I found this a very intrusive site - I really dislike these animated slide in fade in distractions.
- haldean 14y agoNot only the slide-in nonsense, but also the wiggling "Try Me!" arrow on the right. "You may also like" panels are becoming the Clippy of blogs and news sites.
- pbhjpbhj 14y agoDidn't see any of it with noscript on. What's the "try me" pointing to? I tried clicking it and it did nothing, scrolling down it just points to blank right margin all the way ...? I have no problem with "you may also like" and have found the links useful on occassion; anything animated without user interaction however is generally a turn off for me.
- icebraining 14y agoWhat's the "try me" pointing to? Some kind of feedback tool about the site.
- dice 14y agoI used the feedback tool to inform the author that the "Try me!" was annoying enough to cause me to want to leave a nasty note. So I guess it worked?
- nicholassmith 14y agoYeah, it's pretty crappy as the article is actually fairly good but it's buried in excess.
- damncabbage 14y agoAgreed; this was one I hit the Readability bookmarklet for straight away. (Having said that, I went back afterwards and filled out the feedback form pointing out the annoying bits. It was a good article, and I wanted to repay the favour; I recommend you do the same if you agree.)
- grexi 14y agoI've fixed the page, it's now more focused on the content. Thanks for all the great feedback!
