That thing where your links don’t always show as links, especially on the old threads where it turns into html. ---

I can’t type. That bothers me a lot. I can almost live with not being able to spell, but the combination makes me look far stupider than I really am. Actually, most of my peeves about SDMB are related to my own stupididty. I’m too new to know all of the old jokes and I don’t have the neural link to keep up with the new ones. I love everything else, its me I have a problems with. Maybe I should take this to therapy. ---

Reminds me of junior high Speech class. If you have a point state it. ---

I hate it when you log a story only to have people ask irrelevant questions such as “What was the color of your underwear at that time?” Not only it is annoying, it detracts from the main point of the story. ---

I’d say it’s the lack of picture capability. There used to lots of fun images. (Don’t tell me copyright again, I know all the reasons. It’s still my least favorite quirk.) ---
