Thank you for copy and pasting this. They need to fire their designer right away. There is absolutely no reason for me to wait 10+ seconds for their website to load text data. WTAF are they thinking?

It may seem like a small thing, but it is an important detail, and it makes me question if the company is snake oil or not. It doesn't appear very professional to take this approach. Maybe it was ok in 1998, but not today.

> Maybe it was ok in 1998

It wasn't.

Not sure if the screwed up scroll behavior was possible in 1998 but it wouldn't have been ok then either.

Yeah I gave up and came here to read the complaints against the site and I'm glad I did as I found the article interesting.

Even more "interesting" is that in their news section was this article: https://www.prometheusfuels.com/news/prometheus-site-of-the-... - so I don't think they're going to be listening to HN about their design anytime soon, which is a shame as that site is awful.

The irony that you made me sit through the loading animation to see that. I've never heard of the FWA, but I'm going to make my own award site and give myself awards every year, maybe biannually.
FWIW, they won the awards for their homepage animation experience, not for their news/blog static text experience.
That’s a dev problem…
