I use a discussion board that has migrated from React to uber-React. Now the system has become completely hostile to saving local pages. Now any local copy when opened locally shows (then blanks completely) all visible content and mutters helplessly "Perhaps you followed an invalid link?"

But even more hostile is a discussion forum has replaced embedded message post times <time></time> with just useless plain "x ago" text and the actual timestamps for each has been hidden as React "props" magically shown by mouseover events by "class". Like "I'll show a picture of a timestamp if you really wanna see one."

An HTML-only copy is more than useless when it used to contain messages and times. A "Web, complete..." copy has message text in there but it blanks everything, sounds like the kind of bug someone would have fixed in a minute if they cared.

And they don't it seems. Like web architecture involves toppling furniture at random and too bad if you trip over something. Love it or leave.

Is this a React thing or an attention-to-detail thing? When I cannot easily save pages locally, I'll go elsewhere.

PS: It "looks" as beautiful as ever. A tad slower maybe.
