04.24.18 | Never mind, just found it. It was the review of the Sting and Shaggy album by Dr. Gonzo. You're a good man, Dr. G. |

04.24.18 | yeah it's weird, thought it was something about the computer i typed reviews on, but then i saw it on other reviews. |
Divaman
04.24.18 | The really funny thing is the question mark works fine on the summary at the top of the review. It's just inside the body of the review that there's a problem. |

04.24.18 | The bugs on this website are embarrassing. MX is a jerkoff. |

04.24.18 | 3 is great |

04.24.18 | fullwidth question mark, yea. i think i told gonzo, i searched for alternatives but there aren't any good ones tbh |
Divaman
04.25.18 | Looks goofy, but less goofy than an inch symbol. That just looks like the writer made a typo and was too lazy to proofread himself. |
Asdfp277
04.25.18 | the other option is ﹖, or the double question mark ⁇ |

You're free to donate any monetary amount you feel. |

04.25.18 | I saw it before the sting one but yeah praise whoever found it (I think was asdfp?) |

04.25.18 | It was Asdfp. |

As if MX can't use the money he collects from user traffic and ads to do that. Instead you can't even type a fucking question mark in a review correctly. It's shitty and you know it. |

04.25.18 | mx has said before he just doesn't want anyone messing with the coding other than himself, so i don't think we're gonna see any improvements in a looooong time |

This web site is unusable without ad blocker. I doubt he sees much revenue from it. |

04.25.18 | i use firefox, disabled adblock on this and it works fine :// |

04.25.18 | Mobile without adblock is impossible I don't use mobile adblock for anything but sput |
Asdfp277
04.25.18 | on mobile it's unusable tho yea |

04.25.18 | ^^^ |
Doctuses
04.25.18 | as long as the ads are on the website he makes money, it doesn't matter if individuals use an adblocker. |
Doctuses
04.25.18 | and if its the case that hes the only one who does the coding then there is literally no one else to blame but him. |

04.25.18 | Does anyone know why my profile pic does not show up in the album comment threads? |

04.25.18 | "as long as the ads are on the website he makes money, it doesn't matter if individuals use an adblocker."
not quite. companies can now detect when adblock is being used, and doesn't pay the website for that user's pageview. and considering how most if not all of the recurrent users of sput have to use adblock...
"Does anyone know why my profile pic does not show up in the album comment threads? "
There are two profile pics: one for your forum profile, and one for your main page profile. Are you sure you uploaded to the right one? |
Doctuses
04.25.18 | well I still get plenty of ads whenever I visit sputnik even with an adblocker and so does everyone else who visits this website, so he makes plenty enough to fix the stupid question mark bug without having to think twice. |
someguest
04.25.18 | It's not really a big deal. |
Casavir
04.25.18 | @asdfp277 The thing is that I think I'm uploading to the correct location. If you go to my profile page, you'll see an avi next to one of my messages on there. My forum profile never changes on the other hand. |

04.25.18 | Even if this wasn't the only bug on this site it would still be bad. But you and me both know there are tons of bugs on sputnik, and do I even need mention the fact that the interface probably hasn't been updated since 2004? I've said it before and I guess I have to say it again, the bugs and the old interface are the reasons why the footraffic on this website is down the gutter. There's a reason this site is basically populated by the same 10 dudes talking about the same 10 albums day after day, and there's nothing wrong with that, but from a business perspective the bugs/interface situation screams, "I don't give a shit about the product or the users". So, it is, in fact, a big deal. |
Asdfp277
04.25.18 | this site has never been a business endeavour, it could be but mx just wants it as a small community / basic coding project |

Even better! He's doing a shitty job at both of them then. |
Divaman
04.25.18 | Well good on you, Asdfp, for figuring that out. It's been driving me nuts for awhile now. |
someguest
04.26.18 | lol
that's the appeal of this site. it's a bit of a free-for-all. a wild wild west if you have it. sites like this one will always have a cult feel. and if you don't like the environment here you don't stick around long. |
