Web Design FYI

Sure, I know that embedded Flash with all its cool graphics really impresses corporate but frankly those of us who have to actually use your slow-loading stupid dancing graphics overloaded piece of crap aren't. And your wildly inaccurate 'percentage loaded' display only serves to remind me how much time, and bandwidth, I'm wasting waiting to see a trailer for a movie I'll prolly never bother to go see.

And another thing, what's with the complete waste of time 'Enter Site' page? What am I, a Berenstain Bear......i.e., Do I dare to go into your spooky old website?

Here's a good rule of thumb: If corporate thinks your site design is 'daring', 'bold', 'innovated'.....trash it & start over.

That ain't no lie

I hate flash sites

Too much flash and splash and dash and what ever else they call it and not enough substance

I've a better approach: if it's a Flash site, I usually leave. (btw Deb, tried Firefox & didn't like it.)

I don't mind it so much when there's a reason for it (like Foamy the Squirrel). But when I have to set through a stupid Flash presentation just to get to the "Enter this site" link, that just pisses me off.

With you all the way Rita. Flash sucks.

What sux even worse is the s.o.b. comment spammer who keeps trying to leave crap in these comments. I'm going to have to close comments on this post cuz I don't have time to keep deleting this fool. Sorry guys.
