#17210.22 that was frustrating...

#173I found the country selection by black and white flag to be deliciously horrible. And the bow captcha was just hilarious. Kudos to the creators for the level of absurdity of this form.

#174Actually, I have spend more time on some 'real' sign up pages...
At least this time, I was constantly laughing about the somewhat absurd combinations. But I am missing some of the harder parts, like forms not showing because they are only loaded when you disable your ad-blocker or forms working in specific browser versions only. However, that would probably make it too hard/realistic.
I love it!
PS: Just to give an example: The login form for the German Vorwerk website does not show in Firefox https://www.vorwerk.com/de/de/s/shop/login and when you opt to register, the button just disappears, but nothing else happens... And yes, you need that form to actually buy products.

That Vorwerk form works fine for me in Firefox (Nightly, with uBlock Origin).

#176Well...I did it...somehow...I did... 00:06:57 That seems too fast...apparently i've experienced these things far too much. It actually was filling me with rage. I came close to saying fuck it...I really did... Well done to the creators...you managed to, with 100% accuracy, capture every single thing that's horrible about signing up to websites. That bow thing though...gotta admit, was worth it just for the chuckle I…

Oh no no no. For an authentic experience it needs to reload the page and wipe out all forms when you click 'next' and one of the fields is not valid. (And of course reloading the page should take at least five seconds.)

#177Thanks, I hate it (or love all the dark patterns in one place :) ). On mobile I have tried to go through the first form and rage quit after 3 minutes. How do you close that hurry up modal? You could only expand or lock it, but did not see how to close it.

#178bla I couldn't find any acceptable password......
Re: User Inyerface – A worst-practice UI experiment
#179I haven't laughed this much in a while, well done! (Or... the opposite of that?)
I was just a little disappointed when I clicked the back button and it actually worked instead of the game hijacking it and filling my tab history with garbage.

#180For Canadians... I love this one: ENTER YOUR POSTAL CODE: A1A1A1 Lazy %@$# front-end devs that can't reformat the input!
The U.K. government does this a ton with random reference numbers, even on their new (mostly good) sites and it drives me up the wall. Oftentimes they will give you these numbers with spaces but the form will not let you enter it with spaces (so it will fail if you copy-paste), or even worse the form will have a size limit so if you paste your 10 digit number with two spaces, the last two digits will be chopped off s…
Here is the official UK postcode regex:
^([Gg][Ii][Rr] 0[Aa]{2})|((([A-Za-z][0-9]{1,2})|(([A-Za-z][A-Ha-hJ-Yj-y][0-9]{1,2})|(([A-Za-z][0-9][A-Za-z])|([A-Za-z][A-Ha-hJ-Yj-y][0-9]?[A-Za-z])))) [0-9][A-Za-z]{2})$
