    Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't the "undo" function take itself less literally? As in, do something other than "wipe irrevocably everything you've typed, olololol :trollface:"? How about, I dunno, "only undo the last action taken"?

    I agree. Sometimes you just type wrong.

    mondblut does this happen on other sites? I think it might be browser related.

    DU just needs to relabel "undo" as "unmake".

    The main problem is you type something, then delete something, then attempt to undo deletion with ctrl-z (like just about with any text-typing tool from notepad to browser forms) and end up losing everything you have typed. That happens on other xenforo forums too. Phpbb, by contrast, properly treats deletion as a separate event and undoes it without undoing whatever you typed first.

    Because the old software was REALLY old, and the developers were no longer supporting it. So DU chose one that has continued support, and has a nice mods section of it as well.

    Nah, XenForo was just better than phpBB - design-wise and performance-wise.

    Also, what the fuck is "ans" everytime I try and type "and" on this thing it wants to correct it to ans.

    Stupid fucking phone.
