More mindless ranting...

This time about webdesign I just don't like.

1. Moving text. This is okay if the "text" is an image, or if it's a slow moving news banner, but not if it's a link. Nobody really wants to play tag on your site.

2. Those things where it fades from one page to another. When I click a link, I want to just go to the new site, I don't want to sit and wait while a circle appears or it all pixelates into the new site.

3. Text that's constantly changing fonts, sizes, or from bold to italic to underlined to all three. If you want to emphasize something, good, pick ONE thing for emphasis and stick with it. Pick ONE font, too, it really causes eyestrain to have to keep switching.

4. Splash screens. Is that what they're called? The front page of a site where it plays a stupid animation with loud and/or obnoxious music and there's NO WAY TO AVOID IT, you just have to sit through it before you get to the information. Anything that you can skip past is okay, but if you can't, I don't want to see it.

5. White text on black background. That always gives me a headache.

That's about it. Thanks for reading. I'm tired.

If you user IE you can stop it from playing animation and sounds in web pages. Go to Tools, Internet options and Advanced. Then scroll down until you find it, remove tick from box.

It's what I do when on a shopping spree in Neo - I also take the tick out of the Show Pictures box. Pages load faster too.

Yeah, and I can also set my accessability options to a default font, size, and color. But then I'd have nothing to bitch about :)

Thanks, though.

lol...I didn't know that about default size and colour though. I might try that as I hate reading different coloured fonts.
