I have a few things...

On my Macbook Pro, I can't even access Gizmodo, Jalopnik, or any of the other sites. I've tried from Safari and Chrome which are the two browsers I use. The only thing different that I've noticed is that we live in a different house now, but I don't think that my laptop really cares about that..? Everything works just fine from my iMac. This has been happening since Sunday. Just asked my wife and her MB Air isn't loading it either. I'm not having any problems with any of the other websites I frequent.

Secondly, when I click on a different article from the current article (and not just open another tab like I sometimes do) it just gives me a faded 'current page' and a spinning circle (not the rainbow circle) and sometimes it never loads. If I hit Command R it will refresh to the page I wanted it to be on.

Thirdly, sometimes when I click on an article it loads the page at the very bottom of the comments.

Help? It's really the 1st issue thats the biggest concern, but the 2nd and 3rd are both equally annoying. #broken

Can't post from Chrome today, when I can the text box is right justified over the right story column. Login issues as well. Cleared cache, same problems.

I can't seem to be able to promote red comments via the thumb up. Is that normal? #broken

The commenting system is broken... some replies don't trigger a "new reply" warning next to my username. It always has been the case with pink replies, but now it happens with normal, non-promoted replies.

I can't for the life of me "convert my account". I made up a fake name twitter account and linked it to my Gawker account according to the instructions. Now if I log it with twitter I get immediately signed out. Only signing in with my old Gawker account allows me to stay signed in. But then I get a hundred "convert your account" messages a day. Is this a known problem or am I not doing it right? #broken

Posting comments in firefox is #broken as well.

"You do not have permission to post"

And it also keeps making me log back in even though I am logged in.

Has anyone been able to solve the problem where the layout refuses to stick to the blog style? I've tried clearing out all cookies connected to Giz and I've changed the setting probably 40 times so far, it's getting really annoying. #broken
Posting comments is broken with Chrome, I had to switch to safari to be able to post comments. #broken
I no longer have permission to post. what's up with that?

All articles automatically scroll to the bottom of the page when viewed in Safari in both the current version on Snow Leopard and in iOS 5.0.1. This seems to be a fairly new problem and is really, really annoying when viewing articles with lots of comments. It happens on both Gizmodo and Lifehacker--haven't tested other Gawker sites. The pages load normally and stay at the top using Chrome on the same Snow Leopard system. #broken

Nothing broken here. I just discovered how I can view the replies to my posts, and I think the way you designed it is great. I've reported a few broken things. But this time I just wanted to say thanks. #broken
Permission for my commenting on articles is touch and go. Pretty sure I haven't been suspended at any point... #broken

Two bugs: A couple of months ago all the Gawker sites decided to forget about me wanting to see blog mode from the get go. All the other settings like show all comments first are fine.

Second bug is the views counter for articles doesn't seem to work right. The two latest articles as of this comment both have 0 views but several comments. That, and I know I read both of them. #broken

Just encountered a problem with trying to comment when I go to Gizmodo via Chrome. I get the error message: "You don't have the permission to comment on this site." I was able to log into Gizmodo via Firefox and comment, but Gizmodo (and probably the rest of the Gawker Media sites) isn't getting along with Chrome. :( #broken
every day I visit and every day the page fails to load properly. Sometimes no images load, sometimes no css style sheets load and it all looks like a block of text. Happens on all gawker sites. Happens with Chrome, Firefox and IE9.. not sure why I keep coming back just to get frustrated. BIG TIME BROKEN #broken
This comment cannot be replied to because it's too short.

This commenting system is horrible. Most of my threads don't even show up. And I can't see my inbox when I click my name at the top right corner so if I want to approve of replies I have to go all the way back to the original article.

It's not well thought out. #broken

You don't have the permission to comment on this site #broken
After clearing all my cookies, Chrome will no longer save my view preferences. And no, I'm not blocking any cookies. #broken

I keep getting "comment save failed" so I have to copy the comment I wrote, refresh the page, paste the comment and then it saves.

Btw, it just happened when I posting this. I think it happens if I leave the page open for too long. I can only comment soon after the page is loaded. #broken
