Ben here.

@IB Nolan nobody likes fuzzy pictures.

Use the "new post" link to the left of the thread title and scrolling won't be necessary to find the new post. I tell you this because the remedy is likely to not appear quickly.

Edit: It looks like this https://www.miataturbo.net/mt2011/im...s/firstnew.gif

@IB Nolan , did you fix the fuzzy pictures while I was away at the racetrack this week?

Has anyone else noticed that the "my threads" button often disappears when scrolling up?

Blocked sites from 'new posts'
 

OK, WTF is this site doing?

When I tried to open this page from 'new posts', I get http://d3r7hmxb6votj6.cloudfront.net and my Trend Micro goes ape and blocks it. Clicking the back button a few times then gets me back here ...

Hey

Hey

I'm here to say

@IB Nolan When are these fucking fuzzy pictures going away?

Thanks but it's often missing. I've seen it a few times since you mentioned it but the same thing just happened. I was scrolling through a thread only to have it freeze, reload to the top, and there is NO "new post" button...and yes, I'm signed in and haven't cleared my browser history. If this board weren't full of great information I wouldn't continue to torture myself.

EDIT...After some thought I figure it's missing because the page was loaded and there are no longer any "new posts" to jump to when it freezes and reloads. Never happens anywhere but here.

Thanks for picking up my slack while i was busy yesterday guys.

@IB Nolan baby jesus hates fuzzy pictures.

It's Monday morning and we'd like to say that no one likes the fuzzy pictures.

@IB Nolan New week, not-so-new feelings about how awful fuzzy pictures are.

Is this the real mt.net? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a bad forum, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the BBCode and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no fuzzy images
Because I'm easy upload, easy download, little bandwidth, little patience
Any way, the forum blows, which really fucking matters to me, to me

by the end of the first line i was singing it.

@concealer404 is a fucking monster :rofl:

So, nobody else getting these error messages from their AV software? Happens when opening page from favourites list, now happened a number of times since the changes.Website Address:Win Erx03 PageResponse:BlockedDetected By:Browser Exploitation Prevention

Ed you have some weird shit going on down there in AUS.

Have you tried flipping your monitor upside down?

Exactly, thanks for the catch Rich!

Oh wait ....

@IB Nolan Another day, another day of everyone hating fuzzy pictures.

Put that crap on the mobile site where it belongs. Seems better to just have one broken mode that those people with limited data plans can choose to use it, rather than forcing us desktop users (and unlimited data plans that choose to NOT use the mobile site because it's terrible) to endure something that's good ONLY for people on phones, without unlimited plans.

Nolan is busy in Mexico drinking his ass off. We are working to get me in on a conference call with devs and managers when he gets back in the US.

Really looking to going all Les Grossman on them.

Wtf? Dis you IB?

hate the new MT

pictures aside, you cant get to the title bar for "new posts" with infinite scrolling.
fix your shit IB. I hated this on the mobile browser for years, im sad to see it on computer too. #shitsbroke

Daily reminder that fuzzy pictures suck.

@IB Nolan Great news! Today i love fuzzy pictures!!!!


.... said no one, ever.

I ask the forum, until the fuzz mod is removed, to post all pics in at least 4K. If you start with high res, the fuzz can only fuzz so much and wont be so fuzzy. That's how it works, right?

Another fuzzy image hater here, don't even need this feature on mobile as my 4G is almost as fast as my home DSL.

Just popping in to say fuzzy images kill kittens

@IB Nolan Fuzzy pictures make me want to sell my Miatae in protest so i don't need this site anymore.

I created a new version of the logo banner at the top of the page:

Thaaaat's the one I was waiting for.

Im mad I didn't think of this. Too funny.

Even more funny when the blury picture loads in even more blury.

omg, quotes like these come out of my mouth daily! love it. i was literally talking trash about the shitty code on an app i'm working on rebuilding this morning. first one just landed on my cube wall.

I gave IB Nolan a new avatar while I was at it.

:likecat:

Good one Joe.

He hasn't posted in this thread since the 25th... on vacation?

Attachment 228428

I think he's avoiding us

He is. He replied within a couple hours when weird amazon Adlinks were popping up in the classifieds a couple days ago.

@IB Nolan I never would have guessed it, but fuzzy pictures suck even on a Saturday.

Hey @IB Nolan i hope you had a good weekend. I took Sunday off from informing you how badly this forum works now, and how much everyone hates fuzzy pictures, because well.. Sunday is a day of rest.

Happy Monday!

PS: I hope whomever invented fuzzy pictures finds a special place in Hell.

I'm betting that the world will be coming to an end before IB realizes that their insistence on the "related thread" addition tacked on to the end of each thread is driving away members and so negatively impacting their income. Or, maybe membership has been declining and this is their effort to improve the numbers? In either case it will be a sign of the impending apocalypse.

You can go into your options and eliminate the related threads as well as the infinite scroll. Nothing we can do about the fuzzy pictures except bitch.

It's Monday night, and much like Mondays, fuzzy pictures suck.

None of the other Miata sites have fuzzy pictures.

@IB Nolan I really need those fuzzy images, please dont take them away:

I could create a .js file that could defeat it, but you'd have to install a chrome extension like snippets and run it each time.


i only see lazyload.js as a way for IB to cheap out on paying for bandwidth by only loading the content to user is actually going to view [or scroll into view], but then they add continuous scrolling which encourages a user to sit there and constantly load content forevers.

@IB Nolan, I pay a lot of money to this site each month. Fix the fucking pictures.

if you can inject this into the site, it will find all the fuzzy images on the page and switch them to the real ones.

Apparently, a long-held mystery is now solved. Dilbert works for IB.

Ahem. I am here to say that fuzzy pictures kill babies. @IB Nolan you don't like killing babies, do you?

I know, and I have already done that. However I do not normally log in to the site unless I am going to make an (infrequent) post, so I am stuck with seeing the damn related threads. We have still not heard a valid reason for this being imposed.
