    Hi!

    I heard about xsimulator from reddit /r/robotics. I've built a small scale stewart platform and I plan to go big soon. I'm looking for software to connect my platform to various games and this sounds like the right place.

    However, I had some trouble using the site and it makes me question the quality of the software.

    On the homepage there's a video playing that autoplays and is smashed so far to the right that it falls of my screen. I'm running on a 17" apple laptop in firefox. It looks like there's a space in the top of the page where the video was supposed to go, but something went wrong. That autoplay was really getting on my nerves, every time I hit the back button to return to the homepage it would start again. I thought I would write to you and give some feedback.

    I tried to use your contact us form and it said "please find some other way to contact the administrator." ohkay.... so I tried to sign up here. Once I found the registration page (obvious to old users, hard for me?) I was offered a "log in with facebook" option. I tried that. Did it create an account and connect? No. It asked for a password to associate with an existing account. Well I didn't have one, so I went back through registration and tried again.

    I'm sorry I come off so negative on my first post. I'm grateful your software exists, it will be a huge time saver for me. Thank you!

    Regards,

    Wow, it wouldn't let me make reddit robotics a URL, or put in a link to my stewart platform. It also didn't tell me what I was doing wrong, so I had to remove content from my post until I figured it out by accident. Not friendly to new users, hey?
