EVE General Discussion

This isn't a joke, please keep the trolling to a minimum and have a little respect for a fellow human being.


I have an unnamed nervous system disorder. My nerves are in a perpetual state of hyper activitey (imagine a hiccup in your right arm, that slowly spreads to the rest of your body and will never go away). One of the things, of many, that it's doing to me is making fine motor control very difficult.

IN OTHER WORDS I TYPE MUCH SLOWER THAN I USED TO. I also make a considerable amount of mistakes as I don't really have complete control of where my fingers go. I also have some trouble with putting the mouse pointer where I want it. Not to mention the pain.


I'm tired of hitting "post", and having to reformat EVERY FRIGGING TIME I HIT POST, because instead of posting it pulls the saved post and requires me to fix it so it's not a wall text. This happens every single time I try to post something that's more than a sentence long.


Please fix this CCP. It's making posting on the forums a living hell for me.

Shouldn't have to, but yeah that would be a solution. (Never though to do this, thanks)

CCP still needs to fix it so it doesn't do this. It didn't used to do this, I don't understand why it's doing it now. Either I got much slower at typing or it seems to have actually gotten progressively worse.


If I hit "post" it should post, nothing else.

Do what the rest of us do and copy and paste it.

Even without a disorder of the nervous system its a huge pain.


Good luck with your body and i hope that it is not progressive


EDIT. also Zimmy Zeta

Whether you have a condition like this or not, it is simply a problem that we shouldn't have to put with.

It's been 2 years. There's no way to find out what's happening that doesn't involve removing my brain, or genetic testing that doesn't exist currently.

It's cool, I'm enjoying life, and will continue for as long as I'm alive.


I just want the forum to post what I write when I hit post.



If anyone is really interested in what's happening or learning about how horribly little doctors actually know about the nervous system, feel free to write me. I only mention it in the thread because it makes posting here just a tad more difficult than it would normally.


Please, join me in telling CCP to fix the damn forum.

Tomorrow, I will lose all internet connection for maybe one or two weeks.
But after that, I will contact you in game if that's OK for you.

FireFox+Lazarus ftw.

I wish we had the old forums back... Way better.

/c

What about for those of us who aren't as tech savvy. I feel like I should just be able to hit the [ENTER] button and be able to post away to my hearts content. This is just ridiculous.

Hi,

I'll raise this up the chain as it were but can you clarify what's going on ?

Are you saying that when you click post instead of posting it reloads with the saved draft ?

When it does this, approximately how long does it take you write the post?

What browser are you using ?

Thanks.

Line two is exactly what happens.

I've never timed it, but it would seem that anything approaching a minute causes it to happen. I'm not entirely sure exactly how long it's taking me to post everything anymore. I can say that short posts, only a few lines or so don't seem to be effected, longer posts (which I admit I tend to make a lot more of) are when it happens.

The draft reload would be fine, but it doesn't save the format, only what was typed; so you end up with a giant wall of text that you have to go back into and fix all of your new paragraphs; that includes whatever you quoted.
