Blackboard hate, redux
Oct. 7th, 2010 11:25 am*more screaming with incoherent rage*
If you "preview" your post, the preview will look NOTHING like what you post. If it is going to strip out all of my formatting, I would like to know that BEFORE I hit the submit button. ISN'T THAT THE POINT OF PREVIEW BUTTONS? ISN'T IT?!?! AAAAHHHHHRRRR!
I can't believe I have to work with blackboard for two years.
Note for the future: find out how classes are conducted, and try out the software yourself beforehand, if at all possible.
Now I know why UI built ICON. ICON is fucking WONDERFUL, comparatively!

It is SO WORTHLESS for discussions.
The text box is tiny. To respond you get sent to a new page, so whatever you were responding to gets left behind, and there's no easy way to look back at what's been said if/when you lose your train of thought.
There's no way to edit typos, or anything, for that matter. There's no way to read an entire thread in one go.
Any time I try to reply to anything, I start typing but nothing happens. Then I have to stop, click on a different tab, and then come back, and then it's fine. This happens WITH OUT FAIL.
I cannot believe that we are expected to have intelligent and thoughtful discourse in this WORTHLESS forum.
