Wordsmoker

Hello browser-cursers!

Wordsmoker Customer Service (Raul and Tony) have had two complaints regarding the performance of Wordsmoker articles under the festering heap of horror-code commonly referred to in whispered tones amongst web developers as “Microsoft Internet Explorer“.  It seems that some, though not all (great, that makes it easy to bug-hunt. Ed) articles produce an anti-Pro-Choice message or something saying “Operation Aborted” in fuckoffhuge letters on your computer boxes.

Second of all before first of all – Microsoft Internet Explorer is shit.

Now, first of all – nothing’s changed in the background code of Wordsmoker on GLORIOUS SERVER to produce this reaction in the worst web browser ever. Thirdly, I can replicate the error on my computer box, which means that Microsoft Internet Destroyer 7 seems to be effected (I can’t roll back to 6 because I’m filled with enough anger as it is.) Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera seem to be okay – but that’s no surprise, because Microsoft Internet Imploder is the worst web browser ever.

Have I mentioned that Microsoft Internet Collider is the worst browser ever? Anyway – I apologise on behalf of Bill Gates if you’re getting this message. But what to do, I hear you say (at least – I hope it’s you, cos it’s the middle of the night and i’m alone here)? Well. You can put up with it, because as Gandhi said:

“Web content is so much better when you have to fight your way through it by clicking warning buttons”

I’m sure you’ll agree. But even Gandhi had his limits, and ended up using Firefox because non-violence towards Microsoft Internet Deflowerer can only achieve a physical rapprochement between your fist and your computer box for only a short time, in internet terms.

But what to do? Well, if you can manage it, try to use either Safari or Firefox. I’d go with Firefox, because I’ve been using Mozilla code since 1999 and I trust it like I trust my oldest cat, Ben, to run away from me for no reason whatsoever whenever he wants. I will still look into this (as it smells like a bad implementation of Javascript at Microsoft’s end) and see if I can give you details of a fix. For myself, too – as I’m so anal that I regularly check Wordsmoker out in every browser, just for shiggles, and well – I just don’t like things not working.

Anyway – I’m looking into it, and I’ll let you know as soon as. Sorry for the additional clickiness in the interim.
