That country selector that is all the country flags of the world in greyscale with colours only shown on mouse-over deserves a special mention. Not really a problem if you're just entering garbage information, but try to find the proper flag if you actually want the correct one. Bonus points if you are one of the many lucky citizens born under a flag that consists of three horizontal or vertical areas of equal size.

Even worse: several entries such as France, French Guyana share the exact same flag because they are, you know, the same country.

I have to admit I'm a little surprised the entire form wasn't cleared on a failure.

Don't give them any ideas

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!?!

"Under construction" gifs of course!

Nice. I quit before trying to put in a password. Point taken. Point proven.

A bad UI will be the end of your business.

Is 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.

But I still couldn't figure out which ones were "checks" or "light pictures"

Brilliant! Captures every frustration I have ever had with stupid-ass, half-baked web forms. Is there a form in there that messes up with your autofill? That could be a nice addition. I couldn't make it past the 1st form. I could feel my heartbeat go up as I was trying to figure my way around it. I had to close it so that I could remain calm for the rest of the day.

The "Select All" box killed me

Same! Until I found the "Unselect All" box and was happy again.

Well, for me unselect doesn't actually work. To top it of I can't deselect some choices and no matter what it won't work. Stuck here.

You don't have to get all the picture choices right, you just have to select all the pictures on the last two screens.
