What is up with the next web and other website like Wired that keep getting linked here? They overload the purpose of the arrow keys which screws me over big time if I misspress slightly while trying to scroll down. The article I got moved to then switched to using the arrow keys to change between pages of the article, not between articles, and so I could no longer go back to the previous article. Even the back button on my browser was broken by their website and would just end up taking me back to the place that I was at. It makes reading so damn annoying; why do they do it? Wired even had it that if I accidently hit, say, right arrow and then tried to go back with the left arrow key it would 'forget' the fact that I had all the pages of the article open so I would no longer be able to see where I used to be.
Please don't make arrow keys do things! They're right next to up/down arrow keys which I use to read your article and it's easy to not actually hit 'alt' when trying to go back or forward in history.
- mattflaschen 14y agoI agree this is quite annoying. I just told them so. Consider doing the same so they know it's widespread. http://www.wired.com/about/feedback/ http://www.wired.com/about/feedback/
