Speaking of disabling the back button....have you ever gotten really angry and sent an e mail to someone that has done that telling them how rude they are to try and keep you on their web site like that?

I have.

Thou shalt never, ever even consider disabling the back button in my browser.

That really gets to me too... I thought they were a nice idea when they first came out - around 3-4 years ago - but apparently people haven't learned to let it go.

Oh, I just have to add some of my biggest pet peeves.

Thou shalt not use screen captures of windows alert boxes and make them into banner ads. This must be particularly annoying to Mac people.

Thou shalt not use screen caputres of form boxes and put them in banner ads.

Thou shalt not try to trick people. Period. Especially when your methods of trickery are really lame.

Thou shalt not try to fake a computer interface for use in other media.

Hey those are much better. They are similar to the Thou Shalt thread that I believe Webmistress started a while back.

Some of those are the same thing (graphic things), but they did forget the blinking and marqueeing and I wont take Busy, distracting backgrounds personaly hehe.

also think bad use of flash should be on there too.

One thing on the list "Spelling/Grammar" is a hard one universaly, NZ uses the english english, not the USA's english (if that makes sense) so my spelling and gramer always fails spelling and gramer checks. but in general most words are spelt the same, unless I spell in Maori (native NZ language) and no spell checker knows what I'm on about lol
