What's on your mind?

I know I've said this before but I HATE pages that operate based on a "Load More" function.
What's wrong with page numbers?
If you're looking for something that's been a while ago, you constantly have to scroll down, click load more, wait. Scroll down, load more, wait. Scroll down, load more, wait. Over and over. It's the most annoying thing.
Press on a link accidently because the button didn't show up in time? Start over. Close the page by accident? Start over. And I sure hope you don't get tired by seeing the same things scroll by again and again and again that you've seen plenty times now.
Instead of, you know, have a page numer that you could remember to go back to. Nope. You always have to start over from the beginning.
If popups were the bane of the internet a few years ago, Load More buttons are it now.
...
In other news: I've participated in the first (in a long time and first by this host) Event Workshop over at the rpg-studio.
Despite having been planned ahead of time for two weeks, no one really knew what to do or suggest, so it was kinda chaotic XD But also very fun =D We ended up talking about how to keep your Events (and by extension your database and maps) organized, shared ideas and suggestions and all learned something, I think.
And we now want to make it a regular thing, so that's pretty nice too. I actually get to talk to my fellow german Maker-users for a change XD

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You, too? Thought I was the only one." (C.S. Lewis)

If it's funny, make sure people laugh. If it's not funny, make it funny (unless it's actually really serious). (silvercheers)
Please don't spell my name "Yamina-chan". It's all small. Thank you =D
