Oh god the terms and condition ultra slow scroll got me to close the page. This is brilliant.
The cookie approval dialogue was quite snappy though. Better than most implementations I've seen. Didn't reload the page. Didn't display a large spinner once you made a choice.

#222I like the chat help interface. It's almost as good as Asus', which I had the misfortune to be trying to use yesterday. https://www.asus.com/uk/ It's genius. It's got a little "online services" icon with a friendly smiley face with a microphone and headphones. You click on it, expecting an interactive chat but what you actually get is a photo of someone smiling hugely with headphones on and a laptop open, and a sideb…
I still don't get why people want chatbots as they're terrible UI, so frustrating to use even when they're made properly.

#225Earlier quoted context omitted.
I scrolled down and still couldn't see the checkboxes under the last row. Maybe it also doesn't work on Firefox, because as trivial as it is to make a site that works everywhere no one does. Normally this frustrates me, but if that's the case here it kind of makes sense.
The checkboxes are actually above all of the images. I tried scrolling down, realized I couldn't, then scrolled up to find the unfilled row at the top...

#227That 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.

Oh I definitely recognise this, it's using Microsoft's Bot Framework ( https://dev.botframework.com/ ). I had to make a chatbot for a hospital during my end of studies internship. I still don't get why people want chatbots as they're terrible UI, so frustrating to use even when they're made properly.

#230I really like (read as: hate) the placeholder text not clearing out and then the user input text being the same color as the placeholder.
