Just a test

Just a test to see if EA ever bothered to fix the \"descrip.tion\" bug in the blogs.\r\n\r\n\r\nSimply typing Deion now to see if it gets translated still to Deion\r\n\r\n\r\nNope, apparently the site still changes the word descrip.tion (remove the period in the word) to the word Deion. I now have to wonder, maybe the next expansion is going to be named:\r\n\r\nThe Sims 3: Deion\r\n\r\n

And of course new paragraphs don\'t work unless you use html code for new break lines. Sheesh, months after release and their amateur web team still can\'t fix this or keep the forums running properly.\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nIf you havn\'t seen it lately, the forums are putting messages in the wrong order, try replying to a message and you might find your new message appearing as the first message in the thread you replied to, or you might find it tucked away between the 4th and 5th post on page 2 when there are 29 pages in the thread. Amateurs!

Blog Bugs

There is a bug in the blogs that transposes the word Descr.iption to Deion.  The period is inserted there to show what word it is.

Funny that I contacted EA support who promptly put the blame on my browser and told me that I need to delete my temporary internet files.  The funny thing is that I accept a slower browser experience by making my browser check for newer content on every visit to a page instead of the default to check once in a while.

Plus theres absolutely no way that my browser is transposing the word Descrip.tion to Deion.  When I submit the word it is as it should be, after the server has accepted it, it gets changed.
