I was intending to get comments about this BLASTED Login POP-UP.
Don't be so self-centered.

For me it may be this "Enter Network Password" window that keeps opening up while I am on the site. It has been doing this all day, and not matter what I do it keeps coming back up. This includes typing my username in, and my password....over and over and over.
Just since starting this response it has popped up 7 times.
ANY IDEAS???????

I just hit cancel.
Strange, for me, it only appears when I hit "refresh"....otherwise, I'm fine.

The bugs are so big they'd send New York rats running for cover.
There's a reason that troublemakers are called "spammers." Anyone ever tried to eat Spam? It's like solid off-pink jello.
As if we don't get enough politics from a couple hundred news channels that have all been saying the same thing for the last couple YEARS.
Proper cursing, however vulgar, is an art. The language filter has turned that art into a boyband whose members are Ron Jeremy, Plamor, Rocky Dennis, Flea, and the fat guy from Bowling for Soup.
The spellchecker still can't fix English words. Maybe it was programmed by Snoop Dogg?
Any more?

People that find the dumbest things to complain about.
People that act like their too good to click cancel on a pop-up.
People whos day's are ruined over ballreviews popups.
Respected users that blast the beginners for asking questions.
People who act like they were never an entry level bowler before.
People who ask for help or a recoomendation, then when you give one they say it won't work.
People who say "This (ball/company) sucks" just because they haven't thrown a good game with the ball.
shoot...that's only seven

Funny, ever since I have been on this site I have never had a pop-up window open on me, and I do not even run a pop-up filter.
What gets me are:
1 people who post reviews on equipment that they have not used
2 people that think they are hot stuff, buy complain when they meet any resistance
that is about it

For me the pop up thing about signing in has ceased to exist. What about for you guys?

lucky you! I have to hit cancel 4 times for every post I want to read.
On Edit: I "had" to hit. It now, as of 7:30/8:00 EDST it seems to have been fixed.
But again, with no notice to anyone from Bruce nor any apology. Yes, Bruce I know the site is free.

DP3----the reason that was getting frustrating for me is that it was happening every 5-10 seconds. When you have to keep canceling it out over and over and over in order to type one sentence, that does get annoying.
I have not complained about any other "bug" on this site. It is apparently fixed now, but that was really bad.
I do have to agree-----the ebonics is pretty bad for a few.

#1. Reason... old people suck at the internet. *kidding*
Deal wiht it guys... every site is liek this. The admin need to do maintance, sometimes servers get moved, they go over bandwidth limits. And other computer related jargon crap.
Just relax as long as BR is here, there is nothing to worry about.

I havent had any pop up problems but I think the reason why there is less
activity is because of the bowling season end. Right before the next bowling season you will see a surge in people coming back and asking all new sorts of questions.

Ball reviewers that drill a ball, throw it for 3 games and then the ball sucks.
Posts that state, "I haven't used <insert Ball mfr> in 6 years because their balls suck" Hmmm, I wonder how much ball technology changes within the course of 1 year, let alone 6. Maybe you ought to try them again.
Posters inside of mfr forums who post stuff about balls they know ABSOLUTELY nothing about.
Reviews: "I threw my friends ball last night and it sucks!". Hmmm, hand span exact as well as PAP? Well then don't post that BS review!!!

I can put up with the speeel chequer, I can put up with the morons, and i can put up with the pop ups. But what REALLY erks me about this site is that OUR SUGGESTIONS do not get listened to. We are the people using it... who else would know better what should and shouldnt be changed?
It seems to me that bruce doesnt give 2 chits about this website, or the people on it. Yes I know its free, but he has bought this place, and we are suggesting to him things that may make it better... which would get him more traffic, and make this site more attractive to potential advertisers, making him money!
I havnt even seen this joker post once on here, maybe im looking in the right place. But I started up a post in the non bowling related forum about how this site is heading downwards. It stayed up the top for about a week, suggestions flying in left right and center. People were offering their services to the site, free of charge mind you. Messages were sent to him, do you think we got a reply?!!? HELL NO!
But when it all comes down to it, its his money he is wasting, not ours. We can find somewhere else to go, so stuff him.
Oh yea, that bush bin lyin fella craps me off 2 LOL
good luck and high scoring
