I did make a scrollbar that appeared to stick to the bottom of the table. I used a div with the same width as the table, used a scroll event listener to update the tables actual scroll position and only had it appear when the user was currently over a table and that table overlapped the bottom of the viewport. It worked well in the sense that people would use it without thinking about it.

I think this is the reason why the site is found so useful now. The meta board is a good read for anyone who wants to understand more or find out how to resolve their issues with the site.

You can work around this issue by creating a bit of separation between the height of your items and the heights used in CSS. At these heights the scroll thumb is already reduced to it's minimum height, so as long as you make sure that scrolling jumps to that right point in the data you can "borrow" from the CSS height to stop it going over the maximum.

I find it much quicker to write and neater to read than vanilla JS. I optimise afterwards and might consider swapping it out but it's usually low down the list of performance issues. Although it can be a bigger issue if you don't know how select things and store those selections efficiently with it.

In some countries there might also be a menu on the table for easier browsing. It does away with the frustrating parts of the experience like needing your orders ready at the exact time the waiter asks for it and having to wait for a bill after you finish. So you can just focus on the company of the people you're with, the food and the atmosphere.

It's the heavy unrealistic looking make-up which breaks the immersion for me. It looks like they could be having a night out in the city rather than adventuring. No realistic looking mud or sweat. I also think the clutter in the environment is too orderly and the lighting too arbitrary. These things might be fine in a magical realm like Alice in Wonderland but I don't think they suit this setting.

My local taxi companies will text you a link which allows you to pay online, so you can pay on the way to the destination. I usually just call and say "taxi from A to B please" before putting my shoes on, because in my experience apps are more hassle.

I lost my account from 2010 in the migration, because they require the transaction ID of the original purchase. The support person told me that the transaction ID was a key to the account.

I think normal people have just changed how they use it without much fanfare. If people want to quickly find a specific site they are looking for they know it's the place. But if they want to explore the world of cat memes they know it's not the place for something like that any more (it'll only show you 143 results, many with weak relevancy).

For other things I make use of the "work offline" mode, to see what's loaded in and then leave. I'd like it if browser devs stopped pushing that future further away and maybe gave it a hotkey.

Isn't it an inevitable process considering how life works on this planet? I suppose you could say that life creates it, in the same way that you could say drivers create traffic patterns.

I tried them after reading here about how their support is excellent and had an interesting one-day experience. Not long after logging in for the first time their site started having some issues, such as the GUI being jumbled because the asset weren't loading correctly. It went down officially a minute later and I didn't have time to hang around until it came back up. I got charged for the things that had enabled themselves or failed to really disable during that mess, so I asked for the money back. The first response gave me a guide to closing my account, so I tried again. The second response was to refund me some loose change (some dollars and cents).

It's always worked fine for me when it comes to finding simple things with a search. I think it's deteriorated in some ways though. I don't find the advanced search operators reliable anymore (eg. give me all the news about a topic published between certain dates) and I think it caps collections of things very early now, rather than returning the "billion" of results it says it has (eg. give me more than the 1000 most popular cat memes that I've seen before, or all the books about beaches).
