Brilliant! Would suggest tick box part to not require all tick boxes to be ticked. So when user notices their wrong assumption with tick boxes being at bottom, they have to redo whole thing again
User Inyerface – A worst-practice UI experiment

#102I about fell off my chair laughing with how slow closing the "how can we help" popover was. If I had to write a backstory for this I'd say some dev was really proud of animating that and wanted to make sure everyone noticed it.
And it does not even being hided all the way down!

I rather miss those early days. Web 1.0 is looked down on for its visual clutter (and definitely the hatred of image backgrounds and animated text was well-deserved), but Web 2.0 has just as much if not more clutter, and of a darker nature.
My kids always insisted on using the blink and marquee tags together :O
But how else could you make sure people knew your content was coming soon!?!

#104Instagram does something similar if it detects that you are on mobile. A huge banner advertising their app is displayed, and the [x] in the top right corner is almost impossible to hit.
Better than yelp (and some other sites I'm sure) which literally demand you install the app, ie provide little to no functionality on mobile web.

#105Is it possible to get through the captcha? I had to open console & edit the validate function to get through it.

You have to scroll upwards to see that the checkboxes are above each picture.

Right? Every new web developer that first learns how to do animations REALLY over does them. It's like how elementary school kids write their "papers" in comic sans (and eight other fonts half-way through) and each word is a different color. Or they make a power point and every-single-dang-thing just HAS to spin into the slide.
> like how elementary school kids write their "papers" in comic sans (and eight other fonts half-way through) and each word is a different color HA! I did that! I thought it made the essay more interesting to read, and it was a pain in the ass since I had to transfer the text by hand (ie rewrite it) in Deluxepaint on my Amiga 500, then print on our 9-needle matrix printer. Oh, how I miss the sound of that. Or do I? N…
I wonder how much of this is related to how we teach kids initially -- everything is primary colours; schools value appearance of writing above content ('it's so neat'); it's all about big gestures, no subtlety; ...?

#108That looks like a clone of most airline sites that I regularly have to endure.

#109We should make a website that does everything in the opposite way: 1) Require adblock 2) Banner saying the website doesn't use cookies, which goes away if you mouseover 3) If you're on mobile, show a banner saying the website doesn't have an app 4) A signup form, but when you try to focus it, it turns into a banner saying "jk this website doesn't have signup"

#110I am a UX designer with 30 years of digital design experience, 20 of those in UX/UI design. In my opinion, UX is dead. Companies don't want it. They still think they want it from a competition standpoint, but in terms of what value UX brings, they don't care and would prefer not to have it. UX in corporations is purely a political thing now.
It used to be that commerical activity on the internet was not allowed. This was because, in part, we knew it would ruin the experience. Now, the internet is pretty much 100% commercialized. its a wasteland and it will only get worse.
I have an exit strategy in play to get out of UX and anything to do with working on the internet. UX and UI design will be rolled into "design" and eventually be automated. Same with coding. So, if you think you have a nice career ahead of you as a UX or UI designer or a web developer, think again. Your days are numbered.
