Question

cant post due to stupid forum feature, ridiculous

i cannot post/browse without this huge  banner coming up on my phone asking "you have questions that have answers" and the "x" to close it is "greyed out", making it impossible to get rid of. 

i just tried to create a new message and it blocked the "post" button, so i tried to click the thin line of the "post" button that was visible underneath it, and of course it clicked the banner and i LOST MY WHOLE MESSAGE.

I CANNOT POST NOW. 

in order to post this, i was forced to go into all my questions and mark then as "answered" or not

is this supposed to be another "feature" of this forum? why is shit always breaking here because of these stupid "features" that some hipster intern thinks are a good idea?

    KISS is an acronym for "Keep it simple, stupid" as a design principle noted by the U.S. Navy in 1960.[1][2] The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated; therefore simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided.

    Download and use the Chrome browser, I think it has APB built-in. Certainly haven't got anything like that appearing when posting using my phone.
