So my pager looks like this for some reason, I'm using my laptop and I've never really used it for byond so I don't know what could be wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Some system specs would be helpful. I would also suggest opening your BYOND data directory and deleting the "pager" folder there (not while the pager is open).
honestly, compared to 3.5 byond... the pager feels woefully underused and inadequate... back then it used to be the only reliable way to communicate with someone in byond (especially before the members only crap)

now people hardly ever have a reason to use it (plus its limited only to Byond Members)

The pager is not currently limited to BYOND Members. Anyone can use it.
