Things You Don't Like About Mibba.

@ ace merrill.
No, it (DirectWire) was already disabled when I went to chrome://flags. So the only thing I could do was enable it if I wanted to, which I don't, because I don't really know what it is anyway. But that means I still don't know what caused the font change. Wah. Lol.

@ strigoi.
Try enabling it! Because underneath mine it says, "Disable."


If it doesn't work, then I tried.

@ ace merrill.
Yeah, you enabled it, then. Because clicking that disable button would disable it, I believe. But yeah, enabling it worked! Also just realized it's not DirectWire, it's DirectWrite. I'm seriously laughing so hard and I don't know why.

@ strigoi.
Hahaha, that's definitely my bad. At least we figured it out!

That weird space where the ads used to be at. I now have google chrome with ad-blocker.

@ Ash's Pikachu Hina
I've had it for so long I've forgotten what the ads looked like.

@ C418
You're not missing much! Just random adds, some about online games, college crap, and random shows/movies, etc. XD

Who else is seeing those spam stories every time they go into the story section? Ugh. They appear to be in a different language, and literally every single one I see has the same title, and the content is just repeated over and over. I've reported some, but spammers keep joining the site and posting more. Very strange.

@ strigoi.
I've seen them and I agree. It's getting quite ridiculous. I wonder how they're bypassing Dujo banning them. -_-

Dujo's got nothing to do with it at the moment - he's away. It's me, Katie and Audrey who have to ban them once they're reported (keeping in mind that the report button doesn't work), so it's just a matter of one of us being online and able to zap them. We have the editors deleting the spam as quickly as possible, so we're doing our best to rid the site of the spammers!

@ Elephant PJs
Ah ok, thanks for clearing it up.

That I can't ever seem to get a job. A Board Moderator rank, that is.

speaking of seeing those spam stories I really miss when I could filter the story search unless i'm just blind and can't find it.

@ Marinesister92
Do you mean the story advanced search? You can access that by clicking the plus sign next to the search bar

@ Elephant PJs
I find the story search doesn't work when searching for specific ratings. It's really weird.

@ Join the Masquerade
That is weird - it worked fine for me a few months ago when I was writing a column for the Magazine and had to filter out the NC-17 stories

@ Elephant PJs
Maybe because I was doing the opposite.

I don't like the fact that there seems to be limited privacy settings. Right now all you can do is stop people from seeing some of your stuff. I wish there was an option to make your stories only visible to registered users. I also with you could block people as well.

The lack of comments on stories. Yep. That's the main thing I dislike about Mibba nowadays. I'm not trying to complain but I sometimes wish that there was no recc options so that we could get more comments because maybe then people would be a little more active in reading and commenting on stories. Of course, commenting is purely up to the reader but it'd be lovely if people would stop and give some encouragement to authors because there're a lot of users who are feeling frustrated and discouraged from writing. I mean honestly, Mibba is supposed to be a site where we get feedback on stories, right? It even says so in the description on the home page.

@ Pyromancer Hina

More feedback would be great, I agree. On one of the fansites (A7X), I gave a con crit and the person deleted their story. =( It was a fine story, I just gave some suggestions for changes. I think that's part of why people don't like giving feedback is because a) they get a nasty PM about it b) someone deletes the story or c) the author doesn't take the critique.
