Tachyon · 2016-01-08 09:26:21

that's true, i should have distinguished between, on the one hand, not WYSIWYG but a 1:1 correspondence between WYS and WYG exists (Youtube embeds, spoiler tags), and on the other, What You See Is Not Even A Reliable Indicator Of What You Get (line breaks, quotes)

the wysiwyg editor is profoundly awful with internet explorer
