    Fun Fact: Updating these fields is the only way for me to interact with the Shard! On Kindles the "reply" and "submit status" fields don't work. I think only the boxes without formatting options work :(

    @Ggoz: *waves* Hello! I think it was you who put that you were reading DCC (Dungeon Crawler Carl) in your signature, so thanks for introducing me to that, it kept me sane on my plane flight
    @Ussewa: I'm currently using a Kindle Paperwhite 11th gen. and so I must suffer... I also can't have more than one tab open, or load Reddit answers, or open YouTube, though I have terrible loading speed anyway. On the plus side, the Coppermind and Bulbapedia still work so I can satisfy my boredom that way.
    @Factor: Yeah, hopefully.

    Go read @Stardust's stories! They're really good, I promise!

    Someday you will find me
    Caught beneath a landsli-ha-hide
    In a campaign supernova~r in the sky."

      More specifically, a beta-feature web browser exists on a lot of e-reader devices that uses a very basic search engine (like safari-4) that isn't up to date with modern sites due to how old it is. 

      This typically results in only being able to use or access sites that are dated. In the past, this included the shard, but when the forum software was updated the reply boxes were too and now without the formatting it is impossible to type within them. Some things, like updating profile fields, are evidently still possible. I am impressed they even got past the captcha, which would definitely not permit such an old web browser access.  

      Due to the browser being so dated, it also results in crashes on complex websites (such as youtube, although youtube won't even embed in most dated browsers). Hopefully one day he gets a proper device that can access a modern browser, but I don't really know his situation or what's allowed.

      ...And you say you aren't particularly smart.

      Um, he has a iPad he usually uses, bit he's in Spain so only has access to the Kindle. I guess he'll be back in like... a couple months pr something.
