damn_registrars's Journal: Who Screwed Up Rendering This Week?

My browser didn't change (firefox 38.0). My OS didn't change (ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS). My internet connection didn't change (nope, not telling you who). I was travelling this week and thought maybe the craptacular rendering of slashdot was the result of it detecting me to be coming from some place else. Now I am back home and the page is still rendering poorly.

In particular:

• When I view a comment there is no right banner, and the "the fine print" message is printed twice
• When I click on messages (from the front page) it renders a mess as well; the right banner renders above the rest of the text and there is a nonsensical grey bar going across the screen left-to-right near the middle

I just love the arbitrary changes that they launch here all the time. It's like bug hunting, but without bugs ever being resolved or any bounties for the people who find them.

Sometimes I just wish it could suck more. Is that so wrong?

Are you saying you secretly took a job writing awful code for slashdot? Glad to hear you found a new hobby, but considering how much awful code is already implemented, how could you ever show you made a difference? :P

Let's just file that one away under "questions you probably don't want answered", m'kay? ;-)
