Copied Linked text from Waypoint are getting replaced with 2old2play links.
I have had a number of links I copied from Waypoint get smashed up into some kind of 2old2play hybrid.
I.E. Copy the linked bulletin heading text from Waypoint.
Should have this value.

Instead I get this.

test
Working fine here. IE?
Did you conduct the test exactly as I did? Your "test" example doesn't exactly look like a direct copy of linked text from Waypoint.
Please go into a Waypoint Halo Bulletin. At the top of the page is a title that is also linked to the same page. I am literally just selecting and copying the text and pasting it into a forum topic.
The Halo Bulletin: 10.25.12 this is the result of a direct paste.
The Halo Bulletin: 10.25.12 this is what I should get. Use this link to get to a Waypoint article.
Thanks.
this is right click and copy link (from chrome):

this is highlighting the text, right click, copy:

Doesn't matter anyway. Doodirock should make this site work for the 60% people who use IE.
Only 60% of the people visiting here DONT use IE. 16% do. Not that it shouldn't work for them too, but with how horrible IE is and the amount of work it takes a developer to code around it, it comes down to time vs need. Below is the breakdown of browsers on 2old2play. Hell even SAFARI is beating IE.
Also, if 60% of the potential new members are IE users, which is very likely, and they try to use 2old2play.com with poor results then one could expect the numbers you just posted. Ever think of that aspect?
You may be inadvertently creating a membership filter. Booo.
As for how how horrible IE is, that's voodoo nerd bullshit. All the big players provide service to the true Internet majority.
sorry DEEP, but i've just gone through this with the national governing body of my work industry. research shows anywhere from 15-38% still using IE and that # drops every month.
that being said, you do have a valid point in the "user filter"...and it's working perfectly. mwahahahaahaaaaaaaa!!!
Except that conflicts with this. So what can I believe?

In the same article you posted they said Statcounter showed completely different results, but the one thing anyone can agree on is IE went from 90% share to under 60 in less then a decade. So the truth remains the same regardless.
I've been web developer for over 13 years now. There is no "bullshit" here. IE is horrible to code for. Requires special style sheets, separate JS commands, and remains to have the highest amount of rendering issues out of any modern browser. This isn't something you can have an opinion on. Its just fact. There is a reason that even with a free install base on their OS, IE continues to fail. It's horribly designed, bloated, buggy, and sufferers from the same rendering issues it's had since IE6.
Put it this way, there are special books written for how to deal with how shitty IE is. I dont need a book for Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. They are all standards compliments and ready to go out of the box. Instead developers have to read tutorials like this one just to get their interfaces to work in IE. So while you might be right that I'm losing a small amount of people to no IE support, its worth the loss for the hours and hours of my life that I save not having to jump through IE's hoops. Also, keep in mind that the stats I showed are from hits, so even if they were leaving do to IE I would still see their browsers in these stats.
Finally, the site works "fine" in IE and over all I'm relatively happy with how it performs. Will it for better in other browsers? Sure. But then again, you'd be using a better browser so why shouldn't it?
I do not like Google. It pervasively wants to collect personal data. I don't like that. MS seems to be a bit more thoughtful about private security. At least I trust MS more.
I have no idea how difficult it is for you to deal with IE and I am very supportive of your work and am thankful for the time you spend on this stuff. I also know you want bugs/issues reported and so I do. I understand you won't have time to fix everything.
The "voodoo nerd bullshit" was meant more to be a joke about how issues like these tend to be rather mysterious to the unwashed masses and all they want is their stuff fixed without having to know about the discombobulator.
