Jan 15	comment	How to not make my website have a “1990's” look The problem is you don't have any animated gifs or marquee text. Also there are these JavaScripts which you can make something follow the mouse cursor. You should do a Webmonkey tutorial on these, go to Lycos in Netscape Navigator and search for them.
Jan 2	comment	Do people really want to look at multiple windows at once? I'd say it completely depends on the scenario. It's not a simple case of "It's good" or "It's bad"

Dec 17	comment	Maximum set of stairs users are willing to climb before needing an elevator 742 Steps......
Dec 5	answered	Why is Facebook using two Form styles in their homepage?
Dec 5	comment	Why do checkout processes place payment info last? I'd feel uneasy if someone asked me for payment details before I saw what I was getting, like real life.
Dec 4	comment	Do user experience practitioners ever have to worry about code? I've seen some very poor HTML output from developers, using the completely wrong tags making it markup soup and very inaccessible. I am forever trying to move away from writing HTML / CSS / JS jQuery but I don't think it's realistic at least for the near future!
Dec 3	comment	Should I increase or decrease items in a wizard progress? +1 - % is a possibly but in my circumstance the users needs to know what each step is. I agree 'The risk of showing only the minimal set of steps up front, then adding items, is that the user feels like the finish line is moving farther and farther away.' could be an issue, you'd have to weight up the context of the form and if it's appropriate.
Dec 3	comment	Should I increase or decrease items in a wizard progress? These were my thoughts too. We had gone for this approach in the first place but your answers helps clarify my decision. Thanks!

Nov 19	comment	Can higher speeds harm the user experience? +1 This was my first thought when I saw this question!
Nov 15	comment	Limiting access before email address is confirmed Having read this again I think the OP title is misleading. Can it be changed to something like "Limiting access before email address is confirmed"
Nov 15	comment	Limiting access before email address is confirmed Ah my mistake, I misread the question and thought you meant delaying the email and not allowing them to continue into account.
Nov 15	comment	Limiting access before email address is confirmed Personal opinion - I don't see how delaying it is going to help. If they are not going to confirm right away what makes you think they will confirm 3 hours later?
Nov 14	comment	Deleting object when a related item is in use Might be helpful if you supplied an image which demonstrates this.
Nov 8	comment	Yes/No radio buttons: Vertical or horizontal Not true for all situations. If you want people to consciously choose between 2 options a radio works better because it forces a choice, a single checkbox as a choice in this context can't be a required field.
