it's truly lame, but I always have to laugh when I hit CTRL + END on their question-pages
- spyrosk 17y agoCould you please explain this a bit more? I'm not sure if this a browser specific thing but on opera I just get to the bottom of the page. edit: Oh, I was looking on a page that had no answers. Didn't realise that at the time.
- nollidge 17y agoI still don't get it? There's nothing interesting at the bottom of their pages...
- misterbwong 17y agoThe context got a bit messed up due to the way HN ranks comments but _giu is referring to the experts exchange answer pages that are returned from a Google search. If you receive a search result on Google that points to an EE question page, you can see the answers at the end of the page. EE tricks casual visitors into thinking they need an account by putting a long list of things at the top of the page and the real answers all the way at the bottom. This way Google ranks the question/answer but people think they need to buy an account. Example Google Search (Click 2nd link): http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=QQM&q=sql+problem+string+experts+exchange&aq=f&oq=&aqi= http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&... note If you visit the link directly, the real answers disappear. Yet another sneaky EE trick, this time preventing bookmarking/direct linking.
